Wondering where to display the rocks your family collected on vacation? Hang some thick, natural wood frames and rest the rocks inside. (Museum wax can help hold them in place.) It turns them into instant artwork and places them an unexpected spot.

These hefty frames were found at 14th Street Antiques Market, and are a good example of client/designer collaboration. "We loved the weathered color but weren't sure exactly what to do with them," Williams explains. "I thought they might just go on the wall and stand alone; my client had the collection of white pebbles from her travels and when she placed them on the frames I loved it!" Would you believe that these kitchen counters are teal Corian underneath? Williams had them treated with a special paint finish to look like limestone. She also had some of the upper cabinet doors removed to create open shelving.

Chunky box-style frames, minus their glass, become cute, cottage-style display spaces.More:Medicine Cabinets: How to Get Revenge on Nosy PeopleDesigning With Souvenirs

Wall ArtUse chunky wood to make simple frames for your beach finds. You may be lucky enough to find some wood that has been washed up on the beach, but if not, use scrap wood from your local lumber yard.Tip: Try painting the frames using a dragging technique. Have plenty of paper towels ready and paint the wood a section at a time. As you paint each section, use another brush to drag the paint off. Wipe the excess paint off on the paper towels.This technique is usually used with a darker paint under a lighter one, but it looks great with just one color over the bare wood.

Neat frames/shelves. Brown stain, instead of white.
