So I came across this post today and was amazed! I want to do something like this in my house too. I have no idea how it started or why, but when I was younger I collected matchbooks. People would always bring one back for me from cool places that I didn't get to go to (I still have that cool wooden one from Sweden Vee).  I admit that I'm still "collecting" (I'll take extra if they're cool!), but its more passive now.  I'll have to see if I can find something similar. :) Via Design*Sponge.
