Envious

I've always loved this image. That framed needlework haunts my dreams! One of my clients just found a beautiful antique piece of embroidery on a midnight blue background and we're considering framing it for her apartment. And truthfully, I'm jealous she found the piece first! I'd love something like it for my own dining room walls...

Have a wonderful weekend! xxxx

Inspiration {Thursday} - Big Art

I'm thinking my big white walls need an over-sized piece of amazing art...

One of my very favorite rooms, by designer Katie Ridder. Anyone recognize the artist?

A New Kind of Family Photo

I've heard more than one decorator say you should never display photos of yourself or your family in your own home. I say do what you want to do. I think it's so cool to blow up a fun family photo to hang as art. Bonus points for using shots that are a little off - or at least not posed.

HURRY!! The Commission Project

Jordan's amazingly talented husband, artist Paul Ferney, is accepting a limited number of commissions at about half price. And they come with a frame! The first 100 spots sold out in a matter of hours, but Jordan just announced they will be accepting a few more commissions.

Want to see what I'm getting? It's Red Mountain in Arizona, near where where Michael and I both grew up. I can't wait to see the painting in person some time next week! And I'm even more excited to hang it on our wall. It will be a nice reminder of home...

Gallery Walls: Another Method

So, you want to hang a gallery wall, you say? But you don't want to put a million holes in your wall through trial and error. And you don't have eight years to cut out kraft paper templates, ala Martha. Maybe you want something a little more... technical than my approach?

You're in luck! The adorable Marissa from Roost Home figured out a quick, easy and exact method for hanging a gallery wall. Go here for in-depth instructions, but the gist is...

1. Trace your arrangement on wax paper, making sure to mark the hanging mechanism.

2. Tape the wax paper template on the wall and tap in your nails.

3. Hang up your art and tear down your wax paper (which ever you feel comfortable doing first)

Voila! Easy and exact! Thanks, Marissa!

Chinoiserie Panels

Exciting news! I will soon be in the possession of 4 hand-painted Chinese wallpaper panels that look strikingly similar to the paper Barrie Benson used in this dining room featured in Domino.

I need to start brainstorming ideas for mounting the panels as a series. I really like the way Barrie framed hers. I think this is such a modern way to display a pretty traditional paper.

The only trick is, I don't want to paper my walls with the panels, and I don't want to use really heavy sheets of wood for mounting. And thin wood or composite will bow. Any ideas for mounting these 3x8' panels all together? I promise to share more details on the paper when it gets here, which should be soon.
