Arranging Pictures - Do You Have A Big Boring Wall??

Everybody but me has a wall that needs ' something.'

The only reason why I don't have an empty wall

 is I have been in my home for quite some time {25 years}, 

and I am a designer.

I am relatively confident & fearless 

when it comes to this stuff.

The reason why I am confident and fearless is 

because

I have done this sort of thing all my life.

And it is all I have ever done.

Practice makes; 

{not perfect} but a less freaked out person when attempting this sort of thing.

Throw perfect out the window

unless Architectural Digest is featuring 

your big boring wall in a 'wall' in a  BEFORE & AFTER series.

If you have a big blank wall .....

do 'something.'

Unless of course 

you want that "I live in a warehouse" look.

And many people do.

But... if you do not want the

"I live in a  warehouse" look.

Don't make yourself nutzo.

Just come up with a teeny weeny concept for the wall.

Photographs of family & friends

or 

art - interesting images.

It is only my opinion...

I feel that you shouldn't mix personal photographs with art.

Just decide on one

 or the other.

I had to post this image....

it cracked me up.

This must be an engineer's home.

Don't OVER THINK this project.

As a matter of fact....

don't make this into an unpleasant 'science project.'

I think what you want to do is to

 make the wall and your home

more interesting and reflect 'who you are' in 

the images you select.

Right?

Are you with me?

Unfortunately the frames are the part of this project that is costly.

If you mix the frame styles....

this brings down the cost considerably.

here are some good sources for frames;

flea markets, garage sales. dollar stores, drugstores ....

You can use a simple approach 

place the largest or focal image

 in the center and build outwards.

That is what I do 

when I am doing a 'cluster' of images 

and they are all different sizes.

This wall is not PERFECT.

{part of the charming style}

But, 

is it not 100% better than a blank or empty wall?

Like this room............

so cute and charming.

Take all the items off the walls....

yucko!!!

Have a great week!!

Today At The Design Center of The Americas

This was a run of the mill promo for the D.C.O.T.A. or  Design Center of The Americas, 

But it was featuring a very hot deign team out of Miami.

hit this to read the press on them

Anyway I found some things that I thought were fabulous.

The desk is interesting and intricate.

The chair is 'over the top' for me.

I will take a pass on these.

But this really peaked my interest.

I loved this setting.

The chairs are fabulous!!!

I think it may be limed oak.

I was sneaking the pictures....so I had to be quick about it.

The back and the feet are great.

So refreshing.

Very carefully now.......

This blew me away!!

I can see a mermaid sitting in this chair in an ocean front

Palm Beach home.

But wait......

Could you die?

Mom,... I know this will blow you away.

She will love this shell chair.

The wholesale price on this ONE chair is 24.000.00.

If you loved this shell chair and had the money.....

would you buy it?

It is all so easy on the eyess.

Not cluttered.

This place feels roomy.

{it should right?}

This room is cozy to me

but.....

The roof top garden beats all else.

This room is just too calm for me....

BORING.

....if you care to jump on over to Architectural Digest

hit ME hard!

Now that Monday is here...what are your plans for today?

OR...the best way you have found to organize your day?

I am interested. Really.
