Hanging Art is an Art

I've posted images of artwork groupings before.  Hanging art is an art to a certain degree - whether formally and symmetrically placed or massed randomly.  Here are some older images that have been hanging around in my Shelter magazine files which demonstrate both.

 

 

Porches

There’s nothing better than a southern porch.  Enough said!

Masculine Spaces

I’ve never been accused of doing frilly rooms.  In fact, at times I think the rooms in my house tend to be a little (and sometimes a lot) on the cold side of the decorating scale.  I gathered theses photos from my collection of shelter magazines.  I love them all and the one thing they have in common is they’re each rather masculine in their own way.  Masculine - not cold.  There…I now feel better!

 There is an art to hanging groups of artwork correctly.  If you're every having trouble and I'm not available to dash over and help use these photos as a guide!

Office Ideas

I've been back in my office for the last week or so after the Thanksgiving holidays and I realize what a mess it is! I work from home so I can pretty much do what I please to my office.  It's totally separate from my house so really there's no limitations - other than the money to go wild.   I first need to straighten this mess up.  But, maybe I just need to redecorate!  Perhaps I need a change of scenery and all the mess will look better.  

I'm currently studying these photos as inpiration.  Of course these range from cluttered to clean, but even the cluttered ones seem organized!
