Nook Cottage: Hanging Art

As I'm waiting for my sofa and dining table to be delivered next week (finally!) I've started planning in ernest where I'll be hanging my art. I have between 25-30 pieces ranging from fairly large (30x40) to teeny (5x5). Half of my collection just came out of my parent's house including several watercolors by my late aunt Bette Wasserboehr, who was a noted New England water colorist, teacher, gallery owner and mentor to many painters. There is no real theme to what I have. I like photography so I have several framed photographs, some I've taken, other's by better photographers! I have a lot of framed prints of varying subjects. It's just a matter of making them all work together and showing them off well.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/db/18/c7/db18c78be043933aa31b2159a3f22dc5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/db/18/c7/db18c78be043933aa31b2159a3f22dc5.jpg" /></a></div><br />This Charlotte Moss space has long been my inspiration - I just love everything about it!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3kWN-Np89j59AO6TLOcQGXkPd79B97AwhL-wmilVulDgotHIZfA4BcRY8oTeirm77FU2BfpvYR3j6LbAqj4NJZr-egpYG3MDdXymMTBm_j6oUsTXhbkY_3tQaakepiAH6BQbEHfJWg3U/s1600/charlotte+moss+bedroom.tiff" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3kWN-Np89j59AO6TLOcQGXkPd79B97AwhL-wmilVulDgotHIZfA4BcRY8oTeirm77FU2BfpvYR3j6LbAqj4NJZr-egpYG3MDdXymMTBm_j6oUsTXhbkY_3tQaakepiAH6BQbEHfJWg3U/s1600/charlotte+moss+bedroom.tiff" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br />I've also always been inspired by this famous Hubert Robert "Grande Galerie du Louvre" (1796).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Hubert_Robert_-_Projet_d'am%C3%A9nagement_de_la_Grande_Galerie_du_Louvre_(1796).JPG/1024px-Hubert_Robert_-_Projet_d'am%C3%A9nagement_de_la_Grande_Galerie_du_Louvre_(1796).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="508" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Hubert_Robert_-_Projet_d'am%C3%A9nagement_de_la_Grande_Galerie_du_Louvre_(1796).JPG/1024px-Hubert_Robert_-_Projet_d'am%C3%A9nagement_de_la_Grande_Galerie_du_Louvre_(1796).JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvMHSWsaOHhJPCpaZoPPYpHrFxPj7eCv_-nh9A8Zws86cgarc4UPCACU4ssY-sCc9vQDTcvr5Ok7WJC5LUNKNLv-MgkHGtxH-YhFMclazb9-vibd-S4YFrqQY7LruY_6pezTpqPHNlVMU/s1600/Bedroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvMHSWsaOHhJPCpaZoPPYpHrFxPj7eCv_-nh9A8Zws86cgarc4UPCACU4ssY-sCc9vQDTcvr5Ok7WJC5LUNKNLv-MgkHGtxH-YhFMclazb9-vibd-S4YFrqQY7LruY_6pezTpqPHNlVMU/s1600/Bedroom.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Here is a rendering of my new bedroom. Just this week I got in the custom headboard and re-upholstered chair in a cut velvet called Watersedge from Lee Jofa and I am so thrilled with how they came out!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzXKSMUgjeyWp6WjvlnfgSmPspXbttkrje6ukkZqabTO-AXUHTLFEGFm5JiKuoGe55uDEVL_oThRzaaZNE-DtqTseoBTypDtT1eND9CyaFvHJOw6V_vwkq_HgdfZDcO47FKCrwI-uP-ck/s1600/Headboard+and+chair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzXKSMUgjeyWp6WjvlnfgSmPspXbttkrje6ukkZqabTO-AXUHTLFEGFm5JiKuoGe55uDEVL_oThRzaaZNE-DtqTseoBTypDtT1eND9CyaFvHJOw6V_vwkq_HgdfZDcO47FKCrwI-uP-ck/s1600/Headboard+and+chair.jpg" /></a></div><br />The chair is currently in my living room since all I have in there at the moment is a little settee - which isn't too comfortable. But when the sofa comes, the chair will be moved back to the bedroom.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0fw09D_W3vFnSShUf2MqkCklol_5_PzRZ2-V6bEGIM90jhejsNcZyYSAdb4HJUKdggsCnxAj7aR2ZVQ2m9DyEPb3RRkDmqqs8VJ-q1wKpc3WwMcHJa7sP5WHG2WYYd-ZEmGMXgPtewi0/s1600/IMG_3039.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0fw09D_W3vFnSShUf2MqkCklol_5_PzRZ2-V6bEGIM90jhejsNcZyYSAdb4HJUKdggsCnxAj7aR2ZVQ2m9DyEPb3RRkDmqqs8VJ-q1wKpc3WwMcHJa7sP5WHG2WYYd-ZEmGMXgPtewi0/s1600/IMG_3039.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />(Note: the wall color isn't nearly so lime green as it appears here, but it is a very strong green, which I love.)<br /><br />Since the bedroom is nearly complete (draperies to come) I started selecting what looked nice with the very green walls and did a sketch of an approximate layout. One of the issues is that due to the different sized side tables, the bed itself is not centered on the wall, so the layout of the art needs to mitigate this issue and not end up looking off-center.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSCJo_N8mwa7edevgjpZpqw6cfcCabPwd2Im2pIIVHhleJ8HxmOzLlGIctLLVMOss7JyNa_ILqAt9wRsO5VQGhWTYuw-mhjoBzZcgSAawRmcfQqKoEUR2YJvQb8oke4wSYj4nSQn-SR_U/s1600/IMG_3041.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSCJo_N8mwa7edevgjpZpqw6cfcCabPwd2Im2pIIVHhleJ8HxmOzLlGIctLLVMOss7JyNa_ILqAt9wRsO5VQGhWTYuw-mhjoBzZcgSAawRmcfQqKoEUR2YJvQb8oke4wSYj4nSQn-SR_U/s1600/IMG_3041.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />I'm striving for a more casual placement of the art around my house - not so formal. Sort of a planned, unplanned look.<br /><br />I love how designer Lauren Liess places art in her spaces. She has such an ability to create truly organic looking layouts, even though everything is very well-planned. These from her own house:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.laurenliess.com/blog/king/bedroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://www.laurenliess.com/blog/king/bedroom.jpg" width="448" /></a></div><br />And Lauren's method of planning her art placement:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.laurenliess.com/blog/king/gallery.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://www.laurenliess.com/blog/king/gallery.jpg" width="632" /></a></div><br />And this from Lauren's kitchen, so fantastic!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.laurenliess.com/blog/Kitchen/Norman_13033LL_087_web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://www.laurenliess.com/blog/Kitchen/Norman_13033LL_087_web.jpg" width="476" /></a></div><br />I'm also hugely inspired by Miles Redd's use of art in his interiors. This from his house:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ce/fc/44/cefc442975470f2b214e0d029f0cb45a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ce/fc/44/cefc442975470f2b214e0d029f0cb45a.jpg" width="478" /></a></div><br />And this is another Miles space:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/c7/9b/38/c79b381d0c1d7436b42def97e964fc09.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/c7/9b/38/c79b381d0c1d7436b42def97e964fc09.jpg" width="534" /></a></div><br />Hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll have the bedroom done. And then I can finish up the rest when the sofa and dining table come. More photos to come!<br /><br />How do you like to handle your art? Do you have a mixed group, or do you prefer more classic gallery spaces with coordinating framing and white walls?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF37vILWIzyFzLouS89L5PEPVHv0-GuSW4-54yMmYwYM5JWZIzeTq5U5AGYU0HreZfrne9Do2lkX3J7_51X2kxA1GcwS4KPSaHcsL2qaaQsPiYq72qybEB4Oft1FIKzNNqhPf1NHus4Pc/s1600/Linda+sig2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF37vILWIzyFzLouS89L5PEPVHv0-GuSW4-54yMmYwYM5JWZIzeTq5U5AGYU0HreZfrne9Do2lkX3J7_51X2kxA1GcwS4KPSaHcsL2qaaQsPiYq72qybEB4Oft1FIKzNNqhPf1NHus4Pc/s1600/Linda+sig2.png" /></a></div><br /><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 86px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 7550px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 86px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 7550px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 86px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 7550px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 86px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 7550px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a>

Small Spaces: Dark vs. Light

Common thought is that a small space should be painted a light color so as to make it feel bigger. Is this fact or fiction? Well, it depends on the circumstance. As designers, we love a bold and dramatic space, even in a bathroom. As a matter of fact, we often think "especially in a bathroom!" because it's not a space one spends a huge amount of time in, we can afford to go bold. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/1f/c4/14/1fc414ecfcd05c44fd61c88e64a3b775.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/1f/c4/14/1fc414ecfcd05c44fd61c88e64a3b775.jpg" /></a></div><br />Of course, dark can be dramatic and sexy. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/e0/db/5f/e0db5f07be6188636d8ddd221d7f075c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/e0/db/5f/e0db5f07be6188636d8ddd221d7f075c.jpg" /></a></div><br />Masculine and the perfect background for displaying art.

Hey, for a rental, it showed some flair. I thought the color a little too cobalt blue for my taste, however. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJpfo8DBNLxjiO0Dh9hlQBCzYKs43iPBxwPW-KpUreWUblIEFFFb-ogQnK0V80Z31np_1uSScmBURBgJW6qYRSjJQyQNm7XY8GTSI5ihJb3Kf93MYUWy-C-9s7ebowJhTd-B1-e9oVWGU/s1600/IMG_4839.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJpfo8DBNLxjiO0Dh9hlQBCzYKs43iPBxwPW-KpUreWUblIEFFFb-ogQnK0V80Z31np_1uSScmBURBgJW6qYRSjJQyQNm7XY8GTSI5ihJb3Kf93MYUWy-C-9s7ebowJhTd-B1-e9oVWGU/s1600/IMG_4839.JPG" /></a></div><br />When I first saw it in person, I found that the color was really more of a peacock blue, which I prefer over cobalt. (I'm a green person, not a blue person.) I initially decided to keep the color - it was bold and very different for me, which  I thought would be fun. Plus, bathrooms are a PIA to paint. However, it also made the space feel very small and when I came back to sign the lease and take a better look around, I realized the walls were in rough condition with lots of streaks.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8hTb-niYXWDUCxb3PKVNXwNo8UfS2-MqDB6C_tgP3uozX_KGIiVg7xPutYkSOOKi5RgKPWuxpTVG-qdT2Ee3bvRW_q4-aV-MhmoO3Kp9nySWN9NLJ55wUL6Ha_GLYmRQU0ipWypESK0o/s1600/IMG_4876.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8hTb-niYXWDUCxb3PKVNXwNo8UfS2-MqDB6C_tgP3uozX_KGIiVg7xPutYkSOOKi5RgKPWuxpTVG-qdT2Ee3bvRW_q4-aV-MhmoO3Kp9nySWN9NLJ55wUL6Ha_GLYmRQU0ipWypESK0o/s1600/IMG_4876.jpg" width="478" /></a></div><br />So, decision made, I decided to paint it. Pink (Ben Moore Pink Hibiscus).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9V4cD8T62-B-QGMoQhI_Ao4q9Ufs3FG34JbsM1C1bLx9HCtHoMMSWgQzssdXnYLfTnE7Ivz8z8kEl9NarlB9m7Qatjw1T-qMpHtDhJQy4PpdhfaWqRPzayOrReNgTt_d1KSdXHfGxqnA/s1600/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9V4cD8T62-B-QGMoQhI_Ao4q9Ufs3FG34JbsM1C1bLx9HCtHoMMSWgQzssdXnYLfTnE7Ivz8z8kEl9NarlB9m7Qatjw1T-qMpHtDhJQy4PpdhfaWqRPzayOrReNgTt_d1KSdXHfGxqnA/s1600/photo.jpg" width="478" /></a></div><br />And it makes it feel so. much. bigger. A friend who came with me the first time I looked at it has since said he thought the bathroom was teeny tiny, but realized it's not so bad. I think it's that the lower corners aren't cloaked in shadow anymore. My color palette throughout is pink, beige and green, with touches of black, so this fits in well. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the window yet - maybe a grass shade hung above for texture. There aren't privacy issues (unless someone wants to get a ladder) and the window lets in lots of light, which is nice. Or, I'll just take of the existing hardware and be done with it.  If I owned I'd definitely replace the light fixture for something more upscale - and maybe I still will at some point. I was going to have my painter relocate the toilet roll holder, but there's not really a better spot. The shower is on the other side of the toilet and there is no available wall space there. Still to come - window treatment (possibly) and a shower curtain. Maybe some more art. <br /><br />So, do you have a preference?
