Hus & Hem recently posted this Holland home....and I totally fell in love with it! It's so cozy! I am still hoping we get more publications here in the states similar to Hus & Hem. They do such a fantastic job! I should know, I was lucky enough to receive three of their issues earlier this year!
Revista TPM is another site I came across that I wanted to share with all of you. It is a Brazilian website, full of lots of interesting content. Here's a peek from their home decor section I loved!
Seriously, have you visited the Architectural Digest website lately? They feature some of the most impressive pieces of real estate properties out there. Here is some dreamy-looking architecture I know you'll like!
ALSO BIG NEWS: They're having OPEN AUDITIONS in NYC for an opportunity to appear in the pages of their magazine!! All you have to do is visit them on October 7th at Manhattan's D&D Building (located at 979 3rd ave. bet 58th & 59). Event begins at 9am sharp & is open to professionals & (BEST PART---> non -professionals). Bring your portfolio & get ready to show them your work.
1 - You may use various sizes of frames for this project, I prefer to stick with 2-3 different sizes. Mostly 5x7's , 8x10's & a few 11x14's. I prefer to mix & match, using white & gold. Feel free to do the same or use the same color. etc. To brighten things up, you can add a couple of bright colored frames as well. It all depends on the rest of the decor within your home. If you have some old frames lying around, but they aren't the colors you want for this project, then PAINT them! That's what I did with a few of these.
2 - Draw the layout on a piece of paper as well as whatever piece of furniture will be against that wall etc.. (In my case, I aligned the frames in my drawing with my dining table as my guide).
3 - Layout the frames on the floor or table top to get an idea of where you'll place the frames & how it will appear.
4 - Now for placement of the frames on the wall, begin with the top center & work your way out.
5 - Every so often, measure the distance between each frame. Try not to go too far down or your frames may end up behind your sofa, dining table etc. (in my case, my dining table) Do you notice how my art doesn't go lower then the height of my table top? Make sure it's all proportionate to the wall. If you aren't placing any items of furniture near that wall, then you may place the frames as low or high on the wall as you see fit.
Tip: Try to maintain continuity throughout the project.

Did you all see this GORGEOUS New Orleans home on Apartment Therapy?? I was so wow'd (is that a word)? Maybe not. Anyhow, I would love to share it with those who haven't seen it. The home is off of the House Beautiful website. Enjoy! (P.S.) This week will be very busy for me, so I won't be able to post too much. But I will be checking in to read comments and so forth.
Edit
Don't you just love this PINK chalkboard!?
