Photo Walls

Everyone wants a photo wall, which means that everyone has a photo wall...So I am always trying to find new and creative ways to display photos. Here are a few examples of some photo walls that are fun, funky, and different!

One important factor is to have all of your photos printed in the same color scheme...all sepia or black & white for example. Matting should also be consistent, but the framing can be different colors, widths and styles....have fun with it! Placement is also just as important as the frame, photo and matting...I love the close proximity of these frames!

Pendant Lighting

I LOVE these pendants!!! It used to be that you could only find these at antique stores...and even then it took some searching! So, I was excited to find these available online...now you can have that "industrial chic" look at the click of a mouse!

Monochrome vs. Color!

Although I love monochrome interiors, I have a "hidden" love for the dark and bold paint colors! I say "hidden" because most people would gasp at the thought of painting their room Battleship Gray. It takes the right client, the right room, and the right light to pull this off...but when done well, its fantastic! Below are some exquisitely-executed "dark" rooms that I just love!

The trick is molding, the more you have the better. Thick door and window casings, as well as crown molding, help set off the dark paint color and make it pop.

Try dark molding for a richer look...
