This design project brings us to week 2, the "before"....... My project, being in my shop, presented numerous walls in need and a broad collection of art, mirrors, and objects to choose from. We had a large shelf here that ended up looking cluttered, the room had lost it's focus. We call this room the 'Ralph' room, where we strive for a Ralph Lauren look and this was another inspiration Want to join in on the fun? Where to start when creating a gallery wall...... Do you have a theme or collection to display? Or would you want to create a collected over time look? The same frame keeps your attention on the art Will you incorporate objects, for an interesting 3D effect? Objects only, a killer look don't you think? And don't forget to consider lighting Since I have gallery walls on the brain, here is one of my walls for a favorite client, Sharon. Facing a tall blank wall I brought in these large photographs of books, added a tall apple picking ladder; rustic vs contemporary, a different take on a book case What makes a dream client? Open to ideas, takes part in decisions and can make decisions, fun to work with! The reveal is for next monday the 20th, traveling to London on that day. Will do my best to be here!
