Vintage chairs are a particular weakness of mine, so I could not pass up this unique design challenge!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I selected an elegant <a href="https://www.chairish.com/product/40954/vintage-slipper-chair-in-yellow-velvet">vintage slipper chair</a> in yellow velvet as my inspiration, then paired it with equally bright new pieces from <a href="http://www.bassettfurniture.com/">Bassett Furniture</a> that had a classic or vintage feel to them. An over-dyed Persian style carpet, a Robert Allen watercolor-like fabric, and an abstract knife gel giclee combine for a rich and colorful palette. The large scale upholstered bed adds visual balance to the space by remaining neutral in color.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Often times I am working with clients who want to incorporate a much loved piece, like a vintage chair, into their plans for a renovated room. The key is to make all the pieces, old and new, look as if they are speaking the same language. Repeating the shape of a leg, duplicating the finish color, or choosing pieces that seem to be from a similar time period, helps to bridge the gap from the past to the present. Including a modern twist, like these deeply saturated colors, keeps the space looking fresh.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you are looking to add some lively pieces with vintage patina to your newly designed spaces, check out the <a href="https://www.chairish.com/collection/decorative-objects">decorative objects</a> that are also available via the Chairish site ... </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTkxgnyk_fB_GLA0b_hd55_1sW4yf75q9vjtn5JjfCBKptPslmq16sMkLjSKKyMvbodiqCDbIie1WNEFtB4El792ubEfAvtLM6oyG28BZthudRUmXEsV3_MtQbAQMwpekoRwhBiTomd2C7/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-09-29+at+10.36.08+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="227" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTkxgnyk_fB_GLA0b_hd55_1sW4yf75q9vjtn5JjfCBKptPslmq16sMkLjSKKyMvbodiqCDbIie1WNEFtB4El792ubEfAvtLM6oyG28BZthudRUmXEsV3_MtQbAQMwpekoRwhBiTomd2C7/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-09-29+at+10.36.08+PM.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.chairish.com/product/40918/vintage-fretwork-green-wooden-tray">Vintage Fretwork Green Wooden Tray</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL5zIuKH5PvcUo9N6_NuQD9IriszCQafGtan2-_6N9PorFy4WUOdFwLv2IIO80dcrPotcbwBceujZuZCRHaYwYqqaXpB63p1uYJQ_j8F3kNgnylcX3dy0lEvYHodnGPsY4ZU724J-Jym31/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-09-29+at+10.49.35+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL5zIuKH5PvcUo9N6_NuQD9IriszCQafGtan2-_6N9PorFy4WUOdFwLv2IIO80dcrPotcbwBceujZuZCRHaYwYqqaXpB63p1uYJQ_j8F3kNgnylcX3dy0lEvYHodnGPsY4ZU724J-Jym31/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-09-29+at+10.49.35+PM.png" width="161" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.chairish.com/product/41064/mercury-glass-candlestick">Mercury Glass Candlestick</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2PCa9pNLFKPaTWn_SY6cxBL-1NK_8rKs1s3n_cFujb0f_L2xNo9qgMvzVRzxySOHFtr42YP7icNy0xx0wwIqNaBNiB_UGxxPcaNQqJ0xgUEs2MbOyblURv3qSb2qwjDC6tENb2tdqtbTR/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-09-29+at+11.06.46+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="157" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2PCa9pNLFKPaTWn_SY6cxBL-1NK_8rKs1s3n_cFujb0f_L2xNo9qgMvzVRzxySOHFtr42YP7icNy0xx0wwIqNaBNiB_UGxxPcaNQqJ0xgUEs2MbOyblURv3qSb2qwjDC6tENb2tdqtbTR/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-09-29+at+11.06.46+PM.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.chairish.com/product/42639/bone-china-white-swans">Bone China White Swans</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>

The fear of leaving a trail of swiss cheese holes on freshly painted walls while looking for the perfect spot to position artwork or framed photography prevents many people from even starting their wall styling projects. I have even seen some people just use the “well the nail was there so that is where I hung it</span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;">”</span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;"> method of art installation which often results in art hanging without any relationship to the layout of the room.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidpbE9MKfHnVycOJ2Bp_g8x8cjIPl8sNE5jq9EsDHpEDsU1_rjkRGFbIbo2xnBL0Dan9k-HXVmeuR6RJAKeI60LzctkwZ0lbaQ7OUKG4jTyoPVFyh4rww7SXWvr1rTB6cuYxMbrI_hqgoo/s1600/proportioned+art.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidpbE9MKfHnVycOJ2Bp_g8x8cjIPl8sNE5jq9EsDHpEDsU1_rjkRGFbIbo2xnBL0Dan9k-HXVmeuR6RJAKeI60LzctkwZ0lbaQ7OUKG4jTyoPVFyh4rww7SXWvr1rTB6cuYxMbrI_hqgoo/s1600/proportioned+art.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><b><span style="font-size: large;">Getting it Right with Scale and Proportion</span></b><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">The best way to determine where to hang a piece of art is to anchor it with a piece of furniture below it. The piece below should be the same size or wider. If the anchor piece is smaller, it will appear as if the art above is teetering precariously over it.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4y7mV-VPtpvjOh-58w-9qc1sf9WLy430Lzq0GvMIHJlsfsKV20pB8iYJXh7K_7-SUmSAwSxXMJ4YVDUdZOxuyt61i67kt5z9wR72HrtFbcPs_PaBEPXBprDjGojorV6q64gdhSvvSIxc9/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-06-02+at+2.44.15+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4y7mV-VPtpvjOh-58w-9qc1sf9WLy430Lzq0GvMIHJlsfsKV20pB8iYJXh7K_7-SUmSAwSxXMJ4YVDUdZOxuyt61i67kt5z9wR72HrtFbcPs_PaBEPXBprDjGojorV6q64gdhSvvSIxc9/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-06-02+at+2.44.15+PM.png" width="480" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Don’t make the mistake of hanging your artwork too high. When people think of eye-level, they are usually hanging it higher than it should be. Try to keep the work of art close to the furniture piece below it instead of floating it so far above it that it does not seem like the two pieces go together.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Keep your desired focal point in mind. An eye-catching piece of artwork on every wall in the room will create visual chaos. It is better to select one main star and include supporting pieces that don’t fight for attention. Intentionally leave a wall free from art for a bit of breathing room.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin2_q_tHaXmXC-Zf_C5kkUO6AIXt5LkLTW9mCVa4x1GSqIflW3POCtj6PXyYcFcUJDqb7mpHQq7-ObBOuMUsYNmeeglA4tsCJMhXkh6YZxu3x98Gs7-2ysdFZlBgIsSkZpB1xjcvRrFtX8/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-06-02+at+3.07.55+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin2_q_tHaXmXC-Zf_C5kkUO6AIXt5LkLTW9mCVa4x1GSqIflW3POCtj6PXyYcFcUJDqb7mpHQq7-ObBOuMUsYNmeeglA4tsCJMhXkh6YZxu3x98Gs7-2ysdFZlBgIsSkZpB1xjcvRrFtX8/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-06-02+at+3.07.55+PM.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">Gallery Walls</span></b><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">When creating a gallery wall consider using the same type of frame on each piece for a cohesive look. Varying mat sizes can keep the arrangement interesting. Another approach is to completely mix it up by using an eclectic combination of frame styles. Vintage and modern frames of different finishes can co-exist nicely if grouped together in a confident manner.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Tracing the shape of a frame onto a piece of brown kraft paper then hanging this one dimensional template on the wall with the help of removable tape is a good way to establish where to hammer in the first nail.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Whether you are installing one, a few, or many works of art, step back to view its placement in relationship to the other items in the room before you commit to the arrangement’</span><span style="font-size: large;">s final position on the wall.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Special Challenges and Considerations</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Wall surfaces that feature fireplace bricks or architectural curves present structural challenges as do older walls without predictable stud placement. Likewise, after investing in custom murals or expensive wallpapers or grass cloth, the fear of making a mistake is intensified. When face to face with these challenges, it’s easy to see why many choose to avoid hanging art all together.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjda46i8X5GzWrbFhoDx0GrpKlq6CUKZIzhG3JDLgCiyfQxmzogHkD150-GDwQMNLGM2EPEM2RXaALM3jRVvp4LrYfX6Tuv4scEBzNfqo8IQI3WTK4_zhU5wvT0vmQ6Kb9-3LfEN5ksyI-I/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-06-09+at+5.00.54+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjda46i8X5GzWrbFhoDx0GrpKlq6CUKZIzhG3JDLgCiyfQxmzogHkD150-GDwQMNLGM2EPEM2RXaALM3jRVvp4LrYfX6Tuv4scEBzNfqo8IQI3WTK4_zhU5wvT0vmQ6Kb9-3LfEN5ksyI-I/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-06-09+at+5.00.54+PM.png" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Traditional picture rail moldings that are installed close to ceiling height are a great way to hang art without damaging walls.

This year, I was inspired by the watercolor above painted by Anne Rogers. To me, the simple landscape was beautiful.

After designing The Lounge, Powder Room and Hallway for the Holiday Show House in December, it was a special treat to be able to return to re-style the rooms for spring. </span><span style="font-size: large;">This time around I brought select pieces from the Bassett Furniture Design Studio to infuse my traditional spaces with a modern freshness.</span></div><div class="p1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="p1"><span style="font-size: large;">Below are links to the art, custom upholstery, pillows, and accent pieces that I had on display along with the other elements from the holiday show that are now a permanent part of each room. If you would like to see any of these spring accessories in person, stop by the <a href="http://www.bassettfurniture.com/tools/designer-listing.asp?st=2038">Burlington Bassett</a> location on Middlesex Turnpike. Let me know if you are planning a visit and I will set aside time to give you a studio tour. And if you are looking for a pretty spot to host your next event, contact Heather King at <a href="http://www.glenmagnafarms.org/index.html">Glen Magna Farms</a> to see the lovely rooms of this historical mansion in person. The gardens are beautiful in the spring!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
