Picture Perfect







I love the way all these painting and drawings have been arranged.  By creating mini galleries, the artwork has turned lovely rooms into fabulous rooms!

  5. It's such a great look! A big part of my job is hanging exhibitions and it's funny as I have a lot of wall space at home and have hung only a couple of pics! I would like to do a busy wall like one of these though.

  12. Hi Leigh
    This is my favourite way to display art... always looks so effective.. now only if the landlord would let me put a million hooks on the wall...

  14. I, too, love these salon style groupings of artwork. And, although they often look like they're collected and added to over time, I think they're incredibly hard to pull off successfully.

  15. Love the first three photos, then the fourth looks so timid! All the pictures huddled together...
    The cushions are on their best behaviour too. This room needs a dog!

  17. I adore a good gallery wall and I am a big believer that mixing art and photos along with other momentos is what makes one special! Love the last on in particular. Lots there without being overpowering. Marija

  18. Oh how I love a wall covered in pictures or photographs. I love it when all the frames are different, or all the same...if you know what I mean Leigh !!!!

  19. Gorgeous selection Leigh - I had not seen most of these photos before - you always find such fresh pictures. Love the first one.

  20. So beautiful! I love studying framed pictures! It's like a glimpse into the history of another person's life.

    Groupings are another favorite of mine and your photos show the subtle effect of linear groupings and the profound effect of random order...so interesting...and beautiful.

    I love visiting your blog...always a new perspective, vivid as real life, punctuated with your sense of style and oh so dreamy...your blog has become my new "Wish Book"!

    Thank you again and again!

    XO

  26. I like those picture walls. It's a look I have to go for; we have so much art and vintage signs on the walls aready that at some point I have to start rearranging them in groups.

  27. My problem is I never know where to start...any suggestions on how to hang that first picture?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Howdy Leigh~ more gorgeous images and I thank you for these...they make me feel less inadequate that my six botanicals aren't hanging evenly! Ha.
