Walls of Pictures, Frames and Things

type

books and magazines in the photo

cross

antlers

close placement of the frames

use of negative space

images within the frames

sepia tone

drawings and paintings and demential objects

the giant tea cup with plants

above three images from Emmas Design Blogg

dark wall with smalls hanging

antlers to the left with wrappings

stack of books next to the bed

tree branch

spacing between items

the small shelf at the back of the desk

stack of magazines under the desk

the legs of the desk; tall and slim with a touch of metal

above two photos from an article on design sponge about nikole herriott and the company herriott grace

This isn't so much a wall as a shelf, but I like the combination of items.

image from Skona Hem

pages mounted on the wall

empty frame to the right with something hanging inside the space

Sibella aways nails it

you can't go wrong with hats in my world

the above two the work of Sibella Court 

Don't know if this is a shop or a home, but great hanger with the fabric, a large botanical illustration, a hanging shelf that looks like it it full of turtle shells and then the colors of white, kakhi, brown, gray all make this image a winner.

beautiful photo

everything looks perfect

the platter above the sink

the wall lamps with those shades...

metal buckets with flowers

it's a mud room so that make this a keeper

great idea using the wallpaper from the right hand wall as the background for two of the images

unexpected to see contact sheets mounted

the mirror

photos and drawings

the chair

the bird feather mounted on the wall

(we found a large hawk feather on the street two days ago when we started walking the dogs, not it will be mounted on the wall rather than put in a container)

above five images Seen and Said tumblr

Reflections from the Saints

Anxiety proceeds from an ill-regulated desire to be delivered from the evil we experience, or to acquire the good to which we aspire; nevertheless, nothing aggravates evil and hinders good so much as anxiety and worry.

– St. Francis de Sales

Paper Sculptures by Stephen Doyle

"The Professors House"

"The first paper sculpture I did, around 2001, was The Professor’s House, by Willa Cather, where I took out each page and cut out every line, and glued each line to the next one and made a sculpture that is cubic — except I was using lines of text instead of pieces of wood or metal or whatever." S.D.

I first came upon the paper sculptures of Stephen Doyle in an article about him in Graphis. Stephen is married to Gail Towey who is the chief creating officer for Martha Stewart.

"The Trouble with Geninuses"

This piece reminds me of "Stairs" by Ren Jansma with folding the paper for steps.

From Sight Unseen.
