layered look


i love the look of layering a modern piece of art
in front of an empty antique frame
 or propped against a hanging mirror
 also a favorite of mine, hung on a bookshelf
what do you think of these non-traditional ways to display art?

  1. I love all of them. Particularly the one with the empty frame. Very chic. Layerig always makes a space look lived in and collected over time. Great image finds! (And can we also talk about the ottoman with the horn legs!? FABULOUS!!)

  9. You can pull this off in your dinning room, it kind of reminds me of your dresser with the pic. on it. I love the 1st. pic.

  10. Ok, I like the first two a lot, but the bookshelf one has always bothered me a bit. I wouldn't mind if it sat on a shelf in the bookshelf.. but in front of it? I much prefer the empty frame idea!! (May have to try that)

  11. I'm all for it - it makes it easier to move them around when I change my mind (which is all the time)! :)
