Ask Casa: Framing Fine Photography
Hi Casa,
I am adding, for the first time ever, fine photography to my apartment. However I am at a loss when it comes to framing styles and arrangement.
One set of four photographs is horizontally-oriented and black-and-white.
Casa Quickie: Lean Back
I've talked a bit in the past about various ways you can hang art in your home. But that's not the only solution to your home gallery woes. As you can see, leaning artwork against a wall can be as gorgeous as hanging it at eye level.
Casa Quickie: Hang It Diagonally
It's a dream to curate a personal collection of original art, but it's not always in the budget. Sometimes, though, just the frame you use to hang something or the way it's hung is visually intriguing enough that what's behind the glass is of little consequence. Artists, designers, and art directors Jonathan and Annie Zawada made the most of a simple drawing by hanging it diagonally in their Sydney home, photographed by Todd Selby.
Ask Casa: Help Me Choose Paint Colors
Hi Casa,
My boyfriend and I are about to move into our first house and I couldn't be happier! I can't wait to get in there and start putting our touch on things! The only problem is that I am having a tough time picking a paint color for the living room.
Ask Casa: Hanging Artwork on Brick Walls
Hi CasaSugar,
I was wondering if you have ever done a post about how to hang photos on an exposed brick wall. I did a search, but I may have missed it. I want to find good directions before I just start hacking away with my hammer.
How-To: Decorate on the Cheap With Pretty Plates
If your budget is a little tight right now for wall art including painting, prints, or simply getting that favorite photo properly framed and matted, relax: there's another inexpensive option for dressing your walls with style and flair. Beautiful, graphic plates can look just as stunning as an expensive painting when they're displayed well. Check out some of my favorite plate displays, as well as tips on getting the look.
Do You Have Any Plates Hanging at Your Home?
I love the effect of a carefully arranged grouping of plates. Depending on how you execute it, it can look either wildly modern or downright traditional. Either way, it's a lovely way to decorate your walls.
Casa Quickie: Hanging Frames Within a Box
Hanging artwork salon style is too chaotic for some decorators. But, that doesn't mean you have to resort to leveling frames side by side. Instead, you can mix up the size and shape of your frames, but frame them within a box.
Ask Casa: Post-Grad Style
Hi Casa! I'm 22 and I just started my first job out of college. Unfortunately, I still live with my parents.
Casa Quickie: Fasten With Ribbon For Extra Sweetness
This photo from phenomenal cake shop Miette in San Francisco features a delicious detail: hanging framed pictures from ribbons. I've seen this technique employed at another local sweet shop in the Bay Area, so I wonder if there's a connection between satin and sugar. Whether or not you serve cake at your own casa, adding ribbons to your framed artwork will sweeten up your home base.
