Aren't these lovely? One of my favorite nature photographers, Byron Jorjorian, just came back from a trip to Michigan. The colors are spectacular and the scenes peaceful. I can almost smell the fresh air. I interviewed Byron for my blog a while ago and have featured him before because I have always loved his work. His photographs adorn some of my most enjoyable projects. Thanks for the view Byron!
There is something quite special about seeing New England in the Fall though the lens of master photographer, Byron Jorjorian.
Gorgeous! Just gorgeous.
Have you ever come across someone that seems to share the same values as you? I say 'seems' because I have never met Monica Rich Kosann but after finding her website via an ad in Elle Decor, I feel we share a value of family.
Why do I think that? Because of her product lines for carrying precious photos of your loved ones. I have looked long and hard to find an elegant way of carrying and wearing these mementos, in particular, of my daughter. I love the idea of a locket but none I found seemed chic... until now. Monica has gorgeous designs for carrying and wearing your special ones. Take a look...
The envelop ~ look how incredible this design is!
This past Timeless Tuesday, the writer of the blog Black Kat's Design joined the party. Kat showed us how to make this lovely paper wreath. Unfortunately, I am not much of a crafter. It did, however, remind me of a photographer that I have loved for years. I have three of his pieces in my dining room...
This is an old Christmas photo. That is his work ~ the two calla lilies and the tulip. His work post flowers has been very interesting to me. One of his creative projects was focused on light and folded paper. The results are quite remarkable. Take a look...
I think this series of his is quite fantastic. I love the geometric forms and angles of some and the curves and fluidity of others. The way he captured light is wonderful. All this from paper and light ~ amazing. Who is he?? Andrew Sovjani. As you may know, I love art. Photography is one of the mediums I enjoy a lot... A LOT! Check out Andrew's work ~ you won't be disappointed.
You may recall my interview with Byron Jorjorian, the wonderful nature photographer. I featured some of his work too. He sent out this lovely holiday photo to wish season's greetings. Isn't it beautiful?! I also noticed that he now has his very own blog. It was in the making when I interviewed him. How wonderful! Now I can keep up to date with Byron. I so enjoy his photography. I am imagining a wall of his work depicting all the seasons.....
Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. 
I thought we would deviate for a day from balance and look at some different options for displaying photographs or art work. I always receive informational emails on products ~ lately I have receiving them on display systems and decided to take a look. I found some very interesting ones that I am considering.
I found a couple of companies that offer mechanism to hang art from cables (Nova Display, Inc. & AS Hanging Systems). Suspension systems. I really like the idea as art and photos may be changed out easily and the industrial look appeals to me. Plus varying sizes may be hung together. I particularly enjoy the last system display. This system allows you to layer them and a similar system they offer allows one to move the pictures, rearrange them ~ swing them. Now that keeps things interesting.
They always have two sales a year on their black frames and I stock up! They comes in so many sizes ~ it is easy to create your own wall of art. If you need a little help, they sell that too!
West Elm has many lovely shelves to place photos and art on ~ what a clean look!
I love placing a wall of family photos in a family or living room. I have one of my daughter in my family room.
Yes, those frame are from Michael's!
I have had many framing projects over the years but this one takes the cake. I have clients that worked at NASA. They have wonderful memorabilia from their work there in the form of patches and intricate coins. They also have many college degrees and certifications between them. I asked them to get them all out for me ~ "we're finding them as home" ~ as clearly they were very special to them. I have the perfect place too! Their study. I enjoyed putting this together. It was like a very personal puzzle. First grouping and arranging the patches and coins. I wanted the frames to be the same size and very simple as the contents would be a fabulous story. Then I designed the wall arrangement. I used AutoCAD. This allowed me to give the drawing to my installers showing exact placement measurements to hang them. I laid them out for him....
Gave him the drawings and.....
