Nelly Vintage Homes: art

As a follow up to yesterday's post, I thought it would be interesting to look at art in some less traditional places. The design world loves to hang art in kitchens and baths and even some closets but not sure if everyone else is on board with it. I certainly would be careful not to hang any priceless works of art in a steamy bathroom or anything to close to the stove without glass but why not prop a painting up on a shelf of glasses. As an avid collector, I'm always looking for anyplace left to display art and I might start on the closet next.

Art on doors is a great idea when you've completely run out of room!

I ran into Terron Schaefer, the Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer for Saks Fifth Avenue, at the Five Year Anniversary party for the WSJ.Magazine during fashion week. He said he was thinking of me because he need inspiration for his new apartment. As you might have seen from my book where his office was featured, he has a large collection of photography and art that he wants to display it gallery style on two walls. Instead of sending him photos or directing him to my Pinterest page, I figured why not share my suggestions with you all. While I've posted gallery walls here and there, I haven't devoted an entire post to them since 2011. You can see it here. It also gives me an excuse to post a photo of the new Edition Hotel by Ian Schrager that just opened in London, above. They've got their own fabulous gallery wall of painting.
