Bored with Bland?
Lately we are hearing the same thing from gallery customers. "We just finished remodeling, its all shades of gray and white and it's... nice... but we need some color!" Is your monochromatic space feeling a little bland? It's a common problem. People see the rooms that are on trend right now and think: "That's what I need! I need to feel relaxed and less stressed.

Artwork Lighting
We often get asked how to properly light our artwork. When artwork is lit well, it becomes the focal point of the room and can look lit from within.

Spread of light: Cross directional lights mean wider spread of light, less hot spots, more even coverage. Once you have determined the distance from the art to install your lights, you need to determine how...
Surround Yourself With Things That You Love
In the design world, often bigger is better. Personally, I have always had a house that was full and my passion was organizing everything so that it stayed in it's place. So when the KonMari method kept popping up in conversation and online, I shuddered. For some of us, minimalism is uncomfortable.

It isn't about minimalism after all. 27"x40" "Blue Sky Palms" Wrapped Canvas Print Marie Kondo believes that if we simply sort through our belongings and only hold...
