The Surrey in New York was rejuvenated by Rottet Studio and has been named one of the best of the year by Interior Design Magazine. A wonderful example of using oversized artwork!
In the lobby there is a beautiful textural piece - notice how low it is hung in relationship with the furniture grouping.
Something unexpected! - an oversized photo of Kate Moss.
A little whimsy perhaps? A curvy Victorian sofa in contrast to the straight lined furniture in the room.
And do I spy a log stool from The Phillips Collection? Hmm, it certainly looks like it!

Tickle your Fancy
Purchasing new artwork for your home can seem like an intimidating experience - but you need not be frightened. Lighting, color, decor and the size of your room need to be taken into account, but otherwise, have fun! Mix it up with photography, sculpture or collages. Just remember to fill your wall space with pieces you love and you can't go wrong.

The aroma of sharpening pencils
The State Fair
Pilgrims & Indians
Thanksgiving
Overflowing cornucopia
Pheasants

Laughing and jumping into the pile of newly raked leaves
Colorful Pumpkins & Gourds
Halloween costumes
Beautiful shades of orange, red, yellow, gold and green

dESIGNtIP-Photography as Art
Want to have some fun decorating your home without breaking the bank after the holidays? An inexpensive way to create artwork for your home is to use your own photography. If you mat and frame it, you can have a gallery look that is easy on your budget. This is part of my "loving lilly pads" collection.

Paint by number
You can't turn on the television or the radio without Obama's stimulus plan being the hottest topic in the news, so this post is dedicated to the number as art.
Artist Jasper Johns
This dining room is designed by Richard Winsberg as was featured in California Homes. It features a series of number drawings by Jasper Johns. Jasper Johns is a great American contemporary artist. In doing a little research on him I discovered that at the age of 24 he destroyed all of his artwork and decided to "stop becoming, and to be an artist. " He realized that life should not just be inspiring sometimes. But instead, it is one's state of mind that perceives the purity and value of moment-to-moment life as variable. He doesn't express raw emotion inspired by experiences. He believes that only the existence of art on an impersonal level can create new experiences for the viewer..
Random Numbers
I love this bold kitchen with the number 16 having such visual impact. This was featured on Material Girl's post and is from Domino magazine. I don't think the kitchen would be the same without this bold number in the room. It seems to give it vitality and energy.
The living room is also from the same post- and just like Material Girl, I wonder- What is the significance of the numbers to the homeowner as they are visually agressive in the room's design.

This landing showcases the number series also. It was featured in a post by Mrs. Blandings and was designed by Mariette Himes Gomez and featured in Architectural Digest.

Art for Impact
Art can certainly make a large impact in a room. Here multiple contemporary art pieces are used in this traditionally furnished dining room.
Symmetrically hung artwork makes an impact as in this example of artwork in an entry way.
This really caught my eye- I love the coloring, but also love that the sofa is arranged under the artwork rather than the usual way - with the artwork balanced within the width of the sofa.
And last but not least-- One large impacting piece of art used in a small area.

Alice in Wonderland
Kristen Haseenfeld's Dans La Lune is on exhibit at the Rice University Art Gallery. She works in paper to make these amazing sculptures. She says she tries to create an imaginary place that relates to our longings for a better, grander existence. She calls it an "Alice in Wonderland" strategy.
This particular one reminded me of a music box. I can hear the music and see her twirling around and around.
I just love this swing with the beautiful leaves floating above.

The Downtown Art Scene
I attended the North 2nd Street Gallery Crawl. There was New Orleans Post Katrina Art by Adam Davenport & Brad Arender on display along with Edmund Williamson's spring and summer paintings, live music by Marty Christian and also featured artwork of Cullen Bordes, Lauren Bordes and Cher Bayles. Many beautiful pieces to add to your collection and make your home unique! Great Artwork and Music- It had that old New Orleans flavor.
Check out their sites and support local artists!
