Arranging Accessories + Art

"Before" image of bureau/desk in living room - photo styling - residence - Edina, Minnesota.

"After" image of same bureau.  Same wall.  Different accessories found around the home.  Proportions are better.  Art doesn't argue with the bureau (like the former oversized art) but rather bows out of respect to the case good piece (think hierarchical).  Now the accessories tell a story - where before the accessories were out of control.  Even the wall seems to welcome the changes - as if sighing in relief to the new order of things.  New wall color - Benjamin Moore - Waterbury Cream - HC - 31

Sophisticated Victorian Farmhouse Update

Queen Anne/Victorian Farmhouse - St. Paul - Minnesota.  Entry Hall "Before".  Photography by +Danielle Gernes.  GernesPhotography.com.

Entry Hall - "After".  Relocated upright piano to another room. Edited the artwork to create movement diagonally across the space.  Added a lovely entry hall table under the stair and a chair under the art.  The furnishings suggest a pause, a place to welcome and wish farewell.  Entry spaces have a strong presence of people because of the heightened emotions of them coming and going.
