I've been so intrigued lately by wall art collections hung randomly. I'm sure much of it has to do with my vintage art collection I've been working on over the past few months. I've been fine tuning my living room, kitchen, and foyer re-decorating project, and getting ready to hang art on newly painted walls. I find myself inspired by the random order of hanging a variety of art.

Love this arrangement, with the mix of old photos, sconces and the injection of color in the blue and white oval platter. Wonderful!

A great example of mixing modern and antique. The white walls give it the neutral needed so that shapes and tones can connect.

I really like the idea of surrounding a dresser or table with art, coming out over and down the sides, instead of hanging art only a piece or two above the dresser.

This mix is so interesting. Some pieces framed, others are without frames and tacked on the wall, and that bust plaque! I've got to find one of those.

Mixing art dimensionally. Those doors are pretty stunning too!

The next three pictures are of the same space at different angles. The walls are basically filled, using framed art - some with glass, some without, plates, silhouettes, large and small art, and a variety of subjects. What is otherwise a bland, narrow, architecturally nondescript entry hall, becomes a feast for the eyes! Brilliant.

There have certainly been many blog posts about Schumaker's Chiang Mai Dragon wallpapers and fabrics. I've been thinking about collecting pictures for a post for a while now. A close friend of mine loves, loves this pattern. We always find ourselves dreaming up ways to use it in her home. Chiang Mai Dragon has endless possibilities.

A classic with the solid upholstered headboard.

These upholstered headboards were created for a child's room. Click onto source link below to read the whole story.

Check out the Chiang Mai Dragon upholstered headboard and footboard by Sarah Richardson.

Love the long curtain panels at the top of these stairs.

This photo was originally for Country Living Magazine. This wing chair, upholstered in Chiang Mai Dragon has to be my favorite application. Along with the wonderful taupe walls, and warm orange red doors, this print just plays so well.

Wonderful as a pillow.

More Chiang Mai accent pillows.

Shop here at Etsy to purchase these pillows.

What chair doesn't look fabulous wrapped in this print??

Seems that upholstered headboards beat out most other style beds lately. But, how about the four poster bed?
(source)
What to use for bed linens? What mixes well with an antique or traditional bed? What keeps it from feeling fuddy-duddy? (yes, I looked up fuddy duddy...)
(source)
The crisp, white bed linens lets the wood bed stand on its own. Keeps the lines neat and clean. The bed becomes a silhouette.
How about a faux fur at the foot of the bed? Just a hint of animal print on the lumbar pillow.
(source)
The striped rug feels fresh in this space, relaxing the room. Certainly an ornate bed, but is surrounded by more simple decor. The curtain rods and window treatments are plain. No art hung above the bed. Relaxed colors.
(source)
Love these rustic, high trunks. Wonderful, antique, barley twist four poster.
(source)
Convex, round mirror helps break up all the straight, formal lines.
(source)
Four poster doesn't always mean canopy, but love the mix of formal with the check duvet cover. Very classic.
(source)
A more modern take on the canopy. Grasscloth wall, cowhide rug, and linen shades along with the geometric bedskirt and canopy top, keeps it kicked back and relaxed.

Absolutely love the bird print arrangement. Mixed with the pink pillows and coverlet at the foot of the bed, this room doesn't feel like a hunting lodge. More whimsical. Great mix.
(source)
A metal, four poster with side panels, a play on the four poster bed. I pulled this picture for the bedding inspiration, and love the art arrangement on either side as well.

The turned posts of these four poster beds seem inherently modern with their unusual lines. Painted black, they really stand on their own and mix well with an eclectic collection of lighting and accessories.
(source)
What an amazing bed. Simple white bed linens mix so well. Unframed art sits beautifully with the ornate posts.
