Art snobs don't struggle with getting this kind of work, it's the uneducated, small-thinking masses who more interested in whether something will match their sofa or clash with their TV that seem to take issue.

This is one of my favorites!!! We make ginger syrup at home for ginger sodas! Tequila and some lime make it extra delicious! I like to think of it as a variation of a Moscow Mule! Maybe a Texican Mule?

Oh, god, the before was fantastic and interesting and a great design.

Yes, can we please talk about the art? Is that a massive Chamberlain in the dining area?

These aren't vegan. There's milk and chocolate made with milk and cream cheese. My vegan friends would LOVE to eat these and these recipes seem very promising and delicious, but, unfortunately, are not vegan. Thank goodness I'm an omnivore.

Oops...that should read: "As recent transplants..."

As a gallerist, I have overseen the hanging of work both in a gallery setting and in private homes and I strongly object to examples 1 & 2 of "unorthodox" hanging methods. I understand the context of this post regards decorating with art, but if you're actually bothering to collect work, and it doesn't matter if it's a $200 painting from a grad student or a $2M blue chip artist, it's a disservice to the artist/yourself/your home to hang a piece poorly. 1 is an impractical method of hanging if the door is going to see any kind of use. There's also no hard, fast rule about not hanging work that's too big on a wall that's too small. It's simply counter-intuitive and, again, there are concerns regarding practicality as the works can potentially be knocked off the wall by passers-by. If the work is dramatic and sculptural, sure, it makes sense to put on oversized piece on an undersized wall. However, the example provided looks like someone hung paintings/drawings that were too big for that wall because it matched the room/the chairs. The only reason to ever consider hanging work like that is if it happens to be a last resort because every inch of your wallspace is already covered with a piece of art. (Also, it's fairly conventional to lean things or hang work salon-style.)

...but good for the owner for embracing that look.

Hahahaaa!!! I'm planning on going home this weekend to drop off some stuff...and giant paintings I have no room for... I love my parents... Admittedly, I do need to edit my stuff. Seriously.

Pretty!!! Vernon has the mad skillz!!
