The Decorator Archives

The Decorator Archives has now launched its website. This will be your "go to" source for the highest quality fine art and prints. They sell both original art and giclees. The collections are meticulously selected by interior designers and are available only online.

The curators of these collections have been in the interior design business for over thirty five years specializing in decorative sets of art and prints, especially large scale art, as well as murals. The collection of Chinoiserie is incredible, but they also have collections of animals, architecture, botanicals, modern, people, and many others. You will always find their link in my sidebar. New pieces are added virtually daily, so check back often.

Prints start at $29.00. You will find everything from single prints up to 5 panel murals 15' wide by 8' high. I know that many of us thought that Chinoiserie art, panels, and murals were only for the very rich and just a dream for the rest of us. Well, stop dreaming and make it happen with this wonderful source. Here is a recent post of mine with a gallery of rooms with framed Chinoiserie panels. I will now spend the rest of my morning pouring over all these stunning choices. Over and out.

Before and After???

I am always intrigued when I find different photos of the same room. In Aerin Lauder's dressing room above and below, we can see that there have been big changes in the chandelier and furniture. But what fascinates me is that the silk taffeta curtains and Gracie wallpaper above are decidedly green, while the same curtains and wallpaper below are a pale blue/green. Is this just a matter of different lighting or has it been photoshopped? Quite interesting, right?
