i'll have mine straight up...





i don't know what it is but my husband totally got it right last night when he said "you hate things on the diagonal". it's true, i am not a diagonal kind of girl. another revelation i have discovered is that i like balance and repetition. i think it makes a room feel unified. these rooms are perfect examples of just that....
suzanne kasler's room looks so well unified between the color coordination of the books with the frames and the balance of height b/w the bookshelf and the arrangement of the pictures above the chest. barrie benson achieved a gorgeous room w/ the awesome way she displayed this Hermes plate collection above the two leather club chairs. and lastly, this dining room by tom scheerer is just perfection. the repetition of the circular mirrors above the white unconventional wall shelves is so pleasing to my eye. it's strange, i am not a black and white kind of girl but straight on, balanced designs are quickly becoming my cup of tea.

i would totally agree with you shannon! straight up it is! diagonal is B-A-D design! :)

our home vertically is a maze of octagons and random layouts, so i love balance and repitition too. it grounds our rooms too.
that wall of hermes plates is so decadent. i love that china pattern with all of my heart.

Does it bother anyone else that those Hermes plates are all crooked? Everytime I see this photo I want to straighten them. I think this MUST have been an oversight on Barrie's part and the photographer must have been snoozin'!

I am right there with you on this. Especially when it comes to things like kitchen design. My bloog pressure goes up whenever I see angled kitchen islands. Nothing screams 70-80's like an angled kitchen.
