Even though I am not generating a lot of comments, I am seeing evidence other than my web stats that Design Strategies is being read.  Today my client pointed to her arrangement of art and said, “I know you hate staggered pictures.”  Which was a little surprising to me, since we had just met face to face about 10 minutes earlier. 

Well, I am not so terrible of a person to begin to tell a brand new client what was wrong with her home, and I really didn’t need to.  I hope I assured her that although the art was staggered, the GROUP, when viewed as a whole, was not. 

Notice in the photo I took: the sconce determines the placement.  The art is hung in accordance, and the lamp shade actually serves to balance the three objects and create a unified square.  Notice here how I have framed it out.
