how to display art - lesson 1 from velvet and linen.

Displaying drawings or paintings of nudes can be tricky.
Fellow blogger Brooke from Velvet and Linen HERE does it just right!

Her husband Steve is the artist of the drawings she hangs perfectly in their beautifully designed home.

She also used this fabulous flea market painting in their living room. .

The collection of Steve's drawings in the master bedroom are so romantic.

We love the drawings hung on the book shelf in their library.


Brooke purchased an antique drawing of a reclining nude from us when she and Steve visited New Orleans some months ago.

Inspired by Brooke and Steve from Velvet and Linen
Nude displayed on an antique Swedish secretary at perch . in New Orleans

It's been very hard to replace! We finally have a few very pretty paintings in the shop now.

You can also see them in the art section on our web site perch-home.
