Parisian Salon Style Picture Grouping

My mom ( who is my partner in crime in design in almost every way) sent me this picture over the weekend of a salon style picture grouping.

Gorgy, non?




The Salon Style of hanging a group of pictures dates back to Paris in the 18th century. Every year, Paris hosted a grand art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. There was so much art, they literally had to hang them frame to frame or even overlapping. Imagine all the fabulous art!

This would be a great idea for the bare wall I have surround this new bureau that I just bought ( * note the pictures I have over it in the photo are no longer there). Updates to come!
