Make your house a H O M E

One of my biggest rules when moving in or moving out of a home is a rule for the pictures or images that are hung in my home.

I think that I lost count of the number of times I have packed and unpacked boxes for moving quite literally across the street, across town, to a new town or a new state.  At one time I had an accurate count of 18 times before the age of 30.  Almost twice that age I have realized there is a true science to the process of moving when it comes to mindset.  

Let's face it, there are a few things that you just do as the Last thing or the First thing and that is hang your pictures or take them down, whichever the case may be.  

So let me explain.  When I am getting in the zone to move and tear down what I have worked at creating a homey space, a space that I just love to see as more than a home, but a place of safety and familiarity. Pictures are the final touch and also the first to come down.  The image has a place that it belongs to bring everything together and gives that vibe you are looking for.  So the art in the room is the final piece that goes up.  See...?

For Photography my landscapes are more than just something I take a photo of, in my head, I try to see what room they would look best in. I look at the colors of the moment also.  What frame would be the best to showcase this image, or would it look better as a metal?  Does my client or customer live in a beach house or a penthouse?  What room, living room, bedroom, Man Cave, or Powder room?
