Just Featured on Houzz: Stacy Weiss' Art Filled Loft

Stacy Weiss was just looking for a rental while trying to find something new to renovate when she stumbled upon an open space with tall ceilings and whitewashed bricks in the rapidly developing East End neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The new space allowed her to carry over everything from her previous home and arrange it all in a new, more loft-friendly way. With tall ceilings and vast, white-painted expanses, Stacy created an eclectic gallery filled with vintage and contemporary art. Her carefully chosen pieces of vintage and modern furniture play well with the art and the overall look is unique and reflective of Stacy's taste and personality that is also evident at Weisshouse.

Neutral Decor With Pops of Color the Weissway

Neutral decor that includes large investment pieces thoughtfully chosen in warm earth tones or cool grays is always a wise investment. A well designed chair with great lines and bold color is a smart way to add interest to a muted palette. Bright artwork, accessories and pillows can also brighten a space beautifully. Check out a few of our favorite pops of color below.

Vintage Art: Something For Everyone

As interior designers, we often address the same concerns time and time again. Our clients have a difficult time selecting art for their homes. We love to help people choose the "right" art and it really helps to have a guide who has an eye for what will work well in any given space. However, a client's personal tastes, life experiences and reactions to the pieces must be considered. Just like selecting the right furniture for a client's home, scale is just as important as style. A large scale piece or painting can be used alone, above a fireplace or bed or above a dining table. In addition, a collection, when properly arranged is so interesting on a large wall. Check out a few of our favorite vintage pieces of art below and visit Weisshouse or www.weisshouse.com or our blogs from the past for even more tips on collecting and displaying art!

Your Comfy Nest: Part 1 - Planning

All Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams furniture, lighting and accessories are on sale now through May 5th. It's a great way to save up to 25% on your new favorite furnishings! In addition to the sale, Weisshouse is giving a free copy of "The Comfortable Home" book written by Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams. "The Comfortable Home" helps you get in touch with your wants and needs. It's an easy to follow approach to designing your home in a beautiful and comfortable way...

The first chapter is devoted to planning. According to the book, "...planning begins with thinking about how you live and what changes could be made to your home to make your life run more smoothly. Then you need to figure out how to make these changes, affordably and in a style that feels natural to you." We couldn't have said it better ourselves! Another great tip is to ask yourself this question: What's the first thing you want people to see when they enter the room? Some things we love to see when we walk into a room are art, a statement piece of furniture like a great chair in a bold fabric or a perfectly made bed framed by eye catching nightstands or bedside tables. Check out the photos below for some items (all available @ Weisshouse) that YOU may want people to see when they first enter a room in your home and check back tomorrow for Part 2 of this blog series. Finally, don't forget to follow us on Facebook for even more design news and tips!
