ASK GEN: So Much Art Work

Ask Gen, Genevieve 179 Comments

Dear Genevieve:

My partner and I bought a home in May 2005 and have been renovating ever since. We are collectors, and love to go to auctions. We have wonderful engravings and a few oils. We have a mountain of art work to hang on the walls and do not know where to begin. Most of the art is antique, so the question becomes what room is best for what piece of art – some of it is very good. The problem is compounded by the fact that there is wallpaper in all the rooms and halls. We did the dining room in Candace Olsen papers with silk drapes and sheers. The room is fantastic, but now how do we decide what do we hang on the walls. We hope that you will have some suggestions for us. I can of course have some photos taken to send you of the rooms if you wish.

Best regards, Michael & Bob

ASK GEN: Rabbit Kitchen Knobs

Ask Gen, Genevieve 63 Comments

Hi Gen,
I am a big fan of Dear Genevieve as well as your new show Design Star. I recently saw an episode HDGEN-309 that was A Galley Kitchen Gets a Modern Cottage Makeover. You showed the couple three green knobs and they picked the rabbit one for their kitchen cabinets. Are these something that can be found. I really was attracted to all of them, but I have to admit I have a thing for rabbits too. Thanks for any help with this request. I have been looking on line to no avail. Laurie Hodson
