Reader's Rooms: Framed Charles Harper Prints

081508aCharles-Harper-Litho.jpgRob just got in touch with AT: We just had our collection of Charley Harper prints hung last night by Martin from April Sevens (custom framing). They did such an amazing job we wanted to share! We wholeheartedly agree. Aside from the fantastic prints themselves, we love them hung against the branch wallpaper - and the room in general is warm and inviting, while still fun. More images below:

I'm confused. Rob hired a person to go to his house and hang his pictures for him? Am I the only person who thinks this is weird? (Unless Rob is disabled in some way, in which case, of course, it's not weird at all.)

JoanneM: just clarified in the post that April Sevens is a custom framing source.

Looks great - love the prints with the wallpaper. That couch is sweet - it looks like it's a mile long!

Adore the wallpaper/prints arrangement! I also love that you have a pair of narrow, tall lamps on either side of the sofa - works well with the wallpaper.

Yes, please, what they said - who makes the wallpaper (it is great)? I'd like some with sage-colored trees.

I'd pay someone to put up that arrangement in my house. A professional would be less likely to put a few dozen unwelcome holes in my pretty new wallpaper....

I love this room. The Harper prints are the icing on the cake to what looks to be an already fabulous arrangement.

Charming combination of prints and wallpaper. I take back everything I've said about being tired of bird decor and tree motifs on walls.

Thank you all, I am so happy that you like it. The trees on the wall behind the Harper Silkscreens are acutally painted on the wall. My partner Jason did it. He saw a card that had the images of those trees on it, blew it up a bit, printed it out on transparency paper and projected it on the wall with a overhead projector traced it out and then painted it. It was a bit time consuming, but overall pretty simple. I found the overhead projector at a Thrift Store for around $20.00.

The trees (and birds) look great. I like this simplified version much better than that birch wallpaper that's everywhere these days.

Is it just me, or is that the longest couch ever?
