Whose Closet is This?

I love this!! Custom picture framing featured in a closet? Wait, you say, I don't see any frames at all. Well, look carefully because there are no less than four custom framed elements. The first is to the left of the red boxes. The second is the Univeristy of Texas at Austin diploma behind the face. The third is a Saturday Evening Post cover behind the window. The fourth is in a gold frame above the ties on the right.

I must say that I don't go peeking around in other people's closets but this is making me curious. Are there other designers or architects incorporating these elements for their clients that I don't know about? Do you have framing in your closet?

This is a fabulous idea for clients who may be transitioning from framed prints to original art. Maybe you have pieces that you framed in college or when you were first starting out. You still love them but are looking to start buying original art or maybe just update your look. Why not move the older pieces into the closet where you can still enjoy them and at the same time, make room for some new pieces that speak to who you are today!

Thanks to Jeffery Povero of Povero and Co. and Met Home for this great idea!
