    Need help picking which print to hang on your wall? Say hola to virtual design sessions!

    #FelizFriday Design Tips

    Sometimes you just need a little help from a friend. Especially while picking out artwork to hang in your home or to gift a loved one.

    So if you’re stumped on which print from The Sunset Shop you’d like to gift next week for Val/Galentine’s Day(or to gift to yourself!), say hola to your new design friend - me(!) - and my new virtual design sessions!

    Virtual design session? 
    What’s that you ask?

    By sending me a quick photo of the space that you’d like to hang your print, we can work together to pick out your favorite sunset or beach print from The Sunset Shop!
     

    • I’ll suggest the best sizes, framing options, and provide you mockups of print options hanging in your space so you can visualize the print in your home before you purchase!
       
    • And best of all, this virtual design session is 100% complimentary — because no one likes having buyers remorse!


    All you have to do is send me an email or message me on Instagram @sambatothesea! 

    Need a 'lil more convincing? Check out Marcy of @communitykitchenATL's virtual design session  experience!(And if you’re a foodie like me,I give you permission to take a little pause from this #FelizFriday and click NOW to check out Marcy’s mouth watering dishes via her Instagram!) 

    Investing in artwork can be overwhelming, especially trying to pick out artwork online. This was the first time I had ever bought artwork online (I usually shop and buy in person) and Kristen made the whole process of picking out a framed print to hang in my daughter Jackie’s bedroom for her birthday so easy! I knew which photo print I wanted to give to my daughter (as soon as Kristen released “Heaven”, I knew it was just perfect for Jackie — so breathtaking!), but needed help with picking the best print size to hang above her bed, as well as framing suggestions to go best with the print and her bedroom decor. In other words, I needed help! Kristen immediately offered to do a virtual design consult so I could visualize the finished framed print in Jackie’s room. I sent her a photo of my daughter’s room, and within hours she provided mockups of her room with two framed print options. Seeing the mockups was exactly what I needed to answer all my questions, and 100% re-assured me that the print was going to look amazing in her room -- I wanted the framed print to be the statement piece in her room! Kristen took into account every last detail that I didn’t even know to consider, from the paint color on her wall, the bedroom furniture + hardware style, bedding color, accent pillows, to the size of my daughter’s bed frame and how much space there was from the headboard to the ceiling. Hands down, I couldn’t recommend buying one of Kristen’s beautiful photo prints, as well as working with her during the buying process more — not only does her photography work speaks for itself, but the quality of the finished piece is exceptional, and most importantly she genuinely goes above and beyond for her clients. My daughter absolutely loved her photo print “Heaven” for her birthday and I have no doubt that even after she moves of the nest and creates her own home, she will always cherish hanging this piece.

     

    VOILA!!!!

    Here is the finished 24"x36" framed print "Heaven" hanging in Jackie's room! Marcy and I decided to go with the white frame and add a thin white mat to really have "Heaven" make a statement in Jackie's bedroom!

    If this virtual design session sounds like just what you need, contact me and I can't wait to help!

     
    P u r a   V i d a,
