Tape It Up

Last week, my mom showed me a page she tore from Marie Claire magazine.

From their July 2012 issue, here is Jordan Daly in her NYC apartment. This close up is what caught my mom's eye — art hung with blue tape!

We have written before about displaying things with tape but what's different here is the way the tape takes on a frame-like quality. Plus, the grid of art makes it look even more intentional.

Sure, a grid of framed artwork like what I had in my NYC apartment looks good...

but a grid of art that doesn't put a single hole in the wall? Even better.
