I laughed reading some of the critical statements about art here. Apparently some people do not understand that staging a place to sell is different from interior design that expresses a personal point of view. A ton of people with a lot of money have zero taste and seek to emulate looks that they have seen in other places. Cheryl is simply playing up this idea and serving the illusory effect of good taste. Only people that do not comprehend this difference complain. What she actually does is brilliant. Whether people in middle 'Murka are smart enough to grasp the pearls of wisdom is up for debate based upon some of the responses.
After perusing some of the comments I have to say in her defense that some people can't afford millions for "gallery art". some of the art is as good as alot of what you see in galleries nowdays, which is just offensive!
ya that art is a mess and honestly with what she charges i dont think its about affordability i think it is how she keeps her cost down HERSELF and then she up charges
@@grantnoroyan9275 is it tho because she does have to hire a painter and materials for paint as opposed to featuring a loaned art piece that then might actually sell with the house. But tbh, I think the art she does is on par to the modern art rubbish you see in galleries anyway, just shows that literally anyone can do it.
To all the negative comments about the art: Everyone is missing the point! It's intended to stand in as a space filler to help a buyer visualize the space as a home. That's what staging is. Anyone who can afford this property will have their own taste and will be employing a professional interior designer. Perhaps they already have an impressive art collection and will use those walls as a gallery.
I wish they prepared the space for art and encourage the clients to go chose real art from galeries and artists (they must have partners). Art is also part of our selves that get expressed for the eye to see, so I really got shocked that a luxury designer didn't have a galery partner and decided to manufacture its own "art". Art pieces are indeed pricey but a collection is a matter of time, feelings and effort. Instead of investing in these portraits, the best is to gather one by one things that have a meaning to you over time.
Love Ms. Eisen's approach to design---PURE TALENT... just purchased a large canvass from thrift now I can re-purpose the old painting to match something from the Interior Marketing Group's play book! THANK YO U
it's a very nice design is a very nice combination of textures and colors but looks " Tacky " now we know the way they prepared the art pieces. art in home is a personal Journey as a personal action. And by the way is she a professional painter ?Does she has any Art studies ?I know she's an interior designer but you have to do more than that to know about art...
I enjoyed mist of the tips but would deviate from not putting art above the fireplace. That's exactly what we did in our home! In the U.K. of course, the norm is to put a mirror above a fireplace. Overall though, I love the contemporary feel in the video :)
Whether a Rembrandt or Picasso, it's still a 'paint job.' .... But I understand what you mean. Lots of art in the twentieth century *is* about the paint... particularly abstract expressionism.
The interior is alright but the art is overrated. Just seems empty and shallow, if it wasn't for the frames and the setting that they were hanged in they wouldn't have any of the appeal. People need to get this idea out of their heads that anyone can just splash some paint and create a masterpiece. There is a difference between art and good art.
So many YT certified art critics saw fit to opine on the art. Folks, she’s a stager, not a gallery owner or scholar. She’s suggesting uses for the space, including the walls. Her embellishments have the sole purpose of selling the house at the highest possible price and shortest time.
Very nice work. It gives a future owner a great idea of how it would feel to live in the home without it being overpowering. Clean, light and does not distract from seeing the home.
I met Cheryl years ago right as she was getting started and she is a very brilliant and hardworking woman. She knows what she likes and is excellent in making that vision come to life. Anyone who says that she is lacking in "taste" does not understand staging properties to help them sell faster. There is a reason why she is as successful as she is and all the negative, non-constructive comments are pointless and low class.
Dripping paint with black and white brush stroked in a painting do not appeal to me. Makes the house look cold and dull with white walls. Modern is getting really old. Try some color please.
She is very pretty and seems competent. However, I'm not into having art look like it came from ikea and is manufactured like plastic bottle caps. Plus these homes seem so generic and not personalized. It's like the formula she has applies to almost every home she stages. Again, I like her. I think she's competent. I guess I'm just disappointed with the style.
that's why it's called staging, you can't decorate for everyone's personality so you chose something neutral and crowd pleasing and allow them to see the potential of the space
If you don't have a warehouse full of art or your own art team :-) you can also get pictures from the internet and get them printed on the cheap in your local copy-shop. Depending where you live you should be able to get a poster-size one for under 10 dollars even for a nice print. Then hang them naked (no frame) with a few straight pins: they won't leave a mark on your wall and will hold long enough for you to sell the house. That will give you the best bang for your buck. It might not quite be enough for 8M$ mansions though!
interesting way to stage ... art is impactful and personal but like music, if you have none you know something is missing... but PLEASE foyer is pronounced FOOAH ee A like the letter A not FOY ERRR OY! lol
VOMIT!!! the designer is not an artist... she needs to perhaps "consult" with a museum to get the 411 on how to hang art and how to curate a space... Layering art? no fucking way... nouveau riches BS
Larry Aleshire Well it really depends on how it is done. My main concern was the "manufactured" art instead of encouraging the client to search for art that reflects their personality with the help of partners (galeries, artists...).
I actually like the first property that was featured here the 42 East 72nd Street Residence 4, if only it's 4 bedroom and more kitchen counter space and less storage cabinets. In a kitchen counter space is EVERYTHING. If you are not going to have that much counter space which means you are not going to be cooking a lot, there is no point to having that much storage.
Does anyone feel like they are living in an office? I have nothing against converting offices to residential use but whenever I tour one of those places, I instantly feel the stress of going to work and I am just not sure if I can live in a place that would constantly remind me of being at work. Otherwise it's a gorgeous place, just a bit too "office".
I guess the idea is like it’s commissioned art but it would be a bit suffocating as an artist to have someone come up in the middle of the work and demand this or that be done to the piece. And it wasn’t a suggestion or critique, it was a demand. Yuck.
I find her tips quite good and it does look perfect in the house, but the fact that they do all of the art instead of searching for the right piece in a gallery (and also mentioned "mansion" so many times)... makes it tacky and unpersonal. Of course that I do not own a property like that, but all of my sculptures and paintings come from a professional artist or from traveling, not from a catalogue... this just looks as fake and dull as her hair color.
She is a bit plastic and does mention mansions a lot. But, I think the idea here is back ground art. This is to help sell a home, so you will look at it, but it is not the main focus, more of a thought.
You got yourself a point there! lol... still, I think that, as a high end buyer (that I am not) I would like to see something more interesting and genuine as a real art collection I can relate to.. but again, you got a point =)
Ignacio Martínez Argüello I'm with you on that. I don't live in a mansion but have many wonderful pieces of art I have collected or have been passed down to me through generations. They have meaning to me and I love seeing them in my home. I would never dream of buying what I can only say looks like something from Pier One Imports, especially to put in my multi million dollar home. When your guest asks "Who is the artist?", what in the world do you say? Don't most millionaires have their own art collection from their many travels or going to art auctions or galleries?
