Have you ever spent a night at a Ritz Carlton?  If you’re reading this blog, then you most likely have an eye for design, an appreciation for art, and would react as I did just wandering the halls of the Ritz.  I lavished in all the beautiful extras in every aspect of the resort’s design; the grasscloth wallpaper and marble floor in each suite, the meticulously displayed flowers in the lobby.  But, the decor was just the beginning of my experience. Every single piece of art in the lobby, halls, and public spaces was original.  The brushstrokes were so expressive and the thick paint was palpable. Each piece, whether it was my style or not, exuded the discerning taste of it’s owner.

Art makes us feel good and original art does so much more.  It says something about its owner and enriches any space.  So, take a hint form the Ritz Carlton and bring some art into your life. 

1. The Art Makes The Room

Not all homes can be the Ritz Carlton, but hanging just one painting that is special to you can truly make your home come to life.  Artwork ignites interest and invites your guests to ask questions about it. Where did you get it?  What drew you to it?  Who painted it?

Christenberry Collection, founded by Meredith Christenberry, is committed to giving back to the community through not-for-profit months. Meredith thought through many avenues of giving back to her community before deciding to make a percentage of sales each month go toward a cause and group that is making the world a better place.

Art brings beauty to our homes and passion to our days, but it can also be an avenue for supporting organizations that support our community. Having a home is a luxury that not all Americans have. Children especially are burdened during this difficult circumstance, and Project Night Night has a heart to help children in need of a sense of home.

Working in the art business has taught us one definite thing: Art can be displayed in more than one way and look phenomenal. Gallery walls are one way to display multiple pieces of art in an organized fashion. We recently put up a gallery wall in a local Columbia shop and it turned out exactly how we envisioned- Organized and Stunning. 

If you are new to our blog or new to the art world, you most likely haven't formulated a gallery wall before. We pulled together the best tips we have for creating the flawless gallery wall and hope to inspire you to create an art collaboration in your very own home.

The art shopping experience can be confusing and oh so stressful if you don't know what you are looking for. Shoppers often go into a store and say "I like that picture," buy it and never find the right place for it in their home. (Anyone else have rogue art laying around at their house?!)

Some shoppers take the opposite approach to find art, they see the space lacking color at home and set out to find the perfect piece to fill it. This turns into weeks of indecisiveness and stress, but buying art should not be stressful at all. 

We have FOUR locations all over North and South Carolina that can help you find the perfect piece of art!

New Artists & Gift Guides

Holidays are a time for family, friends, and gratitude. We are busy this season adding new artists and connecting with designers across the country for gift guides.

We recently partnered with a new artist Virginia Chamlee. Virginia is a Florida-based artist (and our December Artist Highlight) whose work is inspired by the colors and shapes found throughout her home state, and the power and beauty of the female form.

A writer by trade (she has written for Style and Beauty features for Buzzfeed and The Washington Post, among others), much of Virginia's work incorporates words into the overall piece. Her feminine style is a great present for a new collector who loves color and modern art.

The Christenberry Collection team also connected with Katie at the La Ti Blog to highlight a few perfect gifts for the holidays.

Katie fell in love with artist Ashley Williams "Babes in Baubles" collection and how unique each piece is.

If you haven't see the new rooftop spot in Columbia yet, you're missing out! Hendrix opened in February and has been buzzing Main Street ever since.

When you visit Hendrix, you will see art throughout the venue that was curated from our very own Meredith Christenberry! The collaboration came from a friendship between Christy Davis (Owner and Designer of Hendrix) and Meredith. The two have been friends and working together on successful local projects for five years, and Hendrix is no different.

*Robert Clark Photography

We sat down with Christy Davis to ask her about how she developed the design concept for Hendrix and her thoughts on design trends. Here is what Christy had to say:

It isn't that often that Meredith Christenberry, out very own Founder and Owner, is interviewed by fellow art experts.... but this week Whitney Forster of Art for the Home did just that.

Whitney and Meredith met by coincidence and have been friends ever since.

You won't want to miss this unique opportunity to learn more about what goes on behind the scenes with Christenberry Collection and give our girl Whitney some love too.
