• start with one large piece in the center and build your gallery around that focal piece
• use a monochromatic color scheme for a more dramatic effect

• use empty frames clustered together for a chic statement wall

Nashville Spotlight: Flip Burger Boutique

West Nashville just got a lot tastier! Celebrity Chef Richard Blais just opened his Flip Burger Boutique located at 4111 Charlotte Avenue (where the former Hostess Bakery once stood) at the corner of Charlotte and 42nd. 

The decor is very modern/sleek, and the food.. delicious. We tried the Nutella/Burnt Marshmallow milkshake, Butcher's Cut burger (beef patty, bleu cheese, caramelized onions, soy truffle vinaigrette, frisee, pickled shallots, red wine jam) and Chorizo burger (chorizo-spiced pork, hashbrowns, fried egg, manchego, spanish paprika, almond romesco, smoked mayo). The burgers are served a la carte, but I highly recommend adding a side of onion rings. 

Flip Burger is definitely a welcome addition to the West side food scene. If there is a long wait, check out The Beer Pale directly next door for a tasty local pint :)

Tuesday Tips: What Color To Paint Your Front Door?

Photo sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Are you torn on what color to paint your front door? Adding a splash of color can really update the curb appeal of a somewhat boring home, and set it apart from nearby homes. Here are some tips on picking the right color:

• Always consider the color of the exterior of your home (red brick, gray siding, etc.).. take a swatch of the paint color and compare how they look next to one another.
• REMEMBER THE SHUTTERS! Do you have shutters? What color are they? Will you be updating them as well? All factors in choosing the best color. 
• How does the landscaping tie in to the front of your home? What color are your annual plants and flowers? Will they compliment the new color?
• Can you personally live with the new color, day-in & day-out? As the homeowner, you will be looking at this door each and every day.. make sure it is something that pleases you above all else!
