ILevel Creates Family Photo Walls in NYC

Many of ILevel’s clients have just returned from fabulous holiday trips and family gatherings, and their phones are full of precious photographic memories. Our staff of professional picture hangers has been hard at work helping clients create gorgeous family photo walls showcasing these holiday treasures. Here’s a peek at three family photo salon walls designed by ILevel for clients in New York City.

Select and Size

Overwhelmed by the awesomeness of all of your photos? We can help you select the best shots, and choose proper sizes. For this client, ILevel created a multi-story photo wall across two floors and up the stairs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Print and Frame

Once you’ve selected your photos, we can take care of the printing and framing. This wall is held together with black frames, and the variety of frame sizes and shapes creates interest.

ILevel Installs for Mr. Brainwash & It’s A Thing

We had the pleasure of working with friend of ILevel Nicola Stephenson recently on her collaboration with Los Angeles based street artist Mr. Brainwash. Nic created It’s A Thing, a new organization focused on changing perceptions and raising funds for head and neck cancer. 60,000 people are diagnosed with head and neck cancer each year, yet many Americans have little to no knowledge of this disease.

The inaugural event for It’s A Thing was a visual art experience of Mr. Brainwash’s work that took over 10,000 square feet of the iconic Starrett-Lehigh building.

All of the art in the exhibit pays homage to the vital functions made possible by the head and neck. Walking through the galleries you’ll see sculptures of headless angels, neon lights with positive messages like “Keep Smiling,” over-sized, multi-colored gumballs, and typewriters inviting viewers to sit down and tap away. ILevel installed many pieces in the exhibit, including the gallery wall seen below.

Net proceeds from the exhibit will be donated to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. “Since my fight with head and neck cancer just two and a half years ago, I have been eager to give back to the incredible specialists at MSK that supported me throughout my journey,” Stephenson explains. To donate, or bid and buy Mr. Brainwash’s work and merchandise, visit itsathing.org.

ILevel at the Kips Bay Decorator Show House

In case you missed it, here’s a chance to see ILevel’s work in six rooms at the Kips Bay Decorator Show House. This annual event brings together top design talent under one roof to benefit the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club. ILevel provides professional art installation services for the designers who create these gorgeous spaces. Here are some of the designers with whom ILevel was pleased to collaborate this year.

Philip Mitchell Design created this comfortably luxurious sitting room. The focal point blue velvet sofa and surrounding chairs feature 26 pillows in 26 different patterns. We couldn’t get enough of the details in this room, including a collection of glass paperweights, brass candlesticks, and one of our favorite features, an upholstered deer head with antlers. ILevel hung 36 pieces of art on the walls including an early 60s photograph of Lee Radziwill looking as if she fully inhabits this room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jamie Drake and Caleb Anderson created this gold toned living room with adjacent bar. Mix a drink, take a seat in the coveted corner of the wrap around sofa, and contemplate the fabulous draped chandelier. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For Alessandra Branca’s breezy sitting room, ILevel installed a photograph of a Rhode Island beach by Tina Barney. This photograph works like a window in this room. I feel like I’m in a summer house gazing at my beach view.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s a glimpse of David Netto’s living room, “Cherry Bitters,” with distinctive tobacco-colored walls, white wrapped books, modern furniture and pops of color.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ILevel installed this collection of hand carved wooden canes in an alcove of Stefan Steil’s room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brian del Toro designed this peaceful, feminine bedroom using an antique screen as inspiration for his color palette of green and taupe with accents of pink, blush, and rose.
