The house, on a beautiful piece of riverfront property, has floor-to-ceiling views of the water, rolling hills, and tree groves. Sightline Art Consulting developed a stellar art collection that respects the natural environment and refined furnishings, even as it makes a sophisticated, visual impact. Artists selected include powerhouse names (many of them women) such as: Ingrid Calame, James Casebere, To… - [Cleveland Park Colonial](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cleveland-park-colonial-pj-vj~149948) - Location: Washington, D.C., DC - Photos: 7 - Description: Sightline Art Consulting helped the owner of this family home find artwork as part of a renovation and design project. Artwork selection and placement needed to withstand the coming and going of three young boys. Paintings are placed out of reach, and works are framed behind glass. But sophistication is not compromised. - [Delaware Beach House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/delaware-beach-house-pj-vj~168841) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - Description: For this ultra contemporary beach house, Sightline Art Consulting created a cohesive collection of minimalist and photographic works. The minimal, abstract pieces were chosen mainly because of their colors: bright blues, yellows and oranges that evoke water, sand and sun. The photographs were selected primarily for their content: oceanside scenes, sometimes with a humorous, personal touch, such as Larry Silver's Muscle Beach weightlifters. To match the high-level, spare design of the home, the a… - [Logan Circle Town House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/logan-circle-town-house-pj-vj~244200) - Location: District of Columbia, DC - Photos: 5 - Description: Sightline Art Consulting worked with the owner of this newly renovated town house to find artworks that would anchor the light and airy interior spaces. The collection is eclectic, building on the owner's prior holdings. It includes traditional portraiture, abstract paintings, color and black and white photography, engravings, minimalist prints and unique works on paper. - [Brooklyn Brownstone](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brooklyn-brownstone-pj-vj~369343) - Location: Brooklyn, NY - Photos: 5 - Description: The art-savvy owners of this turn-of-the-century Brooklyn townhouse sought bold, modern and contemporary artwork to act as a dynamic contrast to the fine architectural details of their home. In the library (formerly the parlor), Sightline placed an engraved self-portrait from 2009 by Chuck Close, two colorful, silkscreen paintings from the 1980s by Andy Warhol, and a series of abstract, geometric paintings from the 1960s by the father of one of the owners. The clients' preference for openness an… [See all 5 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/sightline-art-consulting-pfvwus-pf~939745779) ## Ideabooks - [Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6189885/list/bathroom) — 33 ideas - [Garage Office](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/126296784/list/garage-office) — 1 idea - [Bookshelves / Cabinets](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/4597093/list/bookshelves-cabinets) — 38 ideas - [Master Deck](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/126298005/list/master-deck) — 2 ideas - [Upstairs Hallways](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/126296678/list/upstairs-hallways) — 5 ideas - [Master Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/4597033/list/master-bedroom) — 7 ideas - [Landing](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/123045887/list/landing) — 4 ideas - [Patio](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/28955951/list/patio) — 9 ideas - [Treehouses](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/107242692/list/treehouses) — 2 ideas - [Pergolas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/107241437/list/pergolas) — 14 ideas - [Patio / Yard](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/12435647/list/patio-yard) — 7 ideas - [Powder Room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/31222409/list/powder-room) — 6 ideas - [Dining Room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/4464122/list/dining-room) — 31 ideas - [Porch](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/10081022/list/porch) — 17 ideas - [Room Off Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/4964303/list/room-off-kitchen) — 19 ideas - [Window Drapes](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/60512698/list/window-drapes) — 23 ideas - [Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3104786/list/kitchen) — 30 ideas - [Family Room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/7212681/list/family-room) — 21 ideas - [Kids' Bed Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3094402/list/kids-bed-rooms) — 101 ideas - [Foyer](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/30953328/list/foyer) — 3 ideas [See all 43 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/sightlineartconsulting) ## Community Q&A **Q: Lights** *(in Photo Questions)* Where are the lights from? A: Please contact the interior designer for information about the lights. J.D. Ireland in Washington, D.C. (also on Houzz). **Q: Art** *(in Photo Questions)* Love the sailboat art. Where can I get it and what's it's name? Thanks! A: I'm so glad you like the artwork. This is a photograph by Yiorgos Kordakis. This particular work sold for $7,000 in 2011. If you're interested in purchasing one, then I'm happy to confirm availability and price, and I can help with having it delivered to you. **Q: Beautiful artwork, How much does something like that cost ?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Not an entry level acquisition, that's for sure, but, as you say, it is beautiful. **Q: Table and benches** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me where you got these from? They look great! Thanks! A: I placed the artwork in the photo, not the table and benches. I believe the client worked with the architect to procure the furniture. These could be custom made by a woodworker. Sorry I can't be of more help. **Q: Where are the seagulls from please?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I placed the artwork, not the birds. West Elm sells similar birds. Good luck with your search. **Q: I HAD THIS SAME TABLE AND CHAIRS IN 1967. WHO MAKES IT?** *(in Photo Questions)* I WANT TO PURCHASE THIS TABLE AND CHAIRS FOR A NEW TOWNHOUSE WE ARE MOVING TO. WHERE CAN I PURCHASE IT? jkstonelake@aol.com A: Saarinen / Knoll table. Eames molded plastic chairs. I have a 96" white oval table just like this one that I am ready to sell. Excellent condition. I'm sad to say goodbye to it, as I love it, but I moved into a house with a large dining room and need a bigger table. I also have 8 Breuer Cesca cane chairs in natural wood color to go with it. Beautiful combination. Holler if you're interested in table and/or chairs! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-08.*
