Using Mirror instead of Art Work
Comments (3)Personally I think 2 mirrors is plenty, but I love artwork and think it adds a lot more interest and color than another mirror. I rarely say this, but I think your husband is right this time....See MoreBuying "art" and buying "Art"
Comments (27)Thanks Rosie. That painting is a pleasure for me on so many levels - the crazy coloring, the "art" labeling, the primitiveness... I am way too constrained to create that freely. And then there is the personal - knowing all DH was going through at the time and his very surprising decision to try painting for respite. It inspires me. For the OP, reflect on what is appealing to you about those museum pieces you like. Crystalize that as best you can. Any gallery would be happy to help you discover works you love, for a price. If that price is prohibitive, try 'lesser' galleries, student art shows, resale shops, art fairs - just look and trust yourself to respond. Let yourself make a mistake or two, it's the only way to learn what you really love. And yes, framing can make all the difference....See MoreWhere can I get this art work?
Comments (1)You can contact the company that sells the bed. Maybe they can direct you further. https://www.fortywinks.com.au/products/bedroom-furniture/abeille-qb-bed...See MoreArt or no Art over stone fireplace?
Comments (19)Thanks everyone. I agree on the drapes, they came with the house - don’t love them. But the in addition to the two windows on each side of the fire place there there is a very large window on the walls to right and the left. So this will be quite an expense that I was trying to avoid. But definitely an option and would do in a similar way as @BeverlyFLADeziner suggests. I also agree with a chunkier mantel, however the mantel replacement will require additional stone work, so unless I can modify what I have, vs. replace it - that is not an option. I will definitely keep my eyes open for Art, you have sent some great suggestions that I like a lot. I don’t think I will go with a mirror, as I had one up for awhile and hated the reflection.. as some has commented could be an issue....See Morebonsai_audge
