How high to hang these art pieces over nightstands
Comments (17)Thank you all so much. We did center the bed between the two nightstands. One of our issues that you couldn't see from my picture was that we needed to cover the exsisting nail holes that were there from a previous set of smaller pictures. Don't even get me started about attempting to touch paint up! My dh and I don't like our nightstands right up against the bed so there's probably about six inches now on each side between bed and nightstands. Brownwynsmom- the lamp shades are a good idea. The lamps are from Pottery Barn and so I'll check about similar shades that you posted. Will post picture shortly of them. Thanks again....See MoreWhat "art" would you hang on these entry-way walls?
Comments (33)How about some elegant black iron scroll work? There are scads of varieties and they are often the perfect solution for a wall that needs that certain "something". (The photos are from my home.) I recommend choosing art that a) reflects your interests and b) makes you happy every time you see it. You said you can't your hang travel visas and martinis, but why not? You could frame your travel visas and arrange them under a large matte. For the martinis, you could either buy a painting or print of them or literally frame some martini classes in a shadow box. You might also consider vintage travel posters from places you love or that you've already been to. Your home is very nice!...See MoreArt Work - Too Small for Wall?
Comments (60)Thanks everyone ... I appreciate all the help and compliments I received on this! The rug isn't new, but it was my 3rd try until I got it "right" You know I didn't even think to move the picture up a little, to cover the box, but I will definitely do that. Unfortunately my whole house needs to be rewired, so I will have many more of these type holes to patching paint!...See MoreFireplace Wall - art or no art?
Comments (10)nice job! what a difference. The art you have hanging looks really off. It's hung a bit high, but the square shape just doesn't look right. and neither does the design. it competes w/the stone movement. you could try black and white or something very muted. this shape (rectangle) and image design, doesn't compete w/the stone like the other one does I'd leave it blank, or if you have the room to walk by, perhaps do a taller potted plant....See Morepricklypearcactus
