Art 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 MoreWhere to place art work around this buffet
Comments (20)Awesome suggestions! I've been sparked! @njmomma: I like this example. As the original buffet comes with a mirror, I don't like it. Perhaps a separate vintage mirror would be nice to reflect some light in the space. Then I can hang pictures around it. @yvonne: I have hordes of pottery and you bring up a good idea; instead of buying more art I should hang my pottery on the wall, after taking off the mirror top. We have quite a few family pictures; in our previous home the buffet was flanked by those vintage items. However as this space has less traffic than the front hallway where I was considering for the family pictures, I'll keep the pottery in this location and the family pictures in the front hallway. @holly: I'm refining my mint favorites. I'm looking at reds, oranges in abstracts and landscapes. However previous suggestions of using pottery may put Minted on the back burner. @tedbixby: yes I have considered putting the wicker chairs on either side of the buffet..To the right of the buffet is a dry sink which is normally in the living room but due to the Christmas tree we had to switch it out with a drop leaf table (which is usually to the right of the buffet under the window). @grover: the room functions as it is. There's a dog pen because we have to pen them when we're gone. We don't use a dining room table, so it doesn't need to function as that. And we have an abundance of antiques but less room than our previous house so we have to find a wall for them. I wish we could put them in storage, but these are my husband's family pieces and he's not interested in doing that. And he's not ready to reduce the inventory, so we have to work with the pieces in the square footage that we have....See MoreNeed help with artwork to go with new furniture in small townhouse
Comments (12)Artwork doesn't go with furniture! Artwork has to stand on its own. As ART. No Chinese sweatshop 'wall art' from online or a décor store. No giclée prints of oil paintings. That garbage is for dentists' waiting rooms and car dealers showrooms and hospital corridors. Not your home. Buy something meaningful to you. Buy something real. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it does have to speak to you and say something about you. It could even be posters of art festivals you attended, photos of places you've traveled to. Anything that's real....See MoreArtwork too small?
Comments (36)Another question… my chandalier isnt centered with our table and it is not possible to move the table. Does swagging a chandalier work in this space or should i get an electrician to move it?? or does the chandelier not even work in this space anyway and i should save for a new one?? thanks in advance for any feedback. i get so excited when i get feedback to help improve this space for my family!!...See MoreFlo Mangan
