Remember when I was looking for art for this spot?

Well, maybe you do or don’t. But we’ve had our walls naked for a while because windows were replaced, then trim had to be installed and painted. I saw a pic of a tree somewhere and asked DH to create something similar. He’s an avid nature photographer and most of his photos aren’t displayed around the house because they’re mostly birds, and I‘m not into birds. Anyway, he had this tree photo in his files, and found a site that could print at any size. Voila! I love it.
I needed something in a scale that could be seen from the next room — our living room is open to a sitting room, and “my” chair in that room faces this wall.

Do any of you remember this sort of glass art?
Comments (1)I'd love to know how to use this method. If you find out something, please post the directions here. Thanks....See Morewhen you just keep looking at a piece of art....
Comments (21)My Chairish rant - I purchased a Buy Now chandelier for the master closet. CC was charged. Didn't receive email w/tracking from seller. Gave them a break since it was Christmas, then New Years. Emailed Chairish only to have them contact seller that said "no longer available." >:( Boop, with glass it would be a lot to pack and ship, add insurance too. Framing something that size would cost as much as shipping the one you found (or more!). Also try etsy for original art, in addition to sources ingrid mentioned....See MoreI don’t know if art work or a mirror is better on the buffet wall ?
Comments (13)I agree that the rug is much too small as well as dark. The tones are taking away from the distinct table base and the coordinating chair legs. As an admitted minimalist, I'd have no rug there or one that's the same color as the floor but textural. The floors are beautiful. Given the many hard reflective surfaces, I think a mirror would be too much and would prefer a textural art piece. The height can't be greater than what's there now due to the vent. Although I really like the candlestick lamps below, it may look cluttered due to the glass cabinet close to the sideboard....See MoreArt for my Florida home.....so herons are not art?
Comments (50)"I prefer the term 'coastal' to beachy. LOL" Me too! This discussion is of interest to me as we are finishing a gut remodel of our house that we bought as a second home. I decorated fast and inexpensively with a lot of beachy themed stuff from furniture to wall art. Baskets of shells, baskets in general, walls painted shades of fairly intense blue and aqua etc. Lots of beachy Home Goods type artwork for the walls. 5 years later we live here full time and I'm more than ready to switch out from the Margaritaville AirBnB theme decor style. Eld, I love your look and I think you are spot on with your colors, style and decor. Here is more than anyone probably cares to know about how I'm trying to achieve the same blend and mix. I'm going for a coastal modern mix. White shaker cabinets in our kitchen, both bathrooms and office. This is my quartz countertop inthe kitchen and office. Kitchen is getting black bar pulls and black faucet to play off the veining in the counters. Maybe a black simple chandelier over the dining room table which will hopefully be this if it comes back in stock along with some kind of natural fiber chairs. And I'm putting these countertops in the bathroomsalong with a coastal blue/green mosaic shower surround tile with these faucets. Here's the store picture of my new couch, loveseat (didn't buy the chair) and coffee/end tables though I probably won't use all three of the tables together. Our windows have white plantation shutters so the above is similar to what the view looks like above our couch-our windows aren't quite so lavish though. In my house if you are standing at this angle in my living room, to the left are a pair of 12-foot sliders that face the water. So the room is flooded with light all the time. That slider along with 3 other large ones are all getting Hunter Douglas white roller shades, again a simple coastal look with a modern twist. Our new flooring is light wood look tile that's 5 feet long and 12 inches wide-again coastal but with a modern feel, not a wood facsimile. I'll be using some jute area rugs. Using this Benjamin Moore color for the 'public' rooms: kitchen, bathrooms, living room, hallway and office. It reads as a neutral but with a very, very pale blue tinge, enough to make a nice contrast with our trim which is squared off large base and door molding painted white. Bedrooms will be this Sherwin-Williams color which again is a super pale calming hint of green neutral. For art I'm thinking of stealing an idea I saw somewhere and liked a lot: enlarging some vintage family pictures to poster size and framing them with a simple metal or black frame. I've got tons of pictures of parents, kids and my spouse in natural/water settings so I'm hoping that will be a nice way to have a personal touch while keeping things simple. And last but not least I'm leaning toward a couple of Audobon bird prints so I'm right there with you Eld! Flamingo is a no brainer, again large and framed very simply. Probably another tropical/shore bird like a pelican or anhinga. So there you have it and once again Eld your home looks beautiful so go for what you want!...See More

5 years agoThank you, thank you! I’m just happy to hang a few things back on the walls because our house has been Chaos since Aug — new siding/shingles, windows, porch...
But we are about 2 weeks from the finish line outside, and this week all the window interior trim and painting will be done.
