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 MoreArtwork placement thoughts
Comments (62)Everdebz, to answer your questions... I don't know how big my dining table is (I haven't seen it in 1.5 years). It seats 6 comfortably or 8 if you crowd the ends. I prefer to keep it to 6. Yes, I am still looking for large scale, abstract, minimalistic art in any colors except red and yellow. I especially like black (if there was a darker color it would be my favorite), grey, dark to medium purple, and dark or rust orange. I'm not a huge fan of whimsical or fantasy. I wouldn't do 3 paintings to make 1 or have something that yells modern cliche to me. I would say I have a thousand dollar taste on a five hundred dollar budget, every time I see some thing I love, I wish it were about half the price. I do understand artists and art dealers need to make a buck but I think my expectations thus far exceed my pocketbook's depth. :)...See MoreCan this art work over my buffet?
Comments (22)Consider stacking the three pieces vertically on the right side of the buffet. The bottom piece at about 5" above the buffet and the others one hand's breadth apart as you go vertically. Place a lamp that reaches the mid point of the stack at the end with the outlet. In the center place a pretty bowl with fruit or some stable decor items. Think about framing the pieces with a slim metal frame/ You can repeat that metal with the lamp and other accessories....See Moredining room art work? help!
Comments (11)I'm shocked by the first post. Not because I don't know the interet is like this but you have a lovely room already and its very inviting. Could you go for something like this in the dining room? I'd add a tall tree to one side -- or maybe frame it with two! As for the entry area, I'd rethink it to be more functional because most people really do need that space to put down stuff or keep stuff. That doesn't mean constant clutter. But it's okay if it's empty and maybe just has an attractive bowl or catchall or tray on one side. Actually Levenger's sells a note "bleacher" where you can leave notes, letters you shouldn't forget to mail or mix in a favorite photo or postcards. https://www.levenger.com/products/note-card-bleachers?variant=42555135787157 I would also want some kind of umbrella holder under the console. I'd put a walking stick in there too but I like to use them. But I wouldn't put flowers or books or candles. (I might go for a great flaslight!) https://www.ebay.com/itm/195840629086?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&srsltid=ASuE1wT9G_7DHE4jqL58TaDePa2o8aNCXVHxJfYglXtvAachZnUY5M80qI8...See MoreJ C
