I have long wanted one of Kate Knapp's garden pix (you can see her blog here). So finally I made up my mind I had to have one. I decided on the one above, which is really beautiful.
The next problem was where to put it. Wall space is at a premium everywhere. But I really needed the lift in New York. In the winter. In my garden room (such as it is). Here is my garden room today.
But where to put? I had thought of overlaying it on Hannah's wood blocks, but Katie's painting is too big. It is 30 x 30 and would cover much of the other picture. She suggested I consider moving Hannah's wood blocks out to the side. But they are glue-gunned to the wall, and would rip the wall down to move. Katie suggested I look at some smaller 24 x 24 paintings. So I did.
This one is awesome and would look great with Hannah's installation, I think. But am I buying decor or art? I love the next one, of wildflowers maybe even the best.
Help me! I could prop one on the table, covering the unsightly plugs and not much of Hannah's thing. Or maybe I could hang something nearby in the same room? What'll I do.
You guys gotta weigh in.
So Hannah likes the first one. She says take down her picture (and the wall along with it). Carly thinks I should get the other two and put them up along side. Bill thinks I should take down the clock and the lizards and put the first one up there. So here we are. Stuck.
ReplyDeleteI love all of these garden paintings, but the last one is my fave!
ReplyDeleteI will add to your stuckness by saying to leave woodblock wall as-is, and hang garden painting elsewhere!
I have the same problem with lack of wall space so I rotate art a lot. I also like when I see arrangements of several painting that people have done but I've never attempted it myself.
How is the horse painting doing btw?
Can you rotate him for a bit?

The horse painting is still awesome. But it's in the hall and I just never see it. Nor does anyone else. I am thinking of rotating the Lichtenstein out of the hall where I stare at it from my kitchen perch and maybe putting the big one there for a while. And in the end, I decided on two: The big one I originally wanted and the wildflowers. Just couldn't choose.
ReplyDeleteWhatever wall they go on the room will be filled with more light , color and love, my humble opinion!
