Thanks Patricia. We looked around locally a bit but hadn't found anything. Might try a bit more. We have a good deal on the waterfall piece, which struck me as lovely in person and as something that might bring more 'life' to the room (which is otherwise more blue/gray), but I waffle and then wonder if it doesn't 'go.'

this came to mind immediately when i saw your space. GORGEOUS HOME by the way !!! i'm quite jealous ;)) xoxo eva @ monarchsofas.com

Thanks for the kind words and suggestion! :) I should have mentioned dimensions: The space is actually 96"wide by 69" tall, so I think the art needs to be more rectangular to properly fit the space, but the piece is lovely!

What wall are you talking about? The high wall to the left of the piano?

This is a great house with tons of architectural interest, and I see no place where you need more art.

Yes - the open wall space that on the first pic is basically left of the piano, next to the catwalk; above the downstairs hallway. Thanks for the compliment on the architectural interest; One of the reasons we loved the house! I guess my feeling is that it's a large empty wall, and seems to be calling out for something there... And, while the house in general has *tons* of windows, the great room is ironically the darkest room in the house. It also has a lot of grays/blues, and I feel like something here could help brighten things up..

It would be a great place to display something unexpected, though.

Very interesting thought; thank you!
