Artwork. Worth the splurge or not?
Comments (244)All true, Heather Roddy! I posted to this thread when it first began, and I still love reading people's thoughts about art. We have a collection of mostly watercolors, as well as one huge oil painting and two giant pastels. I am beginning to rotate the art, as I have several waiting to be framed and no space left! There is just one drawback that I recently discovered: We are having the interior of our house painted and new flooring on the first floor done soon, and all the artwork must come down! Quite a job. Lest you musicians think you have it "easy," we also have to move our grand piano, taking off its legs, wrapping it up so that sawdust doesn't damage it, and fitting it into a tiny room that is not being renovated, then reversing the process when the work is done. The guitars and dulcimer will just be carried upstairs, thank goodness. I was sad when I did it, but now I'm glad I got rid of my grandfather's electric organ a year ago. That thing was so heavy, it took three men to lift it into a truck. My husband's back was sore for a week. Ah, the perils of art!...See MoreWhat to do with this space?
Comments (159)Nothing screams mid century and eclectic than our authentic museum street banners. We at BetterWall represent 30+ major art museums (including LACMA and SFMOMA), selling their authentic street banners to people to put in their homes and offices as spectacular wall art. As unique objects produced in limited editions, the banners embody great art, great museums, and contemporary advertising trends. Here are a few examples at www.betterwall.com.

Comments (259)Right now I have Meyer lemon, Eureka lemon, Fuji apple, blood orange, naval orange, avocado, cherimoya, white sapote, Kaffir lime, yuzu, and ice cream banana (which has bananas on it right now). When I lived in Venice (CA), I had pineapple guava, Manila mango, papaya, and Texas red fig trees, plus a Valencia orange. I do miss the trees I had in Venice, but I only have so much room. I also grow pineapples, but they are not trees, although they definitely make fruit....See MoreUnique updated vintage chaise longue... with what?!!!
Comments (71)Quick follow up for those who participated in this design challenge. :-) I tracked down DecoDame. She was simply having email/website issues and is working on gaining control of her site again. Much as we loved the ours polaire sofa, the dimensions weren't right and it felt to risky to have something custom made when we couldn't test drive the "comfort" of the sofa. Instead we went for the following sectional In the following colour, which picks up on the background colour of the turquoise fabric of the chaise I hope you agree that it picks up nicely on the existing interior design of the room and the lines of the chaise (a challenge to bridge Edwardian with contemporary!). Thanks again for your input....See Moreshane11
