I like #2 but with the sage matting rather than white

Either 2 or 3 :-)

(And I am a big fan of colours matching.)

I like #2. I think the red (my fav color) really pops.

I like #2 I think the light colored frame makes the colors pop too.

On second thought... definately 2, its more elegant. - 3 would be my second choice. :-)

Okay ... so I ordered the print. And I'm really leaning towards #2 to frame it. I love the lightness of the frame and I think it really compliments the yellows/golds in the print.

Thank you for all your suggestions!!!!

Problem #2 ... I love both of these prints but am not sure it would look right to place them next to each other. What do you think??

I like them together, same Asian theme, same color family. I am getting into the not matchy, matchy style of decorating.

IMHO - I wouldn't put them together...I would rather see another nature print beside it...the picture would look better in the same room but in another spot..but thats just me

I love that they aren't matchy matchy..hate that, but I don't think I would hang them together. They are each so special on their own, together takes away from that.

I wouldn't put them together at all. I like both prints, but I think hanging the second print next to the first will take away the impact of the first.

If you put them in the same room, I'd use the same frame and mat as the red Asian print. (And yeah, I still like the sage green mat, but in a bigger frame.)

"Matchy matchy" will pull a room together, make it look polished. Sometimes, things that don't match look like they were place willy nilly with no thought for the outcome.

They are same theme, same colors.

If you frame them the same -- same mat, same frame, it will tie them together.

I like together.

We all have different tastes here, so ultimately it's up to you!

I hate "matchy matchy"!
I would definitely want to show off the entire picture, so mat it at it's edges and use a bigger frame. Otherwise, the frame seems to be showcase. I would use the identical frame for the pics, but not use the same matting. Since there is a hint of sage in the first pic, I like that mat. For the second pic, I would probably use the goldish color I think I see in the background. That way, the subject and flowers would be highlighted.

Would definitely not place them together, they're too different, IMO, and are unique enough to stand alone.

Huk ... I love seeing you here. I've missed seeing your posts.

I think I'm going to put the "sitting woman" picture above the tv, as it can be alone.

The wall that the couch is on is wide and I'll keep looking for a second picture to go with the birds to fill up that space.

Thanks for all your help!

how about some sconces or two really cool asian iron type pieces (like maybe asian lettering) to flank each side? You could even do something as simple as a square painting (dimensions of the height of the bigger pic) framed the same way but in a solid color. You could do it in the sage to tie in that color if you want and that way you wouldn't have to mat the painting.

Any way you can make the left hand picture a bit bigger so we can see some details, Vacanick? I like Tex's idea of something other than another painting to flank at least one of them. If it appears oriental at all (that's why I would want it blown up, so I can see it better), maybe a fan, or a straw broomy kinda thing with chopsticks attached with a red ribborn or something? I would never vote for identical things flanking it though...none of the matchy matchy...you know what I'm sayin.

Nice to see you too, Vac! I've been around, just not with the insane regularity of the past!

I love the idea of adding something other than another picture.

Vee ... your foot of the stairs looks great! I'm glad to inspire you anytime.

Texannie ... you are obviously so creative. I have a hard time thinking outside the box. But I'm thinking maybe pretty asian plates would look nice on either side of the bird pictures. Something soft.

Hi Huk ... love your ideas!!!

Vac, can you take some photos of your room so we can see what you are actually working with?

I suggest the two pictures side by side or even one above the other to draw your eye up or down with matching mattings. It will tie them together without them being "matchy matchy". I like the idea of asian plates, or asian letters on either side for a "whole" effect. Even possibly some iron scrollwork would be nice.

I love the pillows from Pier 1. I almost bought the striped one for my sofa.
