Since we don't know the dimensions of the pictures, you might even consider putting the bird picture off center, and putting up a small knick-knack shelf next to it. I would place the height of the shelf relative to the height of the picture, not just having them both level at the bottoms. I'm just funny that way...symmetry be damned!

Oh I thought you were going to put them side by side...that would look ok

What size are the finished pictures? The one behind the couch needs to be a lot bigger than the one above the TV If the one behind the couch is the same or smaller, it will get lost in the sofa - and won't look good by itself

Vac, what is on the wall that is across from the breakfront? (If that's what you call the shelving thing.)

Here are the last pix before the painting was finished!

And now the painting is finished! But the wainscoting is not up yet. We are getting a professional for that...

Do you think getting knobs would help? Would it be worth the investment? I am thinking it will be over $100...

The 3 fruit bowls on the island are not a permanent thing. I had this fruit wreath on the wall that I took down and dismantled and now I have 2 overflowing bowls of fake fruit. I might get a big glass bowl and fill it up??? Any other ideas?

Should I keep those blue tiles blue?

Should I get a different color window curtain/valance?

Jimmer, you around now? (This is OT, but I am trying to take a picture of the wall that the windows are on and man all I am getting is a dark wall cuz the light from the windows is too bright. What settings can I use on my camera to fix this?) THANKS in advance...

Vacanick I love your prints. I think they'd look great in black frames and the black would pick on what looks like some wrought iron in your tv stand and lamp.

Vnick I'd also throw in a pillow with some red in it. I would also paint your wood furniture black but that's just me for a very zen feel to match the Asian prints.

Julie, I love it!!! Your pictures show up just great. Keep the blue!!


Where the hell did that other pic that I tried to post go?
odd..it shows up on the edit but not on the post.
Oriental plates would be pretty too.

I like Wink's suggestion of black frames. As well as Mocha's red pillow(s) and black furniture... Maybe just get a black or black wrought iron coffee table.

This is always so much fun. LOL!

And shoot, you're fast, Nic. I thought I'd have my pic outta there before you saw it. No need to muddy the water.

ETA: Julie, your kitchen is looking amazing!

Julie, when you post pictures, would you hit return between the pictures? Otherwise, it makes the page really wide and we have to scroll sideways.

Thanks in advance!!

While I like the direction the picture above is taking, I am a firm believe in "less is more".
There's a LOT going on there and it kind of distracts from the beautiful artwork.

Try just the picture and the tiles on either side, leave out the plates and candle abras.

Of course, that's JMHO.

Julie, since you asked our opinions, I'll give you mine, I like the red. However, I am not thrilled with the blue tile. I would paint that tile or replace it with tile that matched your red walls. Also, for effect, I would take a very scrolly, pretty stencil and stencil around the top of the cabinets (where the wall is) in white on the red with no pictures up there. I would also try to find a red fruit bowl to place on your island, or maybe just put red fruit in a clear or white the bowl.

You really took a chance with the red, and I am happy to say, when I first saw the color against the pink, I thought it not the best avenue to take, but I was wrong, and now I really like it.

LOL! I don't know about talented. I just threw in everything that had been mentioned. Like Huk, I don't always care for symmetry either. Let me try something asymetrical just for snickers.

ETA: Escapee, ok. I will.

See I like that better, it flows better without distracting from the focal point.

(red or goldish pillows would be pretty as well)

Vacanick can you photoshop a black frame on that pic and post it again with the sofa and the lettering? I guess I should ask...have you already purchased the print with that frame or just the print on it's own and you'll frame it yourself?

I was taught that the key to arranging wall hangings was to group things to look like one item without distracting from the focal point. That is why you must have symmetry and flow.

Either just the candle abras on either side or just the tiles, or the two prints with by themselves side by side, or with the tiles one either side.

However times are always changing and design aspect change often, so I could be wrong.

Vee, put a warm color on the walls, something that will flow with the carpet and the sofa, just for effect.

Suggest a color, Escapee. I just chose the one that is already there. If we were painting the walls for Nic, what would we choose?
