We still have quite a few paintings and pictures to go up on our walls, lucky enough we still have plenty of wall space.
In the library, although the wall mural isn’t quite finished yet, we decided it was time to put our ‘girl in a green dress’ up. It’s a copy of a Lempicka we bought sometime ago. Brian made the frame for this and we are loving how it works in this space. Below it is a sculpture, in clay, by Brigette Head, an artist who used to live near us in Kent. I love the texture of this piece of art.
Up the stairs we have a more modern collection of art, which is punctuated by some old postcards we bought at a local vide grenier. They look great in the Nkuku frames.
Then there’s our ever growing hat collection. Our summer hats work well above the bathroom door, off the library. A little reminder of warm sunny days.
Lastly we hung a beautiful Balinese folklore painting, which we’ve put in an intricately embossed silver frame. It’s based on a mythological story from the underworld. This is under our frames containing some pretty creepy insects we’ve had the fortunate, or misfortune, of experiencing in their true habitat.
Adding all the artwork brings a warmth to our home, and adds a different feeling to each of the rooms. It’s such fun creating the look and feel of every space.
