A reminder of the journey:
It started off with just displaying some white china from what I'd already owned.
Then I scored Nicola, a Loui Shabner print off eBay last November. And hung it there for a while amongst some white china pieces I'd had here and there.
But no one in my family understood why I'd have a portrait of a stranger in a place of prominence... so after a while, I sold it off to Kim from Desire to Inspire.
I replaced it with my the {Family} poster.
After a while, I decided that it looked odd hanging there, something about the scale hehe so I brought it down, and gathered some other things around the place... a yellow cane mirror and a few black and white Raynham urns...
Then some time later, I finally had enough yellow-mustard art glass vases to display!
And up again went the {Family} poster... (yes I know I'm schizophrenic with these things!)
I really do like the art glass pieces there, so they're there to stay (kinda). But the grey-brown wall is going soon!
Then I finally dealt with the already-known fact that the {Family} poster did not suit the scale of the area... so that now hangs somewhere else and that space has been empty for months.
Pardon the mess and the clothes airer in front of the fireplace-it's winter!
Two weeks ago I finally got the spare change to frame one of my favourites, Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years. October 2008 they reprinted and I got my copy quick-smart!
Now I'm happy.
The size of the poster fits the mantlepiece and the room. I love it there. Now just have to paint the rest of the room the way I want it and I'll be a really happy chicky!
See my {Family} poster peeking at the side?
This is what we saw when we visited the place prior to buying the home:
I can't help but think... well... it's now way more busy... but also way more vibrant (schizophrenically)!! :)
