I pulled the desk away from the wall so I could face the door while I work or surf. The monitor is probably too large, and the other computer stuff too ugly for my petite leggy desk but since it's not making me crazy it stays. I spent a week with the desk pushed against the wall and it was only OK...
Anyways, I stole my ZiZi plant from the foyer, but the plan is to get a larger fluffy wild messy plant for the marble top table in front of the window. I feel like it will help distract from the big bad computer box.
I didn't put much thought into the art placement. I hung whatever on existing nails. I am going to ask our contractor to build a picture rail around the entire room. I am hoping for a whole lot of WOW from that picture rail!
And now? I don't think the room needs accessories (CLUTTER!)...a jumbo happy plant, new light fixture (the old one from the upstairs bathroom is waiting to be installed) and picture rail should be enough!
A picture rail for your art collection will look amazing! As for a fluffy plant, try a Maindenhair Fern.
ReplyDeleteI love it with the desk in the middle! So welcoming and airy. Good job keeping the wires somewhat contained too!
ReplyDeletei think the picture rail is the perfect solution for your art...though, i'm kinda digging the casualness of the way it is now....
ReplyDeleteDoes the printer fit in the wardrobe?
ReplyDeleteno maam!
ReplyDeleteThe keyboard and the mouse are wireless...I guess that helps cut down some of the mess!
ReplyDeleteThanks Emily! I love that I can swap art around with a rail...I just welcomed home another piece! Plus I have two more to get framed (larger ones) and the toy room will get some of these prints... Addicted. It's just a shame I can't find a new home for my last addiction: Milk glass...
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle!
ReplyDeleteI think we will be at plant world this weekend picking up more clover seeds...maybe I will find something perfect then!!!
Shannon, where do you get frames for your art? I'm looking for an affordable option.
ReplyDeleteHi there!
ReplyDeleteI still haven found anything affordable. Whenever I can, I use Ribba (from Ikea) or something from Deserres or Blacks, but framing is kinda $$$$$. I have two big ones I need framed and I guess I just keep hoping I find a frame in goodwill that will magically work.
Fantastic, congratulations! I love the idea house and your photos are awesome!
