First things first: all your ridiculously sweet comments on my Sadie & Stella guest post yesterday had me blushing so hard I honestly didn't know what to do with myself. I'm so incredibly happy that you guys liked it, because it's the closest I've ever gotten to being done with a room, and I'm kinda into it too!
But see that word 'closest'? That's still a looooong way from donesky. Since taking those pics I've added a nightstand to the other side of the bed and topped it with a gorge gold articulating light (I'll insta that baby once I have a second to tidy), and also decided that the art wall above my dresser needs a bit of an overhaul.
It either needs to be more cohesive - meaning the picasso sketch in the upper right hand corner has to go, cuz one of these things is not like the others - or more varied. Or I could just add to it. Cuz, you know, it wouldn't kill it to be a bit bigger. In the land of gallery walls, bigger is definitely always better, amiright?
So this is where I ask you to weigh in beauties. Would you stay on the abstract express, swap a couple out for other styles, or just keep building? I've already started scouring etsy for new pretties to add - and am going to share some of my fave etsy artists old and new with you next week! - but I'd LOVE your input. Ideally I'd pick build, but doing that slowly is tough because you have to make it work at every stage.
The last thing I was hoping to do is bring some yellow into the dressing area to pick up on the shots of it on the bed side . . .
. . . and while I was originally thinking I'd spray the black lamp yellow and change up the shade, I was never really sold on that idea. What do you think? Should I just try to do bring in the yellow via the art wall as well? If so, anyone know some amazing yellow based pieces they wanna share with me?? I so wish there was a "more like this" button on Etsy. GOD that would be awesome.
I won't be around tomorrow because my bestie is coming up for the weekend and I'm playing hookie, so have an AMAZING weekend luvs! And welcome all new readers via S+S, I'm ridiculously stoked to have you!
xoxo

What if you ditched picasso, put two of the artworks in same-sized frames, and lined them up horizontally with the largest piece in the middle and the two matching smaller ones on each side?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that I'd add more yellow myself but if you want to, maybe spray paint those white vases a pretty buttery yellow? Or:

You're amazing. I literally JUST ordered a Kiki & Polly canvas print yesterday. She's gonna be part of my roundup for sure
Deletekeep building! more is more when it comes to art :)
ReplyDeleteLoved your post. My daughter lives in a flat in Montreal in your area, and the layout is identical. I will have her take a peek at your blog to get some fresh ideas! PS. love the lamp too.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Brenda, so glad to have you here! It's such a classic Plateau layout isn't it? I swear, half the people I know have lived or currently live in its twin ;)
DeleteI would definitely say keep building. And bring the yellow in through pretty wall art. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Alexa! I think that seems to be the consensus . . . now I just have to figure out a way to not have to a) rearrange the whole wall every time I buy a new piece or b) buy all at the same time. Eep!
DeleteP.S. LOVE Lulu & Georgia!! So nice to have you stop by :)
I say add more! Nothing like a killer gallery wall and the options are endless! Looking forward to seeing what you do! Excited to now be following along :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have you here Kristen! I'll definitely keep everyone updated as I build build build!
