This combination took my breath away. I think the painting is gorgeous, but the color on the walls and the placement of the orchid in front makes it so much more.Can you see what I mean? Imagine a tray of violets on the table instead of the orchid-it wouldn't look right, would it?
Or imagine that the walls were painted pale gray like the marble table top - bland right?
Sometimes you have to see something in place before you know if it is right. The design term for this process is "auditioning." You are "auditioning" pieces in a setting to see if they should be given the part. Neat, eh?
I thought you might like to throw this into your next home makeover conversation..."I need to audition some new pillows for the family room." Ha!

I like to "audition" things in my home, try diferent placing and so on...move things around a bit... =)
Hope you´ve had a nice weekend!

Hi Patricia! If that is what the view looks like from your living room, I'm coming over! :-) Lucky girl. Yes, isn't it fun to mix and match pieces around your home? Glad you came by to say hi! xo Anne
Yes, I get it. I do love the painting and also that pale sage green on the walls. The painting is absolutely lovely. The orchid? I don't know, I find that it interrupts the painting, in fact, I had to do a double take when I first saw the photo.
You're such a clever decorator though Anne, I would always bow to your judgement :)
