Sometimes art can make a room while many times it can also make a whole house. I can’t picture a home without it nor would I live in one without. We all know art implies many things from an elaborate sculpture to a simple figurine. But, in this case I’m referring to art wall. The one that is very personal and many times tells a story behind the artists creation or its discovery. My Yaacov Agam painting that I found at The New York Antique Garage which my husband and I framed using the shell from another painting just the night before the photo shoot of our home. That is a story that will always be linked to that painting and to my last minute anticipation. Art can be anything many people say but, I think otherwise. Wall art in a home could certainly make a room but can also break it. The art that we select for our homes should bring with it the final note to the ambiance of the space, it should complete the room’s vision as it shows in each of these images. In other words, it should become part of a new story: your home. For affordable and good art I have posted here and here. Enjoy!
This vignette in Francisco Costa house. The color scheme is very soothing and seductive but the dynamic photograph of a horse injects interest.

Julie, first of all I adore your new profile picture! Beautiful!
Thank you for your support of the arts. Each image tells a story. Then of course from lower cost art to high end; the display and framing makes a huge difference.

Wherever I've lived, I've purchased art by local artists. I dream of someday owning a Cy Twombly, but in the meantime I have a gallery of artworks that make me smile every single day.
