Ok, I need some decorating help! Last year for Christmas my family bought a coffee house/bistro style print for me for our dining room. It was something that I REALLY wanted, and had been eyeing at Michaels for quite some time. So it was very exciting when I opened that gift on Christmas morning. I had some Christmas money and bought another similar print to be paired with it. Well, these two beautiful pieces of artwork just got hung over the weekend (yes, almost a year later!!!!). Well, now that they are hung, the wall looks a little off balance. I needs something else to be hung to the right of the whole arrangement…..this is where I need your help! What should I hang there?
These are the prints (sorry about the glare)…
And here are a couple of different views of that wall…..
Any ideas? Anyone? Anyone?
I love those prints! I’m not great at this but I think maybe one of those small shelves to the right and a little lower than the bigger print. Maybe a little candle or something like that could go on it, then hang the other print on the right and above the shelf. Does that make sense?
I always decorate in odd numbered stuff.
Also, if you have a swag you could hang there – any type of plant would add “life” to your grouping too.
Can’t wait to see how you fix it up!
I would lower them first and maybe center one over the booth along the one wall and the other centered along the booth or bench on the other wall.
I agree with Annie in regards to lowering them.
Have you thought of hanging a plate or three?
You may have a pretty one you’d enjoy looking at on the wall, and if not, thrift stores are excellent for finding something pretty.
Some other ideas are: *a wall mounted candle holder
*a mirror
*You could stencil some words under/over the
grouping, or as a boarder up high.
There certainly are lots of ideas floating out there, many of which cost little to nothing to do.
I’m sure you’ll get excited about something!
I hope you post your solution:-)
Love,

I’m very challenged when it comes to this kind of stuff but looks like you got some ideas! I think putting a tall plant or tree in the corner is a good one to fill up that space. Annie might have a good idea about lowering them….or maybe do a grouping, like with plates. Sometimes you can find those iron wall plaques to hang that are bigger and you might can group them with something like that. You’ll have to show a picture if you change it up!
I would put a small shelf with a few decorative coffe cups hanging from the bottom and on top a coffee scented candle and maybe some other bistro type accesories 🙂
Ooooh, Julie, I LOVE that idea! Right now I have a pretty little Christmas wreath there, but I think that I’ll get to Michaels and get a wood shelf and paint it the same color as the picture frames and start looking for a couple of mugs…..LOVE that idea 🙂 Thanks Julie! 🙂
