small h Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 It takes 5:00 to hang a picture, yet somehow I could not find the time for this one until now. It used to hang in my grandparents' house in the Bronx, and it's why I chose the color of this room (the light's weird - the top of the image is "truer"). My grandfather was an accountant, and some of his clients paid him in art when they didn't have cash, like this guy, Boris Solotareff. I did a little webbing around and learned that the Met has some of his stuff! I doubt this painting is worth much, but I have loved it since I was a kid, so it's very nice to finally have it hanging over my desk. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I really love letting one beloved piece set the mood and\ decor of a room. Harmony and emotional peace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Evelyn Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I learned from a friend who is an interior designer that you pick your "special piece" to be your focal point. Then design around it. And I am thanking him as I am working through the plans for my new place--which I finally close on tomorrow 😊 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilfrid Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Fifth Avenue closed to traffic on three Sunday afternoons. 12/4, 11, 18. I do like to walk down it in the holiday season checking out the shop windows. This might make the experience a little less hectic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
