What Should Go on This Wall?

At this weekend’s Tour of Remodeled Homes, we asked attendees for a little help deciding what to put on the right hand wall in this picture (where the cow skulls currently are).

 

 

We received some truly creative suggestions! Here’s a few:

Oil-Paintings-Yellow-Red-Blue-by-Wassily-Kandinsky

A couple of people suggested that we consider a painting by Russian abstract painter Wassily Kandinsky.

Others liked the idea of a tapestry or wall hanging that incorporated the textures and colors of the living room:

Or a vintage kimono:

Some great mid-century suggestions included a George Nelson “Ball Clock

or perhaps a sunburst mirror?

“How about a map of Fiji?” suggested one attendee:

or a picture of a guinea pig?

Winter Fair guinea pig web

or some sandstone cave art?

Others envisioned conceptual art, from a fused glass piece by Roger Thomas to a large scale lava lamp or water feature.

Or this water fountain wall sculpture...

And some wanted to honor the view and our home state by suggesting this:

or this:

MORE WINDOWS!!!

A witty observer suggested a photograph of a mountain that looked a bit like Mt. Hood but wasn’t:

Mont Blanc-1

maybe Mt. Blanc?

Which suggestion do you think works best? Lend us your votes in the comments below and maybe you will sway our choice. Our favorite suggestion will win a custom-made cutting board from Arciform along with a collection of salumi from our friends at Olympic Provisions. So think deeply and let us know which selection you prefer!
