*love the simplicity of just a black canvas
*little bit of abstract
*Check out the rest of Two Ellie’s dining room – so pretty!
I love the idea of buying a canvas & creating your own piece of art. It can be simple and make such a statement. Yes?
I am finally working on my living room (the brown paint will be gone this weekend – hallelujah!!!!). I’m quite certain I’m ordering a venetian mirror. It’s a toss up between the venetian mirror or a painted canvas going over the fireplace or on my parsons table {update: the lamps in the picture are no longer there}. (Click HERE for a picture . . . SUGGESTIONS?). Which to put where?
Have you seen any fun simple canvas ideas?
As always, dear readers, thank you for your ideas, help and inspiration!!!!

My vote's for the mirror! And I'm loving that plain charcoal canvas in the first photo. I think I could manage that!

I love the black canvas room- so chic! I just did a post on mirrors and how much I LOVE venetian/orante ones the most. I would definitely put the mirror above the fireplace- it would look amazing framed with the beautiful wing chairs you have. I think the mirrors and lamps would compete with each other if the mirror was on the parsons table. I have a large venetian mirror in my main bathroom and never tire of it- they are just soooo pretty. I'm not sure how big you are thinking, but another option might be a large leaning one sitting on the floor- you could put it on one side of the fireplace, with the parsons table on the other to balance it out; there is a picture of a large leaning one on my post and it is gorgeous!

Trina,
I love the venetian mirror! Where are you getting yours? I've been looking for one as well. I also love the self art canvas. I actually thought of doing that before, but was a bit worried it wouldn't work. I'm going to put the lyrics to my favorite coldplay song to canvas and hang it over my couch. The song has significant meaning to me and I've left the space there blank because I wanted something meaningful to go there. Thanks for the post!!
