Hidden Wells and Odd Picture Placement


Here is another shot of the result of picture-hanging a few weekends ago.  This is the little niche off the main part of the "green" bedroom.  We used to have a bunk bed in there until yours truly changed the sheets a few times.  Not a pretty picture.  We took the bunks apart and they are now happy little twin beds in the "blue" bedroom.  Anyhow, after looking at this photo, I am thinking the picture above the bed should be centered above the bed rather than centered on the wall.  What is your opinion?  I will pick a random person that comments to win a free night's stay in that very bed.  Wow.  What a prize!  Jerilynn  P.S.  Quilt on the wall is an old Hidden Wells quilt done in yellows, creams, and beiges.  I may make one of those quilts again.  Not sure if the pattern is still available, but it is a fun one.  Once you get the strip sets done and cut, there are a few ways to put the blocks together to give you different looks.  UPDATE:  I just Googled Hidden Wells and I read that the pattern is out of print. There are several sites, however, that have instructions.  Some use strips that are cut all one width.  The original pattern has you cut strips of different widths, which I think makes the quilt much more interesting.  I will try to find my pattern and see who the original designer was.

  1. If it bothered you enough to solicit opinions - hey, I always trust you in any matter that concerns decorating/color/people :>) - go with your gut (and mine) and center the darn picture! P.S. We have the same picture - it makes me happy, especially hanging in the living room in the summer.

  2. I think it's good either way. But, since you're asking for opinions, mine is that it needs to be moved up just a smidge. (aren't you glad you asked for opinions!?!)

  5. I have the same picture too - does that count? I would center it over the bed. I can't figure out this comment thing so I am anonymous but I am really Marvalous.

  6. I would move the pic over to the right over the headboard, then put a little something to the left over the table like a sprig of lavender in a bow or something.
