Hi there friends...
I'm still playing around with my flea market finds and decided to take a different "decorating" direction...does that ever happen to you?!?
I headed to Hobby Lobby on Monday like I said to get my new canvas framed. When I was half way there I realized I forgot the canvas!!! You all know what that meant...NO framed canvas:-(
So when I came home I played around with it for awhile and decided for now I really like the way it looks just leaning against the chippy shutters in my living room.
I like the layered look it gave this corner of the room.
So for now this is the direction I'm taking...and I'm happy with it!

Tomorrow we are hosting a pool party/bbq for 30 teenagers!!
My oldest daughter wanted to get her class together one last time before they all go off to high school in September!
Good friends...Good food...Lot's of fun!

Oooh I love that look! I'd say it was destiny that made you forget to take the picture to be framed!
I hosted a party for my daughter's classmates for the same reason (except no swimming pool). Hard to believe she's 27 now!! Have fun :-)
The canvas looks great leaning against the charming shutters…it adds an element of surprise to the room, don't you think? Lovely!
I like the layered look you have going too! Have fun at the pool party!
Love it! Really I always love everything you do. That room is stunning!
Beautiful!!! It's good to change things up a little sometimes and keep things fresh :o)

It looks amazing leaning there against the shutters. Gives it importance instead of the usual hanging up on a wall. As an artist I luv showcasing my canvasses in unusual ways.

I like it the way you have it too and the pool party sounds like such fun. Can't wait to see pics.
Martina, the canvas looks great against the shutters! It's like you planned it that way all along! Of course, everything that you do is fabulous!
I love the layered look. It looks like a creative way to add a potted plant in front of the screen....which I love!
I like the look Martina. I love an unframed canvas.
well that's some party your are having. how fun. your canvas looks really looks good leaning in that corner.
Martina,
Hey, I like it leaning on the shutters and those shutters are very charming! Have fun with the kids...I miss those days.
Blessings,

Your chair with a change is perfection. I love the style of this vintage chair. Your room is lovely and very serene.

It's all beautiful Martina! :-)
I think you've hit upon a perfect spot. Your unframed picture looks great against the shutters. The colors are pretty with your rug and it adds color to the corner. I also liked the demijohn with it!
I love it, don't change a thing, it's as if it were meant to go there, the colors pop against the shutters. Love it! Xo, Liz
It looks wonderful leaning against the shutters.
I like the layered look, and love your pretty room. The colors are beautiful, and I LOVE that RUG! The art fits in perfectly.

The pretty canvas looks great there. Your room is very pretty and I think the blue dresser is a wonderful piece.
I love unframed canvases. It gives them a very vintage look. I love it leaning against those wonderful chippy shutters.
I think it looks rich, Martina, and I love that it's unframed, too. Have fun at the par-tay.
to bad you can't put it up higher or maybe you can. i love the chippy shutters.
I love unframed canvases! I like the casual look of it leaning against the shutters and the pop of color it gives that corner.
Martina I love how it is just that way! The area you created is beautiful!
Oh my gosh, don't you hate when that happens! I tend to leave things by my pocketbook that I have to remember to take with me or I put them right in my car while I'm thinking of it. I love those shutters and they make for a nice backdrop for the painting.
It is a beauty! I love flower paintings. And I also have always loved that blue piece.

I'm so glad you didn't frame your painting because I love it as it is. Unframed vintage paintings have so much character...in my opinion. :-)

Love the look, Martina. You really have a beautiful home.....Christine
Love it, Martina. I think it's a more casual look which is really nice sometimes!
I think there was some divine intervention going on when you forgot the canvas!...as it is beautiful without a frame...love the look you created. Have fun with the kiddos...miss those days!!!..
I like the newest look, Martina. A pool party is always a great time:)
Hi Martina,
The shutters make a lovely frame backdrop for the pretty pictures. Have fun with the pool party. Sounds wonderful. You are a great mom to have 30 teenagers over!

Hello,
I just found your blog today and I had to put in my two cents about the painting. It has a frame now...it is the shutter than compliments it so well. I think placing art around a room (frameless) adds a bohemian effect that surprises the eye and, in your room, really adds depth. I love the painting like this.
You created such a gorgeous vignette! And that rug, love love! Happy Monday Martina :)
xoxo, Andrea
Martina, I love the canvas and the pop of red against the blue shutters.
xx,
Sherry
Absolutely love the new look Martina. The frame less canvas is perfect as is. I think it was meant to be this way.
I love it, Martina! It's the beautiful layer to your shutter and was simply meant to be! I'm sure your pool party was a huge success an so much fun!
Martina I love you layered corner.. That canvas looks as if it was intended to be there all along.
Very pretty. I like the canvas in front of the shutters.
It looks great! I love those shutters -have fun at the party -hosting 30 kiddos is no easy task but it will make such great memories!
Looks great Martina! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, your blog is simply gorgeous. I am so glad that I just found it.
Blessings!

When you asked "does that ever happen to you?" I thought...what happens to ME is doing things like leaving the painting at home...but what a serendipity! It looks great against the chippy shutters. The blues in the vase on the canvas pick up the color of the shutters well. Your room is just lovely! Congratulations for being featured over at "Treasure Hunt Thursday".
Well, I feel better! Forgetting stuff seems to be my way of life lately! It worked out great for you! I love the painting as is. It's pretty leaning against those beautiful shutters! Changing direction is a good thing.. or did I forget something? HA! Happy Day to you!
Sherry

Beautiful! Good luck with the party!

This looks beautiful Martina! I love the way the canvas looks leaned up against the shutters! Hope the swim party was a success! Life to the full! Melissa
I wouldn't change a thing Martina - what a perfect backdrop for that canvas !
Now.......what will you spend the money on you were going to use for framing LOL ????
Hope your 30 teenager party went off without a hitch !
xoxo
Martina, that corner is so pretty, I love the layers and the leaning canvas. A blessing in disguise that you forgot it!
