Oil Paintings Make a Home

Oil Paintings make a visual statement in a home.  I went to several galleries to find the perfect choice.  It is a very personal decision what you decide to hang on your walls.  We have traveled to Italy and France so the pics on this page reminds me of the quaint cobbled streets, beautiful poppies, colorful harbors, and still life found in museums.

Shopping

Before I could make an absolute decision on anything I had to know if what i wanted existed out there.  So it was time to shop.  I found these furniture items at Dillards Department Store.  I went there because twenty years earlier I had purchased two nice floral sofas at Dillards and had a nice memory of the store.  Plus  it has great clothes to buy.  But that's another day.  I found this wonderful leather sofa with brown trim.  I thought it looked very elegant but wasn't sure if it had enough color.

Dillards had a nice chaise lounge that I scooted over to the leather couch because I thought they went together.  The sales person was very nice and aloud me to do so.  Since my theme was Country French I liked the French language on the chairs.  I sat there for a good while and wondered if this was a fit?  In my imagination I imagined the furniture in another place.  Perhaps in a French Villa with fountains in the view.  I only had limited space so wasn't sure if it was the right pick.
