Anyways, the point is that I had initially hung this painting over my couch, off centered of course. My dear husband asked me daily if I was aware I hadn't "gotten it right." I told him I knew it was off center, but I was in search of the perfect oval baskets to put to the side of the picture and not to worry. He shrugged and sighed and asked me what that was going to cost him. :)
I never did find the perfect oval baskets. But I did find these really cool glass bowls that I could fill up with fake fruit from Target.
There were four problems with this arrangement, however. 1) When men would sit on the couch, only men for some reason, they'd really sink into it, and bang their head on the glass. 2) My husband was now certain that I was crazy. 3) It would only be a matter of time before my little toddler could climb up on the couch and do goodness knows what with this glass fixture. 4) Given the amount of color already in the room (not depicted from this shot) it was hard for the eyes to have something to "settle on." It was just a little to busy.
So, I took to the streets again to find these baskets. Unfortunately, they were gray and so I had to buy some spray paint and make them the brown they should have been. They weren't oval, but they were close enough and Lisa-approved.
