Decorating Ideas. A room with a focus on purple and green

 

I purchased a photo from you at last year's spring show at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago. I hope you enjoy seeing it!  It is hanging above my fireplace (electric) in my living room, the most prominent spot in the room.  I love it and have received many compliments on it.

A bit of background, my designer and I chose this mat and frame combination to blend into the wall and allow the art to stand out in contrast.  I love purple and green and decorated the room with these colors.  

Hope...
