At the risk of dating myself, I remember watching Lynette Jennings' design show back in the early/mid 90s. One design idea she utilized was taking a favorite item (for some people, it's a napkin) and using that as inspiration for design. For the longest time, I had a piece of wrapping paper tucked in my dream book. But just recently, I figured out my inspiration has been right in front of me all along.
This painting hangs in our bedroom area. It's called Winter Whites by a PA artist, David Armstrong. This barn is about 30 minutes from where I grew up in Central PA. The colors read a little different in this picture: it actually has more turquoise, russet and creams.
I think this would be a great companion piece to add...someday.
I think this one is absolutely lovely, too.
