Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are
clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in
the caption is entirely up to you. Please don't post random photos that
you find online.
Last month we were doing a bit of window shopping when I saw an interesting piece of art which called my name. Curious, I slipped inside the store with my handy dandy Nikon camera. The piece was almost $3,000, so all I left with was this photo (and the store owner was not too happy about that either). I've got a bit of a rebellious side to me, what can I say:)
Wouldn't this be perfect for a Bibliophile By the Sea?
Oh, I really love it. A little pricey, but what a gorgeous setting and that baby grand. Wonder if it's a real room somewhere or just in the artist's imagination?
ReplyDeleteI don't know, but I would guess the artist's imagination.
DeleteWhat a fantastic room that would be! I would also add a couple of overstuffed couches for reading.
ReplyDeleteYes, and under the windows bookshelves.

ReplyDeleteI deleted the JJB comment when I realized I was logged in as my hubby who used my machine last night!!
ReplyDeleteWhat I had said was:
Great room! You could have your photo blown up and then mounted on canvas and have your own piece of art!
That would be the ultimate insult to the artist...LOL
DeleteI would have loved the art, and I would have loved the room in the painting too. At least you got the photo :-)
ReplyDeleteI can dream now..LOL
DeleteLove that photo...he's afraid you're going to make a replication for much less than the 3K he wants!!! You are very rebellious...love it!
ReplyDeleteTell me not to do something, and I'll do it to spite you -- ask my husband...LOL
DeleteI admire that "rebellious streak," which is something I've been known to have, too...lol
DeletePerfect for a music lover and a bibliophile by the sea, I agree!
ReplyDeleteI can't play a piano, but still like the look.
DeleteBeautiful ... but where are the books!?! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd have to add to this room of course. Comfy couches and under the window banks of bookshelves...LOL
DeleteYes, perfect! The price is a little steep, but at least you got a picture.
ReplyDeleteAmazing what a little cropping can do:)
DeleteInstead of buying the painting, you should build the house by the sea and move into it. I love the sun across the wooden floors and the arching windows with the sea view. Waiting for a picture of your new grandbaby when she arrives. Here's Mine
ReplyDeleteDiane, oversized comfy couches and rows of books and this room would definitely call my name too! Wonder what the rest of the house would be like...
ReplyDeleteYes, it looks a bit too formal as is.
DeleteI can see why you were drawn to it- a perfect room for a bibliophile by the sea indeed. All ready for bookshelves.
ReplyDeleteLots of books and comfy chairs/sofas.
DeleteIt's beautiful - I want a room like that!
ReplyDeleteIt would be true love Kathy:)
DeleteLike Bermuda Onion and others, love that room. A grand piano is perfect in that picture.
ReplyDeleteNot a piano player but it does look great there.
DeleteI could make use of that space! Hmmm.... a few books here... a few books there....
ReplyDeleteI bet we all could fill it up nicely Sheila:)
DeleteThat sure is one fancy place!
ReplyDeleteHow about cat perches on all the winder sills Brian?
DeleteI absolutely adore those windows and the gleaming floors! The piano is a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteI can envision some cozy reading nooks beneath some of the windows...and, of course, some comfy sofas, chairs, and bookshelves...underneath the windows.
Thanks for sharing and sparking our imaginations here!
And thanks for visiting my blog.
It would be fun to decorate to our taste.
DeleteVery beautiful decor! Want something like this!
ReplyDeleteHere is my Saturday
Snapshot post!
We can all have our dreams right?
DeleteWow, I want a room like that...but I wouldn't pay 3,000 for the picture!
ReplyDeleteMe either!
DeleteWhat a lovely and also mysterious place... attractive home by the sea for sure.
ReplyDeleteSome artist do have amazing vision.
DeleteTalk about a 'room with a view' ! What a beautiful painting! So real ... almost photographic in its realism.
ReplyDeleteI know, even those sparkling sun-drenched wood floors.
DeleteI love that you were able to snap a shot of this, even though the store owner was not happy about it! This is a wonderful painting, and I would love to see it hanging on my wall!
ReplyDeleteShe said, "please put the camera away, most artists are frown upon this" -- oops
DeleteThat's a painting?? So life-like, and so expensive!! I'm impressed you managed to get a photo - well done.
ReplyDeleteA little cropping really made all the difference.
DeleteBefore I read your caption I thought you were literally shopping for windows. That's a cool painting!
ReplyDeleteLOL....I think not.
DeleteIf I lived in your painting, I would never leave that room...holy smokes! Can you just imagine??
ReplyDeleteYes, with some of our personal touches it would be heaven.
DeleteYes this is perfect. I also love your Kitty/Bunny. How did I miss that give-a-away?
ReplyDeleteSign up Irene, it ends tomorrow.
DeleteIt is lovely! I've been guilty of slipping my camera out in exhibits when the guards are nowhere to be seen. :) Some art just captures the imagination and it's hard to keep walking by.
ReplyDeleteI know, and since you host this wonderful meme every Saturday, I shoot what I can when I can....LOL
DeleteI think that picture is perfect. And I would have done the same thing, although maybe a little more sneakily. Perhaps using my mobile phone camera while pretending to dial the phone! LOL
ReplyDeleteYes, I had the big-gun out...not very discreet.
DeleteI would love to have the house that held this room!
ReplyDeleteWe can dream Colleen.
DeleteAlso perfect for a bookie on the High Plains.
ReplyDelete(You rebel, you!)
:)
That's a great looking room!
ReplyDeletePretty awesome indeed.
DeleteThat is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteWow...
ReplyDeleteI think if I had that space I could be vastly creative!! I think I'd like to test my theory!!!!
:-D
Thx for hoppin' by my Sat!!
That's beautiful! And yes, it looks like a great place for reading or daydreaming. Thanks for stopping by my blog on Saturday.
