I still haven’t tried yoga. Too peaceful. I did however just sign up for a modern dance class at Boston University. The teacher is amazing, and I’m trying my best to blend with the thirty plus twenty-year-old girls (and boy). Anyway, yoga and prancing aside, I do appreciate the serenity of a Buddha. When I lived in NYC, the Buddha room at the Met Museum was one of my favorite places for decompressing. Buddha heads (ad sometimes bodies) are popular adornments in homes in search of zen.

In lieu of writing about a particular artist for this Monday post, I’ve compiled a montage of rooms that use art to make a statement. Large canvases pull an otherwise boring room together and act as amazing focal points. Monochromatic images might add texture, while wild abstracts are perfect for pops of color. The only drawback – price. The larger the image, the more expensive it is generally. That explains why all the artwork in my house is petite. If only I could trade them in for something grand. If you’re crafty, you could splash color on a canvas on your own, or stretch a gorgeous piece of fabric over a frame and staple. Easy.
