And I just found something that would work so well.
Well... for reasons I'll explain below.
I was actually looking for something bigger, something more grandiose, but this fits right in.
In art class we learned about connecting a theme throughout the work to guide the viewer's eyes through the work. Well, what I found would have this effect in our living room.
So, to introduce the key aspect of the living that the art would fit into:
Here are a couple pictures of our living room ceiling. I'm not sure what the technical term is for this finish, but my hubby and I think it looks like fish scales or waves. This was one of the many things we really liked about this house.
And the art I found (of course, on Etsy):
I just love how they match!
And here I thought that if I wanted something to go with the waves on the ceiling I'd have to go with a Japanese woodblock print!
Nothing wrong with Japanese woodblock prints, I LOVE them, but they can be a little cliché and I think this more Western looking print would fit in better.
And it comes with matching cushions too!!!
If I could make one criticism it would be that it has a boat instead of a fish.
Then again I think the boat is a nice symbol to have, signifying a journey. The journey of home ownership, of raising our child here and growing older.

So I've waxed on and on about how I love this print and the matching pillows. Will we actually get it for our place? I don't know yet. I think the concept is good, but maybe it would be a little too much in practice.
