mischiefdebs has good suggestions. I would clean it up but without losing the natural, rugged look. Change the base and platforms. Don't waste it on cats 'though, put potted plants on the platforms. Definitely don't put it in the garden unless you want it to rot away in no time. Don't despair, it has great potential. ;-)

Hi Lee, I produce affordable abstract artworks which are custom made in Australia, to any size specified by clients. I've mocked up a few images showcasing a range of artworks in a Mid Century colour palette, which I believe look fantastic in your space and also meet your desire for a Mid Century look. "Monday" Artwork "Palm Springs" Artwork "Revival" Artwork "Transit" Artwork "Blanche" Artwork "Cabaret" Artwork Lee, I would love your feedback! Warm regards, Sonja www.sonjarobar.com.au

Love your house! How quirky are you? I love houses that reflect people's personality and souls and don't just look like pretty pictures from a magazine. I also think it is cool when people use 'found objects' to create a look. Wallpaper? Can be expensive and in your face. Vertical gardens? Require maintenance, water and light. Can get messy. Purchased art work? Can be pricey. Do you know anyone who works in a cinema or are you good at chatting people up? Ask if you can have one of their life-sized cardboard standup adverts for a movie (one you like, of course) and put it on the narrow wall in the kitchen! For example. Easily changed when you get tired of it.

Hi Rema! Megan from Bluethumb Online Art Gallery here. We sell quality original art from the studios of Australian artists, straight to your doorstep. It's true that art is very personal, and everyone's taste is different. There's no right or wrong choice - just what you love and want to see everyday. Based on the pop of yellow from your chairs, and what I've read from the previous conversation here, we've gathered a list of artworks that we think could work well. There's a range of styles, but if you're after a specific category, don't hesitate to get in touch. We can create a special curation of works just for you, at no cost. I've mocked one idea up for you, by popular Melbourne artist, Susie Monte: https://bluethumb.com.au/photography/pennyp/artwork/margarine https://bluethumb.com.au/susie-monte/Artwork/yumi-abstract-painting-by-susie-monte https://bluethumb.com.au/sally-browne/Artwork/black-cockatoos-and-cymbidium-orchids-166624 https://bluethumb.com.au/kara-mandel/Artwork/floating-shapes-kara-mandel https://bluethumb.com.au/lilynova/Artwork/under-the-shadow-of-love https://bluethumb.com.au/lilynova/Artwork/beauty-of-country-life https://bluethumb.com.au/laurendanger/Artwork/appreciation-161435 https://bluethumb.com.au/marnie-mcknight/Artwork/california-dreaming-marnie-mcknight https://bluethumb.com.au/brendan-kelly/Artwork/portrait-4 Also, when it comes to framing, you should choose it to complement the artwork. Just choose what looks best with the piece you've chosen, and it'll look great no matter what your furniture. Cheers, Megan
