Girls TV Show Premiere

Decorating With Red

I have to admit that red isn't a color I usually gravitate toward when it comes to decorating, unless I'm using it in small doses.

I was immediately struck by the movement and colors in this piece, and while I covet it (immensely), it's quite likely that its price point will eliminate it from finding a place in my home art collection. Luckily, you can replicate this painting's look for only a few hundred Read more
