when framing textiles, there can be a big difference in the look/feel you get from putting it behind glass and framing it without glass. it you are doing a project like this, perhaps try both to see which you prefer. my 2 cents. Display Idea : Framed Quilt Sections |

i have 2 molas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mola_%28art_form%29) that i stitched onto fabric and put in cheap ready made frames. i sewed a very thin striped grosgrain ribbon along edges of the molas to give them a more finished look. Ideas for Displaying Fabric Samples? Good Questions |

Plants! i would try a tallish, upright houseplant on the right side. Add a shorter, leafier one on the left, with maybe a third smaller one next to it. the marble is a nice, forgiving surface for houseplants, and the graceful lines would help break up the square on square feel of this part of the room.

done a lot of painting--i vote primer, decant into an easy to hold container, barefoot, no tape, use an extension handle, best brush possible, wrap your brushes in plastic, and no drop cloth. i also favor the small, "hot dog" rollers. they don't cover as wide an area with each roll, but the lighter weight allows me to get a lot more done before i get tired out.

the bureau could also be used in the living area. i live in a truly tiny space (one room in a flat) and appreciate having the additional horizontal surface. gives me an extra work surface, and a place to put a vase of flowers. How To Downsize Without Losing Your Mind |

depends. my daughter flew alone from San Francisco to LA and back when she was 5, and chatted up (and no doubt charmed) her seat mates. i would not have foisted her on the flying public when she was 15. When Should a Child Travel Alone? |

Oriental poppies are perennial in zone 9 and can take over a garden bed, but the California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica) is a beautiful little self-seeder that never get overwhelming here. "Love in a Mist" (Nigella damascena) also throws its seeds around with lovely results, and the seed pods are amazing and last a long time when cut. I also like Impatiens balfouri http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impatiens_balfourii as a self-seeder in the shade. It is fun to make the seeds fly by touching the ripe pods. 5 Favorite Self Seeding Plants The Gardenist |
