Help me decorate my piano studio
on: March 26, 2009, 02:31:00 AM
I have my own studio where I teach.  The piano is black, and I have some black bookshelves and a black couch.  The walls are white.  I have this picture of Beethoven hanging up:

Now I have another wall that needs a painting or something.  I'm thinking something from the abstract art section:

https://www.allposters.com/gallery.asp?startat=/getthumb.asp&cid=4BAFE5948ED343599A0511652CED4718&sortby=&c=c&page=1&Search=956&parentpath=0-1013-956

Would anyone here be willing to offer me some suggestions for posters where the colors would coordinate with the Beethoven poster?  They will be on opposite ends of the room, but the colors should coordinate because it is a very small room!  Thanks in advance for your help.

Me too.

I have Liszt on one side of my piano and Thalberg on the other.

I keep them at least 3 feet apart.

In the Dillard's department store at the mall here they have a bust of Liszt, and Beethoven too, I believe.  They are quite large and have a copper-like finish.  Stately.  Someday I want to have busts like that in my sumptuous piano room. :)
