My husband did it again.
He came home with a painting he loves.
We first saw it in an antique shop in December. We were looking for a large painting for our family room back home in Connecticut. I thought the blue was all wrong, since our family room is green and pink. I do love ballerinas, however.
We both revisited the shop. Again I told him it wasn't right.
He has revisited the shop, many times. And here it is!
He never thought of the cost of shipping it home, either.
I hope it works in our green and pink family room.
Men!

If it clashes you can always try to find another room for it..

@katsmeow1213 Our new family room is neutral and our bedroom, halls, foyer, and hubby's office is white. All the other rooms have wallpaper or color themes. For example

I was what you are now - trying to match everything around including our clothes (lol) I do not do that any more.
And I know how it used to bother me endlessly until I rectified the situation. Hope that blue will not bother you.

@DianneN How about doing what Maggie did in the comic 'Bring up Father' She buys a vase and realises it does not go with the decor. She changes the decor and still finds the vase is not fitting. She throws the vase away.

I hope your husband will accept the decorator final decision.

That is a beautiful painting. If there is any consolation, at least there is a shade of pink. Hope it fits your family room.

We just shipped a large framed painting to California. It was from 1900 and the frame was so old and ornate it had a bit of crumbling in one corner.
Tuesday Morning packed it for shipping for just $40 and it shipped via Fed Ex for less than $100 fully insured.
We had been told the same thing, If UPS had packed and shipped it would have been over $300 plus insurance. It arrived in perfect condition. My sister said Tuesday Morning did a beautiful job packing it.

Since it's such a beautiful painting I'm sure you can find another place to hang it if it doesn't work in the family room. Guess it was expensive to ship home?

Thanks. I would have to put it in our bedroom, which is upstairs and tucked away. The painting should be enjoyed by others. UPS told my husband that it will cost $300 plus insurance. We will check out Fed Ex and DSL, too. My brother has a convertible down here and may ship it home for the summer. If he does, we can see if it fits in the car.

I'm sure you can find a way to incorporate the painting into your home.

Ha ha ha! Men really fare poorly in coordinating colors! (pardon me, I don't mean to be sexist). But still there's pink in the painting, the ballerina at the center.
