Well.. I mean.. If you like it that's all that matters?

They'll probably think you're a 5 year old girl.

mrsdavidbowie · 03/05/2015 10:02

Yes you are.

DextersMistress · 03/05/2015 10:02

I'd think you were unhinged. Sorry.

CatsCantTwerk · 03/05/2015 10:03

Sorry op but that is just awful.

BigRedBall · 03/05/2015 10:04

Ah I like it. Maybe not on the fireplace though. The hallway or landing? Infact I really do like that...very magical

DorisLessingsCat · 03/05/2015 10:04

Fuck that. If you like it do it.

Congratulations on your new place Smile

Hoolit · 03/05/2015 10:05

You're living there, put it up.

If you like it. Do it. You will probably have to plan the rest of the room round the painting though.

You wil have to redecorate before selling Wink

DonVitoCorleone · 03/05/2015 10:07

I'm undecided. It is beautiful, but don't think id have it in my living room. But who cares what anyone thinks? Ive got a huge canvas print of The Godfather in my livingroom

dementedma · 03/05/2015 10:09

Do what you like.its your place

Cornettoninja · 03/05/2015 10:09

I like it but it looks to me like it belongs in a book not on the wall....

If you like it go for it, but like most art it's not going to be to everyone's taste and most will have an opinion even if they don't voice it to you.

Pedestriana · 03/05/2015 10:10

Does it light up?

fulltothebrim · 03/05/2015 10:11

If you like it put it up.

Personally I think it's hideous and childish, but my opinion shouldn't count.

MintJulip · 03/05/2015 10:11

it depends on what rest of room looks like but it could work. however I pregfer mirrors over fireplaces

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 03/05/2015 10:12

It's gorgeous.

KoalaDownUnder · 03/05/2015 10:12

Yes, people will think you have weird taste. Do you care? (I wouldn't.)

CitronVert · 03/05/2015 10:12

Is it one of those velvet pictures?

therealsquireofwideacre · 03/05/2015 10:13

Do it, you're the one who lives there and looks at it every day. If it makes you smile who cares what anyone thinks?

RJnomore · 03/05/2015 10:14

It wouldn't be my personal choice but you need to make your home your own and if you like it that's fine. I'm presuming you mean a print so it can just be moved if you change your mind, it's no big deal.

If you like it go for it - its your house, your rules, your taste...
(Mint never understood mirrors above fireplaces - guess they were supposed to increase light or heat before electric lighting/central heating ...but useless to use as a mirror unless you want singeing!)

Stitchintime1 · 03/05/2015 10:16

It's funny.

derxa · 03/05/2015 10:16

It;s not very naice, is it. However it is going up in your house and not mine and I will never have to see it ever again. YANBU
