Turn Your Home into a Masterpiece
October 10, 2014
How do you turn a home into a masterpiece? By filling it with masterpieces, of course! Displaying, collecting or showcasing one or more original pieces of artwork can take any home from ordinary to extraordinary.
"Go for art you love, even if it isn't what's "in." You are the one that is living with the art, so make sure that above all, the person you are trying to impress with your décor is YOU. If you like the outdoors and calming places in nature, go for rustic pieces and wooden frames, even a fountain, to help bring that feel into your home. If you prefer a feeling of opulence to your rooms, go for rich colors and invest in special pieces from auction sites and art school shows.
And what to do with it...Don't be afraid to take up an entire wall with a special piece that you love. The idea of a large canvas or painting often overwhelms people, but it can become a bold statement and fun focal piece for those brave enough to try this. Go for one bold piece in a room, if using this technique." – McInturf Realty

Mata Ortiz Pottery is another exceptional line to collect and display. This pottery is Mexico's greatest example of fine ceramics and contemporary folk art. It originates from the tiny town of Mata Ortiz, in northern Mexico, where world-renowned master potter Juan Quezada created the unique Mata Ortiz style. The pottery is inspired by the designs of the ancient Casas Grandes pueblo people and, as in the ancient tradition, incorporates only local materials found in the nearby mountains; from the coveted clays to the rich oxides used in the paints that adorn the completed pots. Mata Ortiz pottery has quickly developed into its own unique and excitingly varied contemporary art movement. These museum quality pieces are completely handmade and incorporate modern, geometric designs with vivid paint and clay colors to produce breathtaking examples.
