    It's so beautiful! I can see something like this in my living room if I had any more wall space! (have large 5 piece mural on one wall, windows on the end with fireplace in between with family photo above, bay window and front door with another family picture and the only wall left is open to the next room.) You can bet though when I redo one of our bedrooms I will be buying a large stretched canvas to do something like this!
