I agree with you about the benefits of a spring reset. I recently bought a large print from an exhibition which I decided had to hang in the hall, replacing a lovely old framed map which then had to move upstairs to where a large mirror had hung. The mirror had to move to a bedroom which meant moving two paintings from there to my 'gallery wall' - but that didn't really work even though there is what we call an 'eclectic mix' there. I probably spent three hours readjusting paintings, prints and mirrors, but the benefit is I now look at them properly again and appreciate them, rather than simply walking past. And it was a good distraction from doing any actual work.
I love this! Even favourite pictures can become ‘wallpaper’ when they are hung in one place for too long. A new position invites fresh eyes - and, if we’re lucky, not too much dusting as everything is shuffled around.

Thanks for the ❤️JP. Hope all is fabulous with you. Maybe bump into you at RHS Chelsea this year 💐
