This Small Room in Dover Is Flush With Fine Art
I muse joyfully this week on art galleries and bathrooms. As you know, Joyful Musers, I am a fan of the used, the re-used and the frugal. And at this moment, where the verb “downsize” is utilized as often as “to get a coffee” this is prime time to search out art – original, eclectic, lovely to you.
