Reveal: micro-decorating move #5
The best things in your home are hidden.
Whenever I visit a museum, the thought crosses my mind that I'm only seeing the tip of the iceberg. No matter how many art-filled rooms I traverse, there's still more – and even those contain just a small fraction of what's stored in climate-controlled vaults underground.
It saddens me to think of all that beauty locked away, unlooked at, until a curator decides to release a painting or sculpture to be admired for a while, a prisoner out on parole.
We may be powerless when it comes to unseen art, but when it comes to our homes, we're the ones in control. Some of the most striking and astonishing things are just waiting for us to reveal them.
