Once I finally took down my evergreen "M" that hangs in my kitchen window through the winter months, it just looked so bare. When I then painted the walls that very pale gray-green, I knew I needed something with a little punch hanging there... can't be too sleek and neutral now. :) And I wanted natural elements -- or something resembling natural elements anyway.
