An elegant Bedroom with a Volcano on the Wall

You might have seen this elegant bedroom already a couple of times. Published in Southern Accents, it is now in the room gallery archives of MyHomeIdeas. But have you ever thought about adding something to this room? A painting f.e. to the wall above the headboard?

The painting has been inspired by the wonderful landscapes on the Hawaiian Islands, especially by Maui's volcano landscapes of the Haleakala.
