Oh, my goodness, this is a beautiful piece...  The way I hung it was to have the bottom stems coming out from behind the head-board of my bed in my master bedroom...  Such statement piece, but I had to be careful with what I put in that spot due to a quite large, very colorful, Japanese lithograph, that is the hanging on the adjoining wall...  It is full of color and leaves and I was hoping this would add too, and not detract from that piece of art...  It was a gamble, but so worth it!  I honestly love it!
