My cute friend Lisa has a theme inspired blog with such creative ideas! I'm stealing her latest post idea "If Walls could Talk", and sharing some of my home decor. I have to agree that the pictures in a person's home tell so much about the people living there!
First I dug up a horror from the past. This hideous Picasso pic was hanging front and center in Edward's living room when I met him. After we were married I quickly took it down. I hate it. It's just plain ugly.
I just LOVE this tree picture! It is Ansel Adams "Oak tree Sunrise". It reminds me of something out of Pride and Prejudice. It hangs above our couch in the living room. (It's kinda like your Tree picture Lisa, it's just missing an inspirational scripture!)
This picture was a Christmas gift
from our good friends the Abercrombie's. Bethany is a very talented artist and does illustrations for children's books. She drew this picture of the temple Edward and I got married in! It hangs in our living room also. (Sorry the photo is so blurry, I was in a hurry, Ha! I rhymed :)
We found these two photos in a travel magazine. I loved them because the little tug boat says "Nancy" on the side! Edward clipped them out for me and found me these cute frames so I could hang them in my bathroom! (Yes, we have separate bathrooms for now, it helped solve a lot of squabbles when we first got married ; )
These pictures hang in our family room. The picture of Christ I made for Edward when we were dating and I worked at a framing/matting company. The print came from a calendar by Greg Olsen. The frames on the side are bordered by small pictures of the Savior, and hold "The living Christ" and "The Family Proclamation", they were wedding gifts from my Aunt Yvette!
These two hang in my yellow laundry room. The cross-stitch was a wedding gift from a sweet lady, and the "Home" mantle I made at a family reunion craft project. The words were printed from a color printer onto a Wallpaper design (in two separate sections, you can only see the line if you look really close). I painted the standard wood mantle black. After the paper was pasted to the board, an enamel seal was sprayed on to finish it! (You could do it easy Lisa!)
Below are prints I've purchased impulsively, but have nowhere to hang that fits! Maybe someday!
And finally, my "Wish List":

This is cool! And I TOTALLY have that giraffe one in my bedroom (not hanging--I have no where to put it yet either!!).
I enjoyed Lisa's post too. =) I really love your tree print and the temple pictures and your wish list prints are really cute too! =)
I have my Norman Rockwell pictures hanging in my kitchen. Maybe you could hang it there, it might remind you to pray before you eat. :)
I love that you did this Nancy. :) I'm having so much fun reading your post. And Wow! You have an excellent collection of prints! My favorite is how your sweet husband framed those boat ones. That is too cool!! I really enjoyed this post. Thank you.
I thought your take on the Picasso painting was pretty hilarious. I think you're right about what people's paintings can say about them. I think yours say you are adventurous, nature-loving, you appreciate the simple things in life and in tune with the spirit!
