Here are the new piccies we bought, hung up in the front room. We've been looking for pictures we like for AGES....and have had bare walls for so long....the crown molding still isn't done (reno people are finishing that for us when they are here in Summer) finally we found some pictures we liked to go above the book cases and I'm really pleased with them.
I have to say that I HATE those shows where a family go away and come back and find their home has been redecorated - urgh especially 'theme' rooms......I just think its so impersonal and I would hate someone else to choose my decor and my ornaments and pictures for me......
I love that our home is slowly being decorated and filled our way. That we wait until we find things we love....that we don't go to one store and just get everything there....we look around...we wait.....we fill our home with things we love...things that mean something to us.
I picked the picture at the bottom because it reminds me of the sunset pictures I take - the same tree line...the same low sunlight below the line of cloud...the snow dusting the filed and roof top. It just reminds me of home.
Anyway, I'm glad we waited until we found pictures we love. We still have so many bare walls in the house waiting for pictures. I keep meaning to have some of my photographs blown up and framed.....I want to hang those here too. We decided that this year we will focus more on looking for paintings for our home.
When the door in the study is closed off we will have more wall space in there for bookcases and then I can move many of my books out of these glass book cases and they will look a little less cluttered and crowded ;)
