What Do You Hang On Your Walls?

 I am always curious about how people decorate their homes and what they hang on the walls.

I don't hang "just anything" on the walls...

everything I use to decorate my walls has special meaning to me.

I hang either pictures I have taken or a painting of a place that reminds me of a place I have visited.

I bought this painting in a cute little shop in Point Pleasant, NJ.

It reminds me of and looks just like the entrance to our favorite beach.

Above the front door, hangs this hand painted sign that I purchased at a craft show...

Jersey Shore Shell Company

This painting I purchased at a local art gallery.

It looks exactly like our favorite bike path in Allaire State Park.

Pictures from my trip to Rhinebeck, NY...Leanne and I and the house we stay in.

I made this shadow box.

All of the items were found at our favorite beach...sea glass, coral, shells, rocks and a stick...

making this a very special piece of "art".

I have many of these gallery walls throughout my home.

I have taken all of these pictures over the years.

I enjoy seeing some of my favorites displayed on the walls. 

The is a counted cross stitch picture I made when my boys were little.

In the kitchen,

"it's so good to be home"

I embroidered the green piece below, a few years ago.

The Parsley Picture is a print from the internet that I framed.

Window shutter holds "special" items.

By the front door...

I have several of these hand painted switch plates around the house.

There's more...but I never realized how difficult it would be to take pictures of pictures,

and that they would look so...boring!
