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.
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 taken all of these pictures over the years.
I enjoy seeing some of my favorites displayed on the walls.
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!

You have some very nice things on your walls. Love the gallery walls. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to the things that are hung on my walls.
Your walks are decorated well. Cheerful memories surrounding you makes a lovely home lovelier.

I love the idea that every piece of artwork has a special meaning to you. I decorate with what goes well with a room and if I like it. I will say that in my Florida condo, I do have a parrot theme going in the hallway and bedroom. I do like parrots,
I enjoyed seeing your wall art, Debbie. We also have photos and signs on our apt walls and thanks for reminding me that I photographed some but have to take more photos then also do a wall hangings post. And, yes, it can be difficult to get good photos of wall art especially when they are framed in glass.
