Since painting and adding new couches to the living room we have also added a few other things. Thought I would update you all on some decorations that have made their home in our home(I’m a loser.)
Remember this photo with the painting above the couch? Well here is a closer look.
Isn’t it cute? That’s a little chocolate lab puppy in the rocking chair. Now that I think about it that rocking chair looks just like the one I painted white that I bought off craigslist. Anywho, Sandy and Kent gave it to us for Christmas two years ago.
Then, there’s these two, that are a couple more of my own artwork. These are stipplings though. Check out more of my stipplings here. Once again here is a closer look.
This is the little hall on the way to our bedroom.
And closer…
I think this is my favorite art in my home. It is a print of a watercolor done by an artist in Vermont named Amber Alexander. I also found her on etsy, you should really check out her shop as well. She also has some outstanding art. I cannot paint with watercolor, it’s just not the right medium for me. I think that is what makes me drawn to watercolor pieces. I am amazed that someone can create something as realistic as this with watercolor! I also tried to dress up the TV console a little more…
I was really torn on what to put in the cabinets. I added some of our favorite books out of our vast collection(that’s all of them.) Then I added two baskets that matched some other baskets I have in the room. They are also functional because they are holding remotes and some sick 3D glasses(yes this sucker is 3D!) I thought about putting some picture frames in there but the shine on the glass made them hard to see.
Char watched while I took pictures. He thinks I’m nuts. Can you tell?
I also spruced up our end tables with some new knobs(they were blue) and some frames.
I then added some stuff to our lonely mantel.
That’s all the mantel holds for now. A frame and a cute little ceramic mushroom. I will add more eventually, when something catches my eye.
