"What's on your wall Wednesday" and more frames!

Hi everyone! Welcome to the first "What's on your wall Wednesday" hosted by Barb http://gritsglamour.blogspot.com/. What fun! She has a great blog with lots of wonderful ideas, please pay her a visit!

First I want to show you this mirror my Nanny (who recently passed away at 98) gave to me several years ago. I have it in my entryway, so it's the first thing you see when you walk in the door. I bought the topper at Hobby Lobby, it mimics the design in the mirror. I swear Sassy jumped up on the bench right when I started to take this picture! lol

These are some pictures that I recently inherited from Nanny.


This watercolor hung in her bedroom.


The birds hung in the diningroom. I glued them in another frame to make them a little larger.



I love plates on the wall. This niche was supposed to be a closet, but Sherry suggested this to add a little more character to the house. Remember..... we built this house off a model home so there are many more people in the area with the same floorplan. We tried to add some things to make our house a little different. The oil painting is similar to the one on the mantle. I just love colorful landscapes!



This picture is one of my favorites! I was intantly drawn to it (at Kirkland's) because of all the color. Mom got it for me for my bithday when we moved into the house. It's a little contemporary..... honestly, I like contemporary, I tend to like lots of different styles!


I'll have to show you more on a different post. My house isn't big, I need something to show you next time! lol, Great idea Barb!

Now for more frames...... This is what I came up with for the initials. Of course there are many different colors this one could be done in. I did this one to match my house. I can do any initial you would like! This one has 3 different ribbons and a B on snake skin paper. I painted the edge of the frame gold.



When Sherry and I went to market we saw some frames with rhinestones in the middle of the bow. They were so pretty (and pricy). You guys suggested dog frames. I found the rhinestone paws at market and came up with this. You can put your own picture in this one, it can be for a dog or cat! I can also put your pet's name in rhinestones like I did for Sassy. I will also be making some in different colors. I also have rhinestone Fleur de lis, butterflies, hearts, crosses and adorable baby carriages I will be making soon. This isn't the best pic of Sassy.....everything is still on my camera!

I think we are all ready for spring!!

And easter.....what a wonderful time of the year!

I will be listing these on my Etsy store if you are interested. My store is listed under "My Links" right under "My Followers" on the left hand side. If you have a special request just let me know! Thanks again to Barb for hosting "What's on your wall Wednesday!" I hope I can blog tomorrow, we are in the middle of an ice storm and I'm just hoping the temps stay up so the ice will melt. Hopefully our power won't go out! Have a great week!
