It has kind of a western theme going. I have a big oak gun cabinet that was my grandfather's in here plus my great grandmothers desk. I found some wrought iron shelves at a yard sale for $5 and then I hosted a Home Interior party and earned a big wooden square mirror. My grandmother bought me the wrought iron candle sconces that went with the mirror. Then I picked up some black 8x10 frames at Dollar Tree(which is a really good place to find frames, especially if you love displaying pictures) and had 3 individual pictures of my monsters turned into the sepia finish using Photoshop and highlighted some soft colors in each. They add a great "old timey" feel to the room. Right now, the walls are white but eventually I would like to paint it a more neutral tone to match the decor.<BR/><BR/>I tend to decorate alot with photos we all take. Since my husband is from Florida, I took some great shots at Hillsborough state Park of the trees and river, framed them and put them up over his desk in the bedroom. <BR/><BR/>Paint and rearranging are 2 cheap ways to change the look of the room. <BR/><BR/>I like the idea of vinyl lettering or stenciling. Those are details I'll have to put off until we get done remodeling.<BR/><BR/>We display alot of the kid's artwork and crafts in all the rooms, too.Aprilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07401189480682586544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101473495187445515.post-25016713010282237032008-04-17T20:21:00.000-04:002008-04-17T20:21:00.000-04:002008-04-17T20:21:00.000-04:00I want to do that too with frames.

Yee Haw. K so I went to the dollar store and bought 9 black picture frames all the same pattern, but in 3 different sizes. I grouped some family pictures and kids portraits together on the wall in the hall way. kinda did a diamond shape pattern with the frames. And I just love it. I love pictures anyways so this allowed me to have them all in one place. I will change these out as we get new pictures done. Cost for frames $17.00. Looks rich cause it is black frames. I always say a little bit of black in a room goes a long way.Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05296018398267989023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101473495187445515.post-70701237260997391872008-04-17T10:25:00.000-04:002008-04-17T10:25:00.000-04:002008-04-17T10:25:00.000-04:00Can't wait to see your pictures. I love the idea of writing on the walls- beautiful. I wish we didn't have bumpy walls:(Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05856975629899818393noreply@blogger.com
