On the site I originally shared these, I was able to easily sort them by room (although no one probably even knew). Descriptions for each are below.
These are metal, sepia-toned & are from Hobby Lobby. 3 of these were among the first things I bought for my first apartment. (I would've bought all 4, but they didn't have one of them, so it joined later. I forget which one that was now.) This is in my living room.
This was my first "Wine and Canvas" experience. Did this with a friend. It hangs in my laundry room, because it really didn't go with anything else I had at the time.
This is a painting I made from a photo I saw. It is of the Golden Gate Bridge. There are so many things I see wrong with it, but it was also one of the first things I painted that was a "real thing" that turned out pretty well.
This hangs in my bathroom. I was asked to make something with these colors for my mom for her bathroom, and didn't like this for her when I was done, so I made her something completely different and kept this for myself.
The Pinterest melted crayon experiment. You would not believe how many people come in my apartment and ask, "Did you make that?!...Can I have it?!"
Fun with paints. I think this took all of about 5 minutes to do and is one of my favorites. It also hangs in my bathroom.
Ah, Grand Central Station. This was the first thing I bought for my bedroom. It was a poster on sale at Meijer! I had been looking for historical sites for my bedroom and hadn't found anything I liked, until I came across this. It started a trend.
This is also metal, sepia-toned & are from Hobby Lobby. These were also among the first things I bought for my apartment, with those NY/London/Paris/Rome things. They coordinate well which is why they are also in my living room.
A friend bought these for me after seeing my different "places" pictures in my apartment. These are black and white "stamps" from Ikea. They are of various places around the world. I framed them and hung them also in my living room, across from those first pics.
"I Love Lucy"!! This is so blurry, but I can't not show it. I had a calendar with these in it and when that year was over, decided to frame the pictures. In my old apartment, I had all 12 scenes framed and hung on a wall in the extra bedroom/office. These are now in my kitchen.
See description above. Obviously this one turned out a little more clear.
My world map. I love the world and knowing where countries are.
These framed paintings are from Hobby Lobby as well. They fit in with my Paris theme in my entryway. I found these by accident one day and absolutely had to have them. These are one of my favorite purchases from HL.
Fun with paint. I began this with intent, but it didn't turn out as such. Many people express their love for this, which is why I keep it displayed in my kitchen. I am not such a fan.
Two of the newest editions to my gallery. These are another "Pinterest craft". My sister and I did these together (hers is on the left, mine is on the right). We painted the canvas then taped it, removed a couple pieces, then spray painted. Once dry, we removed all the tape. These hang in my dining room.
My most recent purchase. This was originally bought for my sister, but then I decided I really liked it and wanted it there, above my bedroom door. On the left it says, "Live Laugh Love" then has the "Dance as though no one is watching..." quote.
The other newest editions. These were made in a similar way, but instead of painting first, I taped first. I then painted over the tape. I waited for it to dry, then removed the tape. You see the results. These are in my bathroom.
These are in my bedroom with the Grand Central photo. When I bought that original photo, it was as I was trying to find this Eiffel Tower print. Once I finally found that print again, I snatched it up and then came across the one on the left, which is a photo of London at night.
My fun painting. This is an abstract tree. It is displayed on this easel in my living room.
I can't wait to add more to my gallery, although I might need a bigger residence to do so. :) Let me know what you like!!!
