New Landscapes

WOW!!!  What a beautiful day it is today! The sun is bright and warm, and the wind gives just a soft chill to the air. Jonathan has been outside cleaning up our back porch and garage. And I have been soaking up some free time.

After re-doing my dining room walls last week, we have done some further updates, with new framed landscapes of Jonathan's. Enjoy!

 Here's some landscapes framed in gold.

 I placed them above a seating chair in my Living Room, one above the other.

(Please excuse the mess;)

 Then we have a series of natural wood frames:

 These I put in the little alcove that leads to the bedrooms:

Yes, she's still determined to be in all the pictures! What a poser ;)

Then two smaller 8x10" paintings which are added to the walls in my dining room:

 And I exchanged the large "Clifftops" painting above my buffet, for this new one, since the previous one has been juried into a show at the end of this month!

 

That's all folks! Thanks for visiting. Also, please visit these link parties, and the "Welcome Wednesday" Party!

Something Different

Jonathan's done a couple paintings with slightly new concepts.

They are so unique, they draw you into a beautiful place.

"Misty Mountain" 40x60

"Through the Frost" 20x30

And then this one, which has a different flair:

"Organic" 30x40

My Dining Room

Being a newly wed, and in my first home, Fall decor wasn't right on hand. Thankfully I found some inexpensive resources, some free time, and was able to get to work! Here are the results of my Wednesday evening!

First things first... without the table settings!  My house has all arched entries, and this is the view walking into my dining room. Now for some close-ups:

Above my buffet,I stole some odds and ends form my moms fall decor stash, and added a cornucopia to the scene!

Next, since my at least 30 year old cabinets are too shallow for my dishes, I had to resort to shelves, which my husband painted. Here is my fall touch on the shelves...

I found some glass vases I had stowed away, and filled it with acorns, fall berries all to make a nice center piece, for very cheap!

My wonderful oil lamp ($6, just had to brag).

My table with settings!

These are my favorite napkin rings, given by my mother. Birds are my theme.. LOVE them!

And of course, since this blog is my "brag" page, I must share my dining room paintings from my husband (which are always temporary, since they are always selling).
