{Decorating}: My Home

 Of course when It comes to decorating, I am no expert, and learned the way most people do, Trial and Error. We first moved in a couple of months ago, and recently re-arranged the entire family room. And I love it so much more now. The first picture is from the perspective of the front door.  We have vaulted ceilings, so lots of wall space that begs for art. However, I knew that if we did that, it would make the room much too busy, unless I had a sitting room for only art and could use minimalist designs to compliment the art. However, this is a family living space. So We went with big and simple. As you can see we have a very large painting above the TV. And I love it, it commands your attention and adds style, color and drama.

 This is the view by the front door. The family computer is in the family space, my husband spends lots of time on it in the evenings for his art, so It's nice to have it in a place were we can still 'spend time' together.

The next space that is finished, yet always a work in progress, is our wall of art. I love how it has turned out. We have a few small prints, originals and various works by my husband hanging in the space. It goes to our upstairs loft, where the art studio is, but can be seen from the family and dining room. Honestly, I didn't map this out as I should have, but I knew what I wanted where. There are also places I can still add some pieces to (i still have about 5 more prints and one original that needs framing, so there are blanks to allow room for that). Again, I couldn't be prouder of how it turned out, and all the beautiful works we have to enjoy, including my son's first painting on canvas (the white canvas in the center).
