Statement Makers

Hello everyone!

Recently, I decided to make a change to the wall in the hallway that leads to the kitchen.  I've had the same thing hanging there for a few years now.  I know.......you're probably choking right about now.  That can't possibly be true, can it?!  

Well, yes it is.  But, I fixed that problem right up!!

So......here is what I hung.

I've seen this done all over blog land in the past.  So, this is nothing new or anything I can take credit for.  I simply took an empty frame that I painted white and hung it on the wall.  Then, I hung this monogram (of my last name) in the center.  Couldn't be any simpler than that!  I really love the look.

It's simple yet makes a statement.  That's my favorite type of artwork.  Oh......and it cost me nothing.  I had all of these pieces on hand already.

So, now where did the piece go that was hanging on this wall before?  It went here.

I know......so inventive.  I think this is about the 3rd clock I've had hanging in this spot now.  Maybe the 3rd time is the charm.  Let's hope!  For now, I like the statement it makes.  I like the pop of black above the mantel.  

Oh, and don't look too closely at it.  It's the one that I painted over and re-numbered haphazardly.  Oh well, I guess it just adds whimsy that it's not perfect.

See?  It's a little whop-sided.  Is that a word?

Oh, and just for good measure, because I can't leave anything alone too long,  I decided to take things down off the tops of my cabinets in the family room.  Then the light bulb went off in my head and I decided to try this arrangement on the coffee table.

I'm kind of liking it for summer. This is a collection of blue glass bottles that was on top of the cabinet you see in the background.  Now, it sits center stage on the coffee table.  I like how the light shines through them during the day and, again, they make a statement.  

Well that's all I have for today folks!

Thanks for stopping by.
