Gallery wall.

 Ok remember when I said I was going to do a gallery wall you can read about it here. This is my new Gallery wall. I have collected landscapes for a long time mostly from yardsales, Goodwill ,consignment stores and even the Antique mall. This past summer we went to Paris The most beautiful place in the world to me anyway. One of the many places we went to was the   Lourve, Ok when you are standing in there it's the most amazing feeling, As if you have stepped back in time .As we went from room to room We came across the most  rich red room I have ever seen , and all the paintings were framed in  the most fabulous gold Guilded Frames.Well I wanted that somewhere  somehow and this is my version of  it. I Love It!!! Now I know it's not red but I did do a green room (Formal Living ). Which is almost finshed.
This is the begining .

 Here is a little more.Pardon the book on the stair.
 These are the close-ups .
 This one I have had for at least  four years.
 This one is just ahappy picture.
 This is from the Goodwill.
 This one was an old oil  That was torn in different places so I was able to turn it into Two pictures.
 This is a little tiny one I got at the Antique Mall.
 This one I got at a consignment store.
 And This one I got at the Goodwill for 2.99.
And here is the finished wall. Now notice I still have room for more , Because I am always on the look out for landscapes.

  1. Oh, those frames...fabulous! What a fun and interesting display. I can't help picking up good frames like that at the thrift store, even if I have no use for them at the time. Lovely!
