PAINT ME A PICTURE! I have some small water color paintings that I picked up in Paris hanging in our living room. I like to try to pick up a little something from the places I travel. But anything that reminds me of Paris is my favorite!
Chez says
PAINT ME A PICTURE! I have some cool sepia-toned ballerina sketches we bought from a street artist in Prague.
Deb says
PAINT ME A PICTURE because I looked around and my art I think would be better classified as antiques now .
Jennifer says
Paint me a picture!
When our 4th child was 6 weeks old, we had a photo made of him in a cradle and the other three kids looking adoringly at him. It’s my most prized possession. Too bad 6.5 years later they don’t look at him the same way:)
Heather says

Nicole says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!
The first Christmas when we were together, I drew a charcoal of a cheetah’s head (my hubby loves cheetahs) for his gift and it turned out amazingly! It’s been hanging in our living room ever since :) Although I also love the nature shots from our trip to Costa Rica that my hubby took that we framed and hung in the bathroom. I love putting up our own art!
Laura says

My favorite piece of artwork is the drawing my niece did of my husband and I on our wedding day. She was eight, and it’s absolutely gorgeous- stars in the sky and our faces are SO HAPPY. I have it framed, it’s so beautiful.

I love my tree with 2 birds in it picture with our wedding date carved into the tree that I got on etsy. Fav!
Danielle says
PAINT ME A PICTURE! I tried my hand at painting and it actually turned out not too bad. I painted one scene across 3 large canvasses of a common view around our home, a wide prairie field under a big blue sky with whippy clouds that had a little bit of that dusty purple to their shadowing. Turned out real purdy but a little nurseryesque for our main room. It looks great in our little girl’s room though!
Caralyn says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!!
First time commenter here. I’d say my favourite piece of art that is currently up in our home is a nude drawing I did when I was 16 – my mum had enrolled me in a teen summer “camp” at the Art College and one of the projects was drawing nude models. It was an amazing experience and I ended up drawing one picture that I was really proud of. My husband and I got it framed shortly after moving in together and I love it!
Some other favourite pieces of art would be my husband’s creations and photography. And a fabric crown I created for our son’s first birthday. A fabric crown is art, right? :-)

I don’t own a custom artwork except for the ones my kids make which I love but it sure would be nice to have a professional art work.
Elizabeth says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!
My favorite one-of-a-kind art in our house is a modern funky painting of a house on a hill. We got it for a GREAT deal in a charity auction when we were in grad school, and hung it in the dining room of our tiny apartment, waiting for the day we’d own a home of our own. Now it’s in the entryway of our beautiful house!
Christie DeSilva says

PAINT ME A PICTURE!
I have a design lamp with a flat screen in front, where I slip whatever suits my mood at the moment. A gilded postcard from India, a printed plastic bag, a poster. When I switch on the light everything is magically transformed.
