There was a piece of art by Eric Waugh that I wish I’d bought, but never did . . . I think it would’ve been my favorite! Currently, my favorite piece of art is a framed picture that my husband’s young cousin drew for the two of us.

Paint me a picture!! I have several pictures of my dog (yes, we are *those* kind of people) that I love – I consider photographs art, so that’s my answer! :)
Kristina says
Paint Me a Picture! I painted a large 16×20 to hang in our dining room. It’s just a simple color study, because I am by NO means an artist. It turned out well though.

Liesel says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!
I don’t have any..art scares me because it is expensive (usually) and I’m afraid it won’t look like I want in my house after I purchase it. This would be just the thing to get me to take the leap!

We are fortunate to have original paintings by my husband’s late grandfather, who died before my husband was born. We have a cool scene from Augusta National, but I think my favorite one is of a sailboat that we have in our bedroom.

“Paint me a picture!” Currently the most original artwork in my home is the dozens of duct tape wallets I have been producing for friends and family. My home could definetly use the upgrade.

My fav one of a kind piece is a painting done by my great aunt for our wedding present. It isn’t exactly my style but I hung it with pride in our entryway anyway. It’s the thought that counts on that one.

I have a framed quote that I made for my orange Frank Sinatra-themed lounge (it’s a family room, but lounge sounds sexier…) It seemed I was having to explain to everyone who saw it where I got the idea from. It says “Orange is the happiest color. -Frank Sinatra”
