Remember me "struggling" to hang my art collection on the wall in my living room three years ago? I wasn't really satisfied with the result. Especially when I saw a drawing by my son a few months after that, which I wanted to have on that wall, too. I took all frames down again and tried this and that arrangement on the floor, tried different pictures in different frames, but was never satisfied with the result. In the end all frames stayed stacked on the cupboard and the wall empty with the ugly nails for many, many months. But finally(!) during the long holidays I managed to arrange part of my collection to my satisfaction *big smile* art wall #1 The big owl picture was drawn by my son at school; the vintage owl plate was a find on a flea market, made by a (no longer exist) pottery studio in Switzerland, next to our city; the tiny owl sculpture is a souvenir from a trip to Taiwan ages ago (thus, also vintage ;)); the portrait was a find from a second hand shop; four original art works were from Etsy (Marina Collings, Vivian, Laura Ferrara, Betty & Marcos Suarez), one from BuySomeDamnArt (Yelena Bryksenkova) and one by me.
art wall # 2
This arrangement ist old (and still love it :)), but it got two additions. I bought the cat (and a donkey) as my son was a baby from an old man, who carved and sold his work on the street. I just couldn't give it away, when we were cleaning my son's room from old toys. The small owl sculpture was a find from a second hand shop. art wall #3 Yeah, got even more of Laura's lovely art work :) living room This room is often cluttered (or as a friend said: "being lived" ;)), so I have to hold this moment in picture. Yes, there's still an empty wall. The frame of the art work for it is still waiting to be repaired. My son said, it's like in a museum - it seems, part of my dream comes true already :)

Dear Devi, Your space is so cute and it's obvious that it belongs to an artist, full of cuteness! Love the arrangements on the wall, the little figurines that are sitting on the frames and your little window garden! Thanks a lot for buying my birdie pebble! She must be very happy to be in a lovely place like that with a sweet person like you! Big hugs!! xo
