Again - CONGRATULATIONS MOJO - The windows are gorgeous. As I said, I've seen the quilted windows before but your's is fantastic, love those colors. Now, that shutter shelf, is beautiful. Mine too has the vine in that area and it just makes it pop out so much more. You've done a great job on all of them. GOOD LUCK!

I like this one even better! I like how there's empty space in the middle. :) I would love to go to that museum! lol I really like the heavy black on the bottom of the wall and all of the different sizes of paintings. Well done! Carol

That is really cool and clever!!! I think I would have taken out the middle picture on the floor to make it look more airy and roomy. But this is REALLY clever!! Did you just think this up yourself?? I LOVE IT! Carol

I thought that the black rubber tip isn't supposed to dip below the bottom of the framed artwork anyway. There's a specialty company on the web called www.swanpicturehangers.com, and their photos of these do not show anything dipping below the bottom of the frame, so you shouldn't see the black tip anyway. Otherwise I'd just pull the rubber tip off, as ljwrar advises. The felt protector might very well be too large and show, tho--if so, I'd experiment with one of those clear rubber bumpers that are used beneath glass tabletops and on the backs of cabinet doors and picture frames.

Love it! Love the collection and the pole accent. The guy is probably taking the chicken home for dinner. Even roosters sometimes become capon. Great idea about getting similar frames at Goodwill. I'm eventually going to do a few walls like this (well maybe not quite as eclectic) but I will need to perhaps re-frame some art, so scouring Goodwill for frames is a great idea. But knowing me, there will be some funky, kitschy art inside the frame and then I will just be right back where I started, trying to figure out a way to incorporate THAT into my decor. On second thought, maybe better just get a plain frame at the local big box . , ,

Thanks all,

crafty, you gave me the idea thanks so much..... that shutter shelf is actually the whole shutter all hardware included....I got lucky and bought 36 vintage plantation shutters for 25.00....one side of shutter is louvered and the other is paneled....i think the age of them is mid 1800...

lydia.. I would love to own a store where I could get people to create trash into treasure and sell or display works....hmmm what do you think of the name Elegant relic lol

Hazie I will let you know how everything goes...my whole christmas will be busy since if i sell one piece I have to replace it asap ....sad part is no check for work until mid jan....
