What Do You Have Hanging On Your Wall(s)?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2277)   ranked 169 out of 26,919 in people 5 years ago

Do you prefer artwork, photos, or other types of wall hangings?

Do you have a favourite one, and if so, why?

Please describe it (them) for us.

Actually, I have a couple of favourites, so it was hard for me to choose. I'll mention one here. It's a print by 'Trisha Romance.' It's of a little girl sitting on an old fashioned porch in a wicker chair. She's sucking her left thumb, and her right hand is up to her face. This reminds me 'exactly' of the way my daughter used to look at that age, as she 'also' sucked her left thumb, and used to fall asleep doing this, while rubbing her right hand on her face. This was an anniversary gift from my (late) husband to me, chosen because it reminded him of our daughter too.

Thanks for sharing these 'special pieces' with everyone.

I have a beautiful dragon tapestry, and some very beautiful collector swords.


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2277)   ranked 169 out of 26,919 in people  5 years ago

I really love tapestries too, and the collector swords sound like something you're very proud of. They'd be very interesting to see. Thanks, and welcome to myLot.

I have several paintings that my late mother did, plus some stilllife prints. I also have what we like to refer to as the "wall of shame" which has a collection of family pictures.


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2277)   ranked 169 out of 26,919 in people  5 years ago

Those must be very special paintings because they were done by your mother. I love collections of family photos as well, and that's really a 'cute name' for your collection. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with you simona1987. Photos do give a room a personal touch. What type of photos do you display on your walls? Thanks for your response.

Sorry simona1987, I believe you do have photos of you and your boyfriend. I seem 'to have missed' something here. Thanks for taking the time to comment again.

I have mostly pictures of mountain and snow on my walls. I also have a Native American wedding Poem that my husband gave me on our wedding day. It is very special to me. We also have some family photos mostly of the grandkids.


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2277)   ranked 169 out of 26,919 in people  5 years ago

I love pictures with scenery too. I especially enjoy winter scenes. Gifts such as your poem, are very special keepsakes. Thanks for your response.

myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 136 out of 26,919 in people  5 years ago

One of the greatest poems most have ever read is Footprints In The Sand.


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2277)   ranked 169 out of 26,919 in people  5 years ago

The poem, Footprints, is one of my favourites too, and has helped me during some of the hardest times of my life. Although I don't have it up on a wall, I do have a copy of it in a book, I believe. Thanks for responding.

I agree too, with your sentiments regarding Footprints, Grandpa Bob.:)

I have a mixture of paintings art work pictures on the walls. Photographs of my daughters are hanging on the wall. I also have metal work done by me displays on the wall. Apart from this i have a big canvas painting of a woman in traditional dress in my drawing room. I also have a beautiful secenery made by me and now framed hanging in my room.


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2277)   ranked 169 out of 26,919 in people  5 years ago

It sounds like you have a very interesting collection on your walls. What type of metal work do you do? I can tell you're very artistic, which is something I admire in others, as I don't have this ability. Thanks for sharing.

I'm sure by what you've said you must have 'lots' of wall hangings in your home. They all sound great, but I find the train picture quite interesting, as it reminds me of my childhood. I also have a wooden shelf with candles on the top, and a place for keys underneath. Thanks for your response.

I have several cross stitch pictures that my wife did, someonesmom. She used to do a lot of these before we had children, but I don't think that she has completed one since we've had children.

I also have a silhouette style painting of a person sitting on a bench, and there is a quote that I like on it, that begins, "In as much as you have done this to the least of these...."

I have several stained glass pieces built into the wall with light behind them, and I also have a fish tank built into a wall. In the fish tank sits a Gargoyle statue and the Gargoyle is sucking his thumb and holding his ear. I got this a few years ago as it reminded me of my youngest son, who sucked his thumb and pulled on his ear. Sometimes when he was upset, I would rub his ear for him and it would always calm him.

In my bedroom, I have different pictures that my children have created over the years, someonesmom. I also have pictures of different things and quotes that have caught my eye in magazines and such. It's just a big hodgepodge of things, from an artic fox who looks proud of himself, to a quote about childhood.

Throughout the house we have photographs of our family and friends.

Finally, I'll take this moment to tell you something funny that we used to have on the wall, but it's gone now. Some years ago I was putting hardwood floors in all of our house. My front room is about 700 square feet and I knew that it was going to take me some time to put in the floors and finish them to my satisfaction, so I had cleared out every piece of furniture so that I would have space to work. Unfortunately, it was during the Christmas holiday, and my children wanted a Christmas tree, but I did not want one as it would get in the way. So, I drew and painted a life size Christmas tree on the wall. The boys painted it to look the way they wanted to paint it, and we also hung lights on the wall on the 'tree', as well as hung other items on it. They also clipped some pine branches off the trees outside and attached them to the wall. On Christmas morning, the gifts were placed on the floor at the base of the 'tree.' After the Christmas season, we removed the items from the wall and I simply painted over the tree. When we think back on our different Christmas trees, this one is always the favorite.

Thank you for a delightful Discussion, someonesmom, and for sharing about the wonderful print, 'Trisha Romance.' :)


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2277)   ranked 169 out of 26,919 in people  5 years ago

I admire 'crafty' people like your wife. I'm sure your kids keep her very busy. That quote you've mentioned is one of my favourites too. Stained glass and a fish tank ... wow. I love these types of things, and the family photos are always special. You must be artistic too, to have drawn that tree on the wall. It really sounds quite unique. I'm glad you've enjoyed this topic, and you're welcome re: the print.:)


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

Haha, artistic? Not. I can assure you that my drawing looked like a Charlie Brown Christmas tree. But it was still fun. :)


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2277)   ranked 169 out of 26,919 in people  5 years ago

Seriously? I was envisioning something much more elaborate, but then I've always admired 'Charlie Brown Christmas trees.':)


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

Not elaborate, but not bad, either.

Thanks for the Best Response. :)

When I have the money I'm going to have some of my original photography blown up and displayed on my walls.

right now they are bare, and that's not a bad thing either...

But hopefully in the near future they won't be.

Mooch


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2277)   ranked 169 out of 26,919 in people  5 years ago

It sounds like you really enjoy photography, and it'll be great when you're able to display your work. Thanks for your response.
