LR Wall Re-Do

Hi Friends,

It's been a work in progress for several months

But it is finally finished (pretty much)

In 2003 when my husband first became ill

And I knew he would be spending more time in the LR so,

We decorated the living room with all of his favorite things

He and I were married in Bodie, CA 

His family settled Bodie in the 1800's 

They owned the Gold Mine and many of the businesses there

Mark always wanted to get married there even though it is now a State Park

The pen and inks on this wall were drawn by my brother David

He is a fabulous artist, I will always treasure these pictures

We also had many hunting, fishing and car racing items in the room

Mark has been gone to his new heavenly life for nearly 4 years now

So, I decided it was time for a face lift

Several months ago I found this sign in a little boutique that I love to frequent

I purchased it immediately and knew it was the start of a wall re-do

It took several months to find the other pieces to complete the wall

But I found just what I needed over the past two weeks

While visiting some of my favorite shops AND

Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market

I came home from work tonight

And quickly put together this flower arrangement

Not bad for 10 minutes :)

 And it only cost $11

 While at JITT I found those two fence posts which worked perfectly

above the sign with the flower arrangement in the middle

Here's the whole wall

If you remember my post about the new shop I found

I showed this photo below

And mentioned that I purchased two items shown

YEP, That would be the shutters right off the wall

LOVE THEM!!

They are so unique

Usually the shutter part would be horizontal

But if you notice, these are vertical and add more character

Well, there you have it

My LR wall re-do

I am pleased with the result

I have a few more things to do before I show the sofa it is above

What do you think?

Have a Happy Rest of your Week

Blessings to ALL
