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 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.

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

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.:)

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 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.

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

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.

That sounds like a lovely collection, weemam. I really love family photos too, and it sounds like you've got a little of everything. I can understand why you wouldn't want to be without any of them. Thanks for sharing.

I like wall plaque with saying on it and pics of the kids and hanging plates that type of thing. My favorite thing that i have hanging on my wall would have to be is a wall plaque that is a pencil sketch of dale earnhardt sr and jr in full uniform and there car below them. It is such a nice picture so much work and details.

I like wall plaques and kids photos too. You're the first to mention plates, and I think they're great to display, as well. Your 'special' wall plaque sounds beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I have family photos on the wall as well as on my wall unit.
I also have a couple pieces of artwork given to me as wedding gifts and a tapestry with Boyds Bears that my Mother-in-law gave to me for my wedding day. I also have a pair of Angels in beautiful wooden frames(also a wedding gift)...
All this said, I must say my favourite thing on my walls would have to be a picture of my husband and I standing by the water on our wedding day.
Thanks for another great discussion Mom!!

I think most people enjoy having family photos displayed on their walls. I'm glad you got so many, and varied, wedding gifts, that can be treasured in this way. The photo of you and your husband must be very special. You're welcome. Thanks for your response, heavenschild.:)

I have on my wall a framed cross-stitch design which I did myself. It's a picture of a beautiful country house in with an equally beautiful garden. It's my favorite because it took me almost two years to finish.

I admire anyone who can do such things as cross stitch, as it's something I've never attempted. I love pictures with country settings, as you've mentioned. Wow, no wonder it's your favourite, and I'm sure it's lovely too. Thanks for your response.

It's too bad that you're not able to display your posters. Hopefully you can find something that you'd both enjoy having on display. Thanks for your response, and welcome to myLot.
