Wall art at Ten Gables


Hi Friends,
I hope you are having a great day! I got up really early today to get a start on my long list of things to do. I'm decorating for Christmas, so the house is a mess! I thought I'd show you a photo of one of my guest rooms that has a big paladin window looking out on the tops of the two huge oak trees in the front yard (garden, in proper English). I painted a bird's nest with mockingbird eggs around it. You can see the wallpaper border and the bird cage is for decoration on top of a shelf. The window treatment is a swag with a pouf that goes through a wreath, mimicking the twigs of the bird's nest. Needless to say, my decorating theme is nature in a feminine sort of way. I usually put up a small tree in this room with tiny bird's nest, pinecones and little birds on it, as well as pale blue Christmas balls that resemble the eggs in the nest. Haven't gotten that far yet!
Back to work! Have a wonderful day, wherever you are! Egretta

  1. Hi Egretta. Oh, I just love your birds nest painting on your wall. What a wonderful painter you are.I am always so envious of people who can paint when I can not even draw a straight line. LOL!A birds nest decorated tree is just the thing for that room. You will have to show it to us. Have a wonderful time decorating.
