Wall Art

When Dad drove up to visit this past fall, he brought along with him some really great black frames. He left a handful of them with me and took some up for Rita and Laura as well. (A special thank you to Aunt Rita for parting with one of the ones given to her, as I ended up being one short for my project) This is basically what they looked like when Dad gave them to us...a nice black frame with a motivational message and picture on them. And this is what they looked like after I added a Disney touch to them.
This is actually a puzzle that I put together a few years back.
This is on the wall as you walk in to our living room.

and this is looking towards the front window (the one on the left is the same one pictured above)

and this is a close up of the one on the right of the front window

the Mickey puzzle is to the left of the fireplace, and this one below is to the right of the fireplace

And this one is over the couch

Just another angle
We got these Disney pics a few years back from our post office in Creekside. They were being discontinued so were on clearance. Original price was I think about $20 for most of them, and we got each one for just a couple bucks each. And our sweet postmaster even hunted down more from other post offices for us. And to clarify, not sure if you can tell, but there are actually two different pics in each frame...they just fit nicely together in these big black frames.
So, thanks to everyone involved, we now have a DISNEY themed living room. Imagine that!
