My First Whats on Your Wall Wednesday; Brought To You By The Letter "R"

To continue my green entryway and stairway I thought I would share with you what I did on the walls in this area. Okay I admit I probably need a 12 step program to handle my addiction to monograms. Monogram anonymous or something. So it was a natural choice to house my "R" collection. I had been buying "R's" where I could over the past year and collecting them for my family room wall. The wall in the family room houses a very large iron clock. But the rest of the wall was empty. I thought how fun to place "R's" all around it. I had been saving and searching for unusual fonts to use. Once my striped wall in my stair way was painted, the lightbulb went off as it often does, and I thought HERE is the perfect place to house my "R's". The one below was glued to a white canvas board that was re-purposed along with the frame (which I painted black) from a key display that I was tired of. Here is a look at the entire wall as it is now. The great thing is, as I find more fun "R's" I can just add them on!
A peek as you look up the stairway. I love the way the black plays against the green on green stripe of the wall. You can see my doggy print peeking there on the side wall.

Here are three fun dog prints I picked up some months back. I loved them, although I had no idea what I would do with them. Some of you may have clued into the fact that I love dog stuff!

When I bought these they hand a painted plaid mats in a sage green. That just wouldn't do against my Georgian Green walls. A trip down to Michaels to find some new mats. I had considered painting the existing mats and even considered adding a red tartan fabric to them as the mat. In the end though, I just settled on a plain red mat. Inexpensive and just the right touch. I love red and green. It is one of my favorite combinations.

In my home any area would not be complete with a touch of blue transferware. I added some to this wall that is in the entrance directly ahead of the stairs as you decsend them. I love the crisp blue and white against the green too!

Hope you have enjoyed my walls for this first Wall Wednesday. To find more participants visit Grits and Glamour http://www.gritsandglamour.blogspot.com/ Next week I will show you a collection that is very special to me and hangs on the wall of my study.
