I’m a country girl at heart, even though I live near the “big city” now (not really!) and I’ve always wanted a painting of a barn to hang in my house. I love barns. Especially old, rustic, falling-down ones. So, when my mother saw a raffle for a barn print by Ward Nichols at a local church bazaar, she decided to buy a bunch of tickets in hopes that we would win. And lo and behold, the ticket she entered under my name was the winner! Hooray! I never win anything! I think she was kind of expecting me to give her the print, since she bought the ticket. I told her we could share custody… that is until I saw it hanging over my bed. The end. My barn print! :) Thanks Mama!
It’s called “First Snowfall” by Ward Nichols and it is framed with a beautiful tan linen mat. The tones in the print are just perfect in my bedroom, so serene and lovely. :)
The linen mat also ties in nicely with the embroidery on the drapes and the tan linen lampshade.
The former bedroom art went to live over the mantel in my botanical inspired mantelscape. I think this art is a much better complement to the blues and browns in the bedroom. I also moved the family tree that was on the side wall to the hallway and put something else there that didn’t compete for attention with my new barn print. I think it looks perfect! :)
