Stencil painted two foot down from ceiling. |
Here you can see the scallop of the stencil I used so I won't have to paint the complete wall. No painting where the walls meet the ceiling. |
Some are family and some are not. |
This is my grandma and her brother ages 5 and 1 1/2 years old. Grandma passed away at 93 in 2011 and her brother is 88 and still living. I treasure this the most of anything I have. |
Instant Ancestor! LOL |
These are wedding pictures of my grandparents, great grandparents and great-great grandparents! Notice some of them have black wedding dresses. |
Some collections - tassels I have made, vintage trays that I display on an antique header. |
Here you can see the scallop well again. |
Beautiful...beautiful job. I love the scallop you did...and the pictures are priceless.

Terry, this might be my very favorite part of your house you have posted so far. I think the scalloped stencil is so pretty. And to have so many family pictures and heirlooms....to me, that's what makes a house a home. My favorite part is where you have all the wedding pictures hanging together. The instant ancestors made me LOL! DId you hand paint the word family or did you get it from wallwords?
ReplyDeleteI bet people linger in your stairwell looking at everything!

Great idea to keep from having to paint a*l*l the way up! I have a simiar stairwell. I like how you have decorated it. It's hard, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteLove your old family photos.

This is really nice. What a lot of work to do the stenciling! I have the same picture frame as you - the white oval one on the top left. Mine was black and I painted it heirloom white, had glass cut for it, bought a mat and put in one of my own photos. Your stairwell makes for a great conversation topic for guests :-)
