I fell head over heels for these. They're very nicely done and a large size, plus they come as a set. Luckily for me I had my son (aka 'Eagle Eye') along on my thrifting trip yesterday. I picked up the one with the swans and thought for about 2 seconds whether I was going to purchase it or not, and while I was doing that he noticed the other one in the bin. Sold! (For $6 each.)
I've started collecting vintage landscape paintings to decorate the hallway up at the cabin. I saw the idea in some magazine where a lady did the same thing- just filled the stairway floor to ceiling with paint by numbers of horses. It turned out great, and I'm envisioning the same up there but with landscapes.
I don't know what it is about p-b-n's, but I have always loved them. Maybe it's the thought of an amateur trying so hard to get it right or the definition of the lines of color, but I have a bunch of them. I could very easily cover a whole wall with them and I just might!
Love these, very pretty! I think the paint by numbers have appeal to me because, (not only what you said), but they have the right amount of kitchy humor and still pretty, that they are fun! I have a larger swan, but have never seen this set!
ReplyDeleteThose are great. I rally like the fact that the colors are very vibrant.
ReplyDeleteBoth of those are wonderful! I like the side with the fountian, but I also really like the stone stairs too! Can't wait to see how you fix them up at the cabin.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever loan out ol' eagle eye? You've trained him so well!
ReplyDeletePBNs are so popular right now. You really got a great deal!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
ReplyDeleteThose are terrific! So's your little fella (not so little now, I guess). If we lived closer I'd try to rent him for thrifting excursions. :-)
ReplyDeleteHe would love to go thrifting with all of you! (Of course I'd have to come along too! ;) He's such a great shopper. My daugher, though, not so much...
