I've been showing you photos of some of my completed projects lately and wanted to show you what I've done with them. This is my living room until recently it was just another lonely, empty wall. So, we placed and hung all of these samplers up. This is part of why I've been working so hard to try to get these pieces framed, even though that was more a case of me procrastinating than anything. And now after seeing the Sampler wall at The Attic it's clear that I need to get off the computer and get busy stitching! It's funny because standing in the room these samplers really have a presence and feel very large. But, I had to stand so far back to get them all in the photo along with part of the room that I think this picture makes them look a lot smaller than they really are!
If you look at the sofa you see two kitties, well this is where these two hang out a lot of the day. They can alternate napping and looking out the window so it's a perfect spot for them, even if I'm forever cleaning hair off of that blue couch. Oh well, small price to pay for the cats to be happy. :)
Love your sampler wall and your living room looks so inviting. The kitties have picked the perfect spot.

Your sampler wall is beautiful! I also love that it fits so well into your living room even though it has modern elements in it.

Love your sampler wall and your interior too! Love the brown/blue combination and yes those spots are perfect for the cats. Actually my dog likes to lay on the same spot on my couch!! :-)

Oooh, girlfriend! I want to come stitch in your living room! I clicked on your photo to enlarge it, and that gives a much better idea of how epic your ATS really is.. my favorite sampler, however, is the CHS on your end table! As soon as I spotted that, I remembered that I had that one in my to-stitch lineup. Best not let Katrina know. ;)

Thanks everyone for your nice comments! My style is definitely eccletic, more modern furniture/decorating tastes with samplers and stitching throughout. I agree that it just works, or I think it does! I'll take a close up of that Black Horse ranch and post it sometime soon, that was a fun one to stitch! And, I would love to have you girls over to stitch and see this wall (and the others...) :)
