Third Times a Charm!

Hi friends!! 
Last week was a crazy week here with the kids starting school but I managed to fit in a few little changes... here's one of them.

I bought this painting last year from Linsey over at The Farmhouse Porch I love it... it's made an appearance in a few of our rooms but I think I like it in it's new home the best!
Here's what this spot in our foyer looked like before...

 then it went to this...
and now this...my favorite!
I bought the rustic looking frame in Hobby Lobby, I love the way it looks with this painting and it fills in the wall space perfectly.
I'll be showing the other changes being made around here soon. Have a great week!

    What a great way to fill in a large space AND frame a painting without suffocating either the space OR the painting! I'm stealing THIS idea!

    Wow, Martina! I'm going to have to remember you design trick! I have a couple of small pictures that just look lost on my walls. Adding a bigger frame is brilliant! LOVE the new look! Thanks!

    I love how you hung that picture inside a frame (not attached). It looks so pretty that way. Love the rustic nature of the frame too.

    I like how the rustic frame fills the wall around the painting. I think you found the perfect spot.

    The colors in the painting stand out beautifully against your wall color. Love the empty frame around it!
