We’ve been in this home for a year, and we’re still slowly finding places to make it feel more like our own. Philip and I found some beautiful prints done by local artist, Sue Kouma Johnson, at our Catholic bookstore. We bought 3 of our favorite 8x10s.
From left to right, they are The Three Marys, Mystical Rose, and Our Lady of Guadalupe. Don’t you love the bright colors? I especially love her joyful representation of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Last week, I found some frames at Hobby Lobby that I thought would be perfect for them. They are wooden frames with silver paint that looks weathered–almost like reclaimed barn wood.
After trimming them to fit into the frames, Philip expertly hung them in our entry hall.
I am so happy to have more religious artwork in our home. More than that, they’re in a spot where we see them often.
The frames face the wall where we hung our family crucifix that we had blessed by our pastor at our GodTeens home Mass. (Our beautiful wooden crucifix that we received at our nuptial Mass fell and broke into a bunch of pieces. We are still searching for someone who can repair that one so that we can rehang it in our bedroom. Let me know if you know someone who can help us out!) We originally had a large print left by the former owners on the wall. The 3 smaller frames make the hall seem larger and open up the space. I’m glad I stuck with a subtle, uniform look to make them look like a mini gallery.
Do you have a favorite religious artist, website, or Etsy shop to share?
