My Country Art Gallery

For years I have had a beautiful picture over my couch of Jesus overlooking Jerusalem.  It was given to us by a couple in the first church where Mike was the Pastor and it has had a lot of meaning to us, but after almost 20 years, I am ready for something different.  

While I was searching the web for some ideas, I saw a picture where someone had put a shelf behind the couch, and used it as an art gallery.   I really liked that idea, so I had Mike build me two shelves that run the length of the couch.

In many of the places that I have lived, I have had built ins, and I could decorate shelves seasonally, which I love to do.   In this small house, I haven't had much space to do that, but with the addition of the shelves, I can decorate to my hearts content!  I also think that it matches my style a little bit better.   It was always hard to find art work that would "go" with my picture of Jesus.

What do you think?
