Ideas for Decorating Your Kitchen- by Jemma's Gems on Etsy

I love painting my colorful animals but, right up there with the excitement of creating is seeing how my collectors frame and decorate their living spaces with my art work.

My collector Yasmine A from the Netherlands! Sent me her photos of how she framed and decorated her very modern kitchen with my Giclee prints.
I love her modern black and white kitchen accented with her bright colors...
The 'Colorful Roosters' and' Organic Girls' cow prints add to the fun!
 
An up close view............
 
And what a clever way Yasmine displayed my 'art cards', with her Fleur de lis decorative hanging clips in the carved wooden frame.  I love the glass bud vase! a Perfect touch!
 
Thank you so much Yasmine A. for sharing your creative ideas in your lovely home!
I hope this inspires my readers and please visit my shop to see the newest additions!

#Happy Cow# Wall Decor-Etsy Collector Featured for Christmas! and 'New' Original Painting by Jemmas Gems

 
One of my Etsy Collectors Jonee S. just sent me her lovely picture of  my 'Happy Cow' that she framed so beautifully just in time for Christmas!  
This is the largest I've ever printed
 her 24 x 36 on a matte watercolor paper, which was a great call by Jonee as she wanted a 'life size' look with a more subdued finish! Bravo Jonee and Thanks for sharing!

Wall Decor -Smart, Easy, Affordable by 'My Collectors' on Etsy

I love it when my 'Collectors' on Etsy send me their photos of how they
framed my Prints!   This is from B.J., a very clever and creative decorator and Blogger;
B.J.'s pics  and story show how she framed my 12 x 16"  'Cow Girl' print.
 
This is B.J.s finished framing project (above) - and it looks so lovely in her living room.  Read about her journey to find the right frame............
 
"The very first store I went in...
HOBBY LOBBY...
                                                 had the PERFECT ONE..
 
How much more perfect than white with
black "spots"..
ok, I know they aren't
COW SPOTS...but close...

The problem...it was $60...but I knew those frames would go on sale for half price the very next week...and I knew I could wait for that sale..
$30 sounded MUCH better. 
 
I put a black mat and that amazing frame around
this sassy, cute little girl cow and
fell totally in love forever......
I TOLD her I loved her....."

Thank you B.J. for sharing!!! B.J.'s Blog Click Here

 It's a great idea to always check your local Art & Craft & Frame shops.   Many of them like Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Aaron Brothers etc. have frames and mats pre-cut and
all ready to go and when you buy one you can often get the 2nd at a discounted price, sometimes for just 1penny!   Or wait for the great sales like B.J. did.   Enjoy!
