I love the different places you have found for displaying your lovely pieces.
What a great idea, Ann~Marie...hanging the pictures and pieces over your doorways. I have never thought to do that and it's nice that it draws your eyes upward. I really love the berry bowl collection you have hanging! Very nice!
XO,
Jane
Life is just too short to have all the pictures or pets I want to have. I love things of beauty too and I have a ton of pictures artfully hung like you do..it makes me happy! :D
All of these are very creative and fun. My favorite is the deer head. I wanted something like this to hang on my hood in the kitchen...still searching for just the right thing. Lots of good ideas you shared with us today...thank you!
I love every single one! I felt inspired last night and hung some pictures on my bookcase and thought, "Ann-Marie would approve of this"! Lol! I especially like the painting tucked behind the curtains and just peeking through. You do such a great job of showcasing what you love! :-)

Everything about your home is beautiful Ann Marie.
Not many could get by with hanging every single thing they like but you make it work, and beautifully. I once hung the mr and mrs silhouettes on my closet doors. So far, every house I've lived in since has only one big closet. Older homes have such charm. Art just takes on a new life. Love how all of yours looks like it belongs.
I am from the more is better school of thought too. I love lots of beautiful things on my walls. It just makes things more cozy and interesting. I'm loving all the wallpaper that adorns your home. Still looking for the perfect paper for our foyer. Mimi
Love it and you have such fabulous tall ceiling and wonderful wall space. Hugs, Marty
I love the way that you display your hangings. Looks wonderful ;-)
Love your doorway accents- I love to put things above doors too~ it really helps accent them! :)
I like to hang things over doorways when I can. I don't have the pleasure of those high ceilings so I am limited. Looks so pretty.
Ann-Marie I love the way you display all your pretty paintings and plates! Martina
My husband teases me for packing so much into every nook and cranny. He says I decorate as if it was still my retail store. Perhaps he is right. When I was paying rent, every square inch had to pay for itself. Being in the business also, perhaps you love to make use of every opportunity to display.
I say go for it. I love it!
i have an obsession too hanging pics/art on the wall, the more the merrier but yours are sooo gorgeous and they look elegant unlike mine that someone said it looks cluttered and messy hahaha but hey it's just me and i do love all of your pictures/artworks that you hung especially that cute Mr.Fox! great job! x Susan
love it.
You are a girl after my own heart! Quite a few of Earnest's kin hang high here!

WOW! I LOVE your style. Each room is so perfectly put together.
I have some things hung over doorways. I also have several berry bowls!
I'm looking forward to seeing more of your posts.
ps. I am your newest follower!
I love how you added art in unusual places.
Most of my art is low due to our ceilings. I love the height of your rooms.

Thanks so much for the inspiration, Ann-Marie.
The living room has an 18 foot ceiling. There is a triple (double hung) window on one end. There is sconce centered just above the window. The wall above the sconce looks so empty when viewed from the foyer, I've often wondered if I should hang something above. What do you think of that idea?
Enjoy my visits here so very much. Always find inspiring ideas.
You have such great style and an impeccable eye in every inch of your home! You have thought of everything, even above the doorways!! Love it.....and its those little details that count. Your room and entire house is exquisite!
I love that you placed them in places one wouldn't normally think of!

I love all your "unexpected place" hangings! I only have a few things hung in unexpected places, but you've inspired me to go for more. :-)
I love your decorating choices, and sharing the same need to hang paintings and objects over the entire wall is so akin to the way I decorate.
I once had a fireman give my home an inspection, he said if my house caught on fire and I told him to grab something, he wouldn't know where to start ~ lol.
You have a delightful home !

You sure do know how to mix it up! I love the different places you've picked to hang stuff. Thanks for the inspiration!
love the silhouettes in the kitchen aswell as the striped wall:)
Love all the special places and things you place there....looks great.
Hi Ann-Marie! Just coming back over to say thank you for linking this up to Inspiration Friday this week! :-)
Vanessa
Hi there Ann- Marie~ Just stopping back by to say thanks for sharing this at Feathered Nest Friday! Do you have snow again today like we do?
Lots of fun ideas here! Lucky you with all those tall ceilings...room to hang your treasures!
I am a total sucker for gorgeous clocks like yours. I think they're one of the things that really help to make a house a home. Actually, the same goes for all sorts of things on the wall - your collection is lovely!

Ann Marie ~ love all of your lovelies hanging high! We are in the middle of painting our kitchen/family room and I have been eyeing some spots above windows and now think I just may have to hang some plates or something up there! Thanks for your inspiration.
Have a wonderful day.
Sue
