Bow Ties!!

I say if you have a love for something particular........

.....something like bow ties......

.....then, just go with it...

...that way, you're bound to be surrounded by things that make you smile. This winking little mug makes me smile every morning!

In our front hall, you will be greeted by this dapper dude....

This piece titled, "I Love That Tie!" is by Duke Kruse, a friend and local artist....

..at his grand opening a few months ago, I fell in love with that tie too and said "That piece is mine!" 

With the help of my creative framer, I was able to take my love for bow ties one step further, and if you look closely at the black frame...

...you'll see a surprise.....

I glued bow tie noodles to the frame! How else was I going to have a custom bow tie frame?? A girls gotta do what  a girls gotta do!

AND the Mr. Benny silhouette that resides in our front living room, finally has it's final touch!

It adds a perfect dash of color to the black wall....

.....and if you do happen to come to my front door, 

you will be greeted by this little guy....

....sporting a bow tie...because he's a classy little dude..... 

...and a perfect gentlemen! I think he needs a few more colors. What do you think??

Do you have a similar, silly, kind of love??

I hope this inspires you to find a few ways to incorporate the things you love into your decor!
