Hunt Scene

Being the - ahem - age that I am, I remember when hunt scene decor was popular way, way back in the late 80's/early 90's.  Oh how I loved that look! But alas, I was also deeply in love with ducks, hearts, and teddy bears (well, it seemed like a good idea at the time!) - so no hunt look at my house.

Fast forward, and of course, my tastes have changed many times over, but I have always been drawn to hunt scenes.  Recently I found a sweet little oil painting of a hunt scene and I finally brought a little touch of that look to my home.

It's a bit weather-beaten, and frameless, but it has a certain charm to it. It was a great deal at $36.00 from a favorite antique store. I think I will leave it this way too - at least for awhile.  I have not found the perfect home for it just yet, but since I cannot be patient I took down an existing picture to put this one up.

For now, it hangs above my antique youth chair, which is currently in service as a plant stand. Obviously, it's not hung properly but again, I just wanted to hang it up so I could gaze upon it's loveliness until it has a proper home!

So, after twenty-plus years of first wanting a hunt scene picture, I finally have one. It's funny how fads and trends seem to recycle themselves if you wait long enough.  (However, I am hoping the ducks/hearts/mauve movement has been laid to decorating rest - I just can't go back there! Ha ha!

Is there anything you used to decorate with that has now come full circle and is "in" again?

Wishing you happiness,
Jane
