While they're not everyone's 'cup of tea', portraits have been a part of mankind's
efforts to document the people who surround him since our ancestors drew on
cave walls. Incorporating one into any decorating scheme is visually arresting
and extremely cool.

If you have a chance to flea market or thrift shop this weekend,
keep an eye out for portraits. Whether you find antique, vintage or
contemporary portraits in oils or pastels, consider making the investment.
And remember - for decorating purposes, it's okay to buy ancestors!
I love these! Thanks for sharing with us how you can use portraits in so many different ways! My favorite was the "Home and Lifestyle" room! Love those colors!
