Let me just say this… the other gals who already participated in the textures of home challenge are absolutely spot on when they say you just can’t stop ~ taking pictures that is!! I had really enjoyed each post that Jen from Taylors*Farmhouse* Attic had done several weeks ago showing us many of her textures, so last week when Carolyn from Primitive Devotion challenged us to show the Textures of Our Home, I decided to join in. I was busy with a decorating project and Liliana was here for several hours yesterday, so I am just getting to it this weekend.
Now it is easy to take pictures of a room or a gathering or area of the room, but it is much harder to just capture the textures in your home. Carolyn was right when she called it a challenge! Several other bloggers have already joined in, each in their own unique way. I decided to show my pictures without explanations or names. I hope you enjoy part one…
If you haven’t already joined in the textures challenge, what’s wrong with you peeps! Go ahead and grab your camera, set it on the macro setting, and get busy! I will even challenge my Webshots and Picture Trail and APP Forum pals to make an album of their textures as well! Now get busy and please make sure you let me know when are your done so I can stop by and enjoy your hard work!
Thanks so much to each of you for stopping Behind My Red Door today. Please leave a comment so I know you were here and have yourself a wonderful weekend.
And here is one more picture and it is just a tease… I’ll be back with the rest of the story early next week sometime.
Until next time - hugs, Linda

great pictures!
Love, love, love your pics. As I am sitting here looking- I'm trying to guess what each picture is and where it's at. Fun! Fun!
Thanks so much for posting and sharing with us all! Just want you to know how much I enjoy seeing and reading what you're up to! You're at the top of my list of favorites!
Can't wait to see what's next!
Hugs,
Shari
Wow, Linda!! I'm in awe of your pictures! You truly captured the essence of each texture! Amazing pictures!! Thanks so much for sharing!
I may try to take pics of mine, but it probably won't be for a couple of days.
Please take care; I just saw a tropical storm warning posted for Massachusetts. I hope it's not a bad one!

love the photos you took and all that texture..maybe I will have to get in on it..have a great weekend.:)
Wonderful Eye Candy!
Your stencil is very intriguing...looking forward to seeing more.
Enjoy your weekend!
WOw Linda! I love your texture photos! You did such a great job! This has been one of the funnest photo taking experiences for me. There's no right or wrong way to do it. Just to let your eyes focus at will.
Thanks for joining in. Looking forward to seeing what you gave a "tease" about!
Enjoy your weekend!
I find it amazing how different textures can add interest and dimension to our everyday lives, even without realizing it most of the time.
Your pictures are wonderful, Linda and it's obvious that you spent a lot of time thinking about the best to capture the varied textures in your home. Just think how boring our lives would be without them.
Have a super weekend.
WTG Linda, It is so exciting to see everyone pics, I have snapped some more for a part 2 post! LOL
Love the stencil, G-Linda...would that just happen to be the last project you have been working on in the bathroom??
Enjoy the weekend...

Missing the pictures of Liliana. :)

Well I've been behind the eight ball here on this challenge, what a fun thing to do. Great snapshots of behind the red door - as always a fun post. Looking forward to your full peek after looking at your sneak peek :). We finally have a beautiful weekend here at the farmhouse - not hot, but nice :). I'm off to the "funtoon" :). Have a wonderful weekend dear friend.

Hi Linda,
Your pictures are just wonderful. I love the colors of the stacked textiles. I thought for sure we'd see a little piece of Liliana in there, maybe some fingers or little toes or something like that at the end.
Yea, I kinda cheated by making collages because I just couldn't decide which ones to post and posting all of them would have taken all day. You can elarge the pictures to get a better look.
I can't wait to see that stenciling!!!! It looks gorgeous! Hugs, Loretta
What a wonderful array of textures!
Wow, great pictures. Extreme close-ups! I thought I would see a picture of some baby toes in there somewhere.
Love your blog!!
Donna
Linda,
Loved looking at all the textures from your home! It's fun to try and figure out what each one is. Thanks for sharing them with all of us.
hugs, Cindy
WOW ~ I absolutely love this challenge and indeed it was lots of fun. You have some wonderful textures and I can hardly wait to see more. It is absolutely addicting!!
Linda, how fun! I'm going to get my camera going this weekend around here. Loved all the pictures. AND you are a tease, is that new stenciling I see? Dawn
Hi Linda,
I would love to join in on this post too. Hopefully I will have some spare time this week.
I hope you don't mind that I used the same background as you. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it on your blog!!! And I LOVE sunflowers. I have many in my kitchen.
How is that grandbaby of yours?
Linda, love your pictures of your textures. Can't wait to see the rest of your stenciling :)Thanks for sharing, I love your blog! Have a great weekend!

Am looking forward to part 2.
Hopefully I will have my done soon.

Linda,
Great idea with the textures! I remember when you did now you see it, now you don't. I hide things too!
I think we may have used the same stencil. I will have to post a pic on my blog so you can see.

As always Linda thanks for allowing us a peak into your beautiful home!
Love ya,

What a fun post this was to look at! All your pictures came out so crips and clear... I might be up for the challenge. :)

What a gorgeous collection of textures, Linda! I look forward to your next installment...
I hope you're staying cool! We just returned from a day at the lake with friends. So refreshing.
You know what? Those are really good pictures. I wouldn't have thought textures would be so interesting. I always check your blog to see what you're up to.
Thanks for your kind comments and you should certainly come play with us anytime you're in the neighborhood - sista.
Carry on........
I am just now getting around to checking out this post. Great pictures! I am puzzled about the 10th picture down. I can't figure out what that one is. I may try this challenge too.
