I love re-purposing...Especially heirlooms

I love re purposing...Especially heirlooms.  When my dad and his siblings went through Grandma and Grandpa Larsen's home to decide who got what, and what grand kids got what, I was given the cool wall hangings that represented each of the kids.  I remember seeing these on Grandma and Grandpa's walls.  Happy memories.  Well I was wondering how that "harvest gold" color was going to work in my family room.  Well, I have made it work through the magic of spray paint, a few rags, and some sealer.  It is amazing how you can make something old look new, and be able to fit into your room decor.  I wanted to do something with this huge wall, but wasn't sure what, and now I have an amazing arrangement.  Simple, sleek, and yet holds some dear memories on my wall.  How I love pintrest and the other re purposing blogs I belong to. How do you think they turned out?  I think they look great.
