<p>My niece, who just completed all her education and started her first &#8220;real&#8221; job — ;as a veterinarian! — recently moved into her first &#8220;real&#8221; apartment. When my daughter Veronica and I visited, I was suitably impressed and proud of course, but completely struck by her bare walls. &#8220;I&#8217;ll help you fill them,&#8221; I promised her before we left.</p>



<p>Since then, I have walked Atlanta Market, which, at a million square feet, is packed with wall art, and this weekend I head to Manhattan to walk NY NOW and Shoppe Object to undoubtedly witness a lot more. All the while I have been wondering, what goes into deciding what we put on our walls? After all, we look at it every day, so these images set not just the day&#8217;s mood, but quietly solidify our very perspective on life itself.</p>



<p>If you have some empty walls of your own to fill — or even a bare spot begging for eye candy — there is a prolific cache of vibrant imagery at <a href="https://www.shadesofexpressiondesigns.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shades of Expressions Designs</a> with which to fill it. Whether you are seeking a pretty landscape, an exotic locale, to feed a passion for fashion or sports, or just to gaze at a sweet furry friend, you can definitely find that (and a whole lot more) here!</p>
