Subversive cross stitch projects have been around for quite some time, but they never cease to amuse me. Before I make or buy a piece of art, I try to think of where in the house I will put it up. Each of these do a good job of suggesting a specific room or place they should be displayed. Most of the links below each photo will take you to an online shop where you can buy the original work, or a pattern to make your own.

Definitely a bathroom piece.

This one could also fit well in the bathroom.

Another very obvious bathroom choice.

For use with your books or display in your office space.

This one could go in the kitchen, perhaps.

I’m thinking this could go well with the bar area if you have one.

A definite must for the kitchen or bar.

In your front foyer, a welcome message for guests. Free pattern download for this one.

Again, bar or kitchen would work well for this one.

For the nursery, of course.

This one would be charming in a kitchen, or even a garage/workshop (loose connection to tools here).

One more for the kitchen!
