Big Wall Art

We've got a couple walls in the house that are sitting empty, with no art up. Alan and I have a pretty big art collection between the two of us, but we just haven't gotten much up yet. Looking at these empty walls today makes me want something like a big collection, or a dramatic pop of color on them.

So pretty and colorful.
This piece is made with cut coffee filters and tacks.

I adore this wall.

As always, typography catches my eye.

I have a soft spot for rabbits.

This would suit our style best, and if made with painted contact paper it could be easily removable.

Pops of Color

While surrounded by fields of white snow, I am dreaming of color. Being stuck in the house for several days made me so happy to be surrounded by pattern, texture and color. Here are some houses I love with pops of color that spark my imagination of things I want and could mostly make myself.

This is a play room "rug" made out of those puzzle-together floor mats and paint! Brilliant!

Do we think I could pull off a wall of wallpaper samples decoupaged together like this? Do we think Alan would let me? Hmmm....

Where can I find a lamp like this?!? I've gotta have one.

The white walls! The dark floors! The amazing color carry over on the transom from the next room over! Swoon...

What a fantastic graffiti art wall. I wish I could be so imaginative.

This kills me! I have got to find an ornamental mirror and paint it exactly as seen here.

Beautiful mix of pattern and color.
