Wall Art That's Different?

16 years ago

Sometimes we want something different for our walls. I've seen gates and old window frames, horse collars, skis and swords and flags.

Sometimes we might want to have a painting that is presented in a different fashion though. So this one appealed to me when I found it in the Pottery Barn catalog. Yeah, I look at it and see a lot of things, some of which they are selling!

This is a frontal view of a big bomber. It is painted or maybe just mounted with glue/whatever on four panels that measure 24 x 24 EACH. That is one big bomber!!

I can see this kind of picture behind a long sectional, especially impressive if you see it on a wall opposite the entry so it has a huge impact.

Does anyone else have some...or maybe not HAVE, but have you been stopped in your tracks by some wall art? Here is

mine....

I just have my Slaymaker's. I'll post pics after I get moved and hang them.

you could do something similar to what you posted with lots of photos. Like however many panels needed for your furbabies, a favorite landscape (like your yard), etc.

you could use a pic out of a magazine or from a calendar also.

Like Steph, that idea would be very easy to recreate by taking a photo you like (or print or printed) and have it enlarged to the size you need. Then deco it on old boards. I know my photo software now provides great stitching for multiple photos.

I'm not sure how picky the stores are now for enlarging copy righted prints, they should be but sometimes you can get away with it. I did it once and didn't realize til after, this really is against morals if anything.

There are a lot of art books too which you might look through and buy for just the right picture. Or Hobby Lobby and some of the art print/poster sites sell just the thing. Watch for half price sales, coupons, etc.

Think too about these art items being sold through catalogs. Once they begin, the item will be available all over and you can buy for a lot less. The big outlet stores will have them start showing up.

Did you read the reviews on PB? Looks like you could do a far better job than what the buyers received. Also, oddly this is being sold on ebay for $100 more than PB. Where have all the deals gone?

In answer to your first question. I have snow shoes on the wall in the fall/winter. Now playing with antique door plates for a display. Plus art, love it when I find something that keeps a dream going.
