Need colour on that wall

12 years ago
I need to replace B&W art on the wall and I love these posters on hard placket board( 31''x 21 ') but I am afraid they would be too much or too cartoonish ,not sure how to describe. I haven't purchased them yet .What do you guys think? Thanks

    Kimdee24 hello from Ontario :)
    I think I will go and get them tomorrow. I went there tonight and they look better then in this picture that I posted .

    The fact that you didn't buy them right away speaks volumes .... be sure you love it! Taking it home and trying it out is a great idea.

    Be sure to check out Etsy.com for art ... much of the art there is very reasonably priced and the artists can work with you on getting specific sizes & colors for your space.

    Kat Shoa is one of my favorite artists there .... here is an example of her work:

    I doubt very much that they are vintage since they have been plaqued. ( sorry is that the right spelling?) They are most likely photographic repos! But they are bright and fun and honestly, where can u get anything like that for less than 55, I'd go with three myself. Cut out paper in the sizes and stick them on the wall to see how the shapes fit the wall.
    Where in Ontario are you???

    Oakville. You?
  • 12 years ago
    Lol Oakville too! Where's the store? Milionaires Daughter?
  • 12 years ago
    I looooove these vintage posters. I wanted them in my last house and now our new house we have literally no space in our family room.
  • 12 years ago
    I love those, and they are a great price. I have the one on the left in a smaller format, and two other vintage repro posters. Can't go wrong!
  • 12 years ago
    LOL gghess
    Are you serious?! Its a small world :)
    What part of Oakville are you in? I am in SW Oakville.
    It is not that consignment store it is the other one on Speers Rd closer to Bronte Rd.

    This is the manager of the " Bronte Sisters use Spears" store at cnr of Speers and Bronte. Come and buy the prints already!

    LOL chookchook2 I am poor working class, so I must spend some quality time at work first and then go shopping !
    ps .Spending time on Houzz during working hours qualifies as quality time too. :D
  • 12 years ago
    We love secondhand and vintage shopping. It makes a personal house.
  • 12 years ago
    How do they look in this home? Love the posters and frequently recommend them to add color and interest to a room. Bring them home and try them out...return them if they don't work.
  • 12 years ago
    I cant bring them home,i asked. :(
    But that room above is one of my favorites. So unless gghess goes there before me and buys them they will be mine LOL

    I love posters and have vintage and reproductions pieces throughout my home. I also agree that posters can add a lot of color to a room, but most importantly, many are just really great conversation pieces! I believe for the most part that our homes, and how we decorate is a reflection of our own personal tastes and personalities and that people should furnish their homes in a way that makes them happy. I also believe that no matter how large or small your space is, you can make it look like a million dollars!

    I have pretty little pink plant on my coffee table-Christmas Cactus and last week I secretly decided (secretly -because I have a husband and two sons ) to add some feminine accents like pink pillows but now these will make me change my plans!

    gghess my hart skipped a beat!
    But in the next second I said oh well ,they were not meant to be mine.
    I like these two .Not sure about third one .
  • 12 years ago
    Which one ?
  • 12 years ago
    I love the genie!
  • 12 years ago
    Gina I bought two. :)

    Post an "after" picture.

    I had to make sure that I can fit 3rd one,it will be perfect spacing. But which one?i like Genie better (cafe Martin) but it is a bit burgundy-pinkish, would that be wrong with other two that are red,yellow,teal?
  • 12 years ago
    Sondra, Go with genie. The other wine one looks too similar to the wine one you bought. I don't think the burgundy color will be an issue at all. Just loving this art!

    Karemore glad you know which poster is the original poster about the posters and not the answering posters about the posters, most of whom want to get the poster instead of the original poster.
  • 12 years ago
    They get on so well , expect to see them all in the same 4 poster.
  • 12 years ago
    Chook, you know me - I'm not an imposter!
  • 12 years ago
    LOL no you're genuine as they come.
  • 12 years ago
    Chook, I would say that is preposterous but, well, you just flattered me lol!
  • 12 years ago
    I kind of new that pillows won't work any more.
  • 12 years ago
    Somdra, I see what you're saying now, the B&W pillows will still work. You just need a different red for the other pillows now. Not sure if either of these will go, but first one is ginger color from West Elm, and second is Spice color from Pier One.
  • 12 years ago
    Although, if you got Florio you could have a lot of fun! Maybe play down the red and play up the black.
  • 12 years ago
    I hate Florio's fat legs. :p
  • 12 years ago
    Well, they're all kind of weird looking when you stop to think about it - but nothing a nice glass of wine won't cure!
  • 12 years ago
    Then you would hate my fat legs!
  • 12 years ago
    Ginger is hot right now but I'm not seeing it in the three pictures.
  • 12 years ago
    The genie has a nice green sash that will be a hot colour next year and would lend a nice contrast to all the red . Go to Pantone 2014 for the green.
  • 12 years ago
    Chook, I think it's 2013 for the green - emerald was their color of the year for this year. So, everyone who bought anything emerald - it will be out of date in about 6 weeks lol.
  • 12 years ago
    Chook, Rule no. 1 for anyone over the age of 40 - always have a glass of wine before you look at your legs!
  • 12 years ago
    Chookchook2 I picture you with chicken legs :)))
  • 12 years ago
    Yummy colours for you all xo
  • 12 years ago
    Had chicken legs till adult.
  • 12 years ago
    Emeralds are never out of date, I'll have some for Christmas please. No, was not emerald I meant, try the alcohol one, Absinthe green.
  • 12 years ago
    Or dazzling blue

    We love it when our décor items find the perfect home. We're glad you liked them and they look absolutely gorgeous in your space. Great idea to get the third one! Three truly do make a statement. Come by the warehouse this weekend, we've got unbelievable stuff coming in tomorrow.
  • 12 years ago
    LOL Steal, you guys found me! :)
    I am coming tonight to get third one(Café Martin) and then I can finally hang them. :)
  • 12 years ago
