I live out of town so can't really get to the shops all the time. If anyone has good shop suggestions that would be great too...I might have to make a trip to town. Thankyou Re: Where to get good art/wall decor online? 2Oct 15, 2009 11:55 am ![]() Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone knows of good places to get good (not too pricey) art or wall decor online?

I could not go past this post without putting my 2 cents worth in. Why don't you make your own art?? It is quite easy, fun and even addictive, so if you are game, just go for it i say. Re: Where to get good art/wall decor online? 6Oct 17, 2009 3:06 pm On the issue of DIY, I managed to make a few fabric prints for about 10 bucks that really look great. These are massive 1.5 metre by 1 metre canvas. Just got a bit of 2x1, nailed it together with a cross frame, then got some nice offcut fabric for a dollar. Usually its about $10 a metre. Stapled it down and it looks a million bucks.. Re: Where to get good art/wall decor online? 7Oct 17, 2009 5:13 pm Blog: http://bluemistkids.blogspot.com "Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark, and professionals built the Titanic." Re: Where to get good art/wall decor online? 8Oct 18, 2009 9:56 am My tip: go to a cheap shop & get some basic canvas frames. Go to Spotlight (or anywhere else that sells fabrics) - and get fabric to cover. Choice is endless. Staple gun the fabric to back & done. This is so easy - and really cheap (below cost less than $30 each room). If you get sick of the material - get some more & recover canvas. Also looks great in combinations of 2 or 3, or 9 (small square frames), etc. Here are a couple of my examples... search on here - there are heaps of other examples.

Re: Where to get good art/wall decor online? 14Oct 19, 2009 4:13 pm I'm trying to add a pic of some wall art I tried to make today please give your honest opinions if it's just plain hideous!!! I'm not sure if I like it where it is - whether I should maybe make another one and group it as a set of 4 (sqaure) and put on a smaller wall space - or just not use at all??? After a few looks at it I don't think I like it at all ![]() ![]() Happy for any constructive critisim or advice ta!!

What about making the fourth one with the flower in a constrasting colour, something bright that fits with your colour scheme? (Please feel free to discount my advice totally ![]() Re: Where to get good art/wall decor online? 16Oct 20, 2009 12:21 pm I agree with fairyblue, I think those pics are too small for that wall. Loved your canvas art you picked out. It's all the lovely finishing off touches that turns a house in to a home. Good Luck. Hello! I'm new to this forum and in need of some advice. Should I put an art piece on the blank wall and if so what should I put? Appreciate your help! 😃 0 1742 The plan (excuse the pun) ideally is to do just that and take the basic floor plans and elevations that we have bought and have a draftsman replicate them to comply prior… 2 1648 Thank you again Simeon.. I will call my certifier for that. Have a good day 4 9104 |
