Wall art or Photos? | Pad Patter 2.8.19

I have all of the above, mostly photos of the grand kids, some art and cross stitch pieces.

 

this is currently on the wall in my creativity zone

 

I have a mix: photos old and new - including the kids' school photos, quilts, original art, prints. I picked up a wonderful print in Mexico that I just love. I'll post it when I get the photo of it off my phone. I love to support artists when I can. Here's the link to the artist - he does amazing work! http://www.arteajijic.net/mural_english.html

Here it is:

 

We have both- a few paintings that my grandma did before she passed (they aren't "great" but they mean so much to me!), one art piece that I've had forever, as well as some photos I've had made to canvases. We also have a "W" wall- we've collected w's wherever we go!

I will look for some photos!

 

I have a little bit of both. My fave thing to do is make a gallery wall...a mix of photos, art from the kids and antique finds.

Right now I'm wanting to do something in my hallway up our stairs...we've lived here for over 3 years and I still can't figure out exactly what I want to do.

 

We live in a rental so there's not much on the walls. It's not home & my husband's penchant for buying ugly-but-cheap furniture from his work just makes it worse. Whatever I would buy to make the walls beautiful would just further underscore how ugly (most of) the furniture is.

 

I'll have a blank canvas in Florida. I'm going for a mix of both . Art, my photos and some wall art.

We shall see.

 

Almost all art, tho actually we have very few walls post renovation. I have mostly prints that I bought around the world but I have one 16x20 photo ( the stones of Avebury) propped on a desktop in my bedroom. I used to have family photos pre this marriage on a piano which also went back to a man I dated. He was an Indian giver...I know there's a better phrase for that kind of thing but I don't know it.

 

Almost all photos. It's partly the indecisive thing--I get intimidated thinking that if I buy something, I'm going to have to love it and look at it for years. Photos that I took are inexpensive enough that I can change them out any time I want without thinking twice about it. (Now ask me if I do...no, I put photos up and leave them there for years, LOL.) Plus I can mix and match photos easily, but mixing art requires more skill.

 

When we first married, it was all art on the walls. After the kids came along, I gradually replaced all the art with photographs. Then we painted the walls and I haven't put anything back. The walls are so pretty and they need something special, not five year old photos. (The perpetual dream -- that I will update the photos and then return the frames to the walls. Hasn't happened yet, but I still say I'm going to do it!)

 

I have both photos and art on our walls at home... but probably more art than photos. I'm awful about deciding which photos are good enough to print. So dumb. Lol. And pretty much all of the art are things I've made myself. I paint quite a lot and honestly I've run out of room to put anything new! Oops!

 

Both.
I have scrapped photos that tell the story of DH and I through the years (so far!), my letterboard, munchkin's art he has made, lots of school stuff (phonics, white board, etc), and real art downstairs.
Then, upstairs we have framed photos, framed scrap pages, and a few pieces of art. Munchkin has a ton of posters in his room, along with scrapbook pages he loves. He hangs everything with white sticky tack or washi tape.
