my quest for wall art.

so our apt is still in much need of decoration. i'm just super picky about what i want to hang on my walls, and well also most "art" tends to be on the expensive side.

i find that i am such a sucker for photography, it's something i would love to do myself, but i don't have the adequate camera or the money to buy one. so i've been searching a lot of different photography on etsy (and looking in a more affordable range). my goal is to have something to put above our bed which definintely needs well...something.

*sigh* see what i mean?
right now i'm currently digging these prints from the shop ScarletBeautiful2. i think viewfinder photography is just so pretty. i love the sort of distorted/blurry vibe of them. i kinda would like to have these four, and i would matte and frame them in 13x13 frames. then i would hang them 2 by 2, in a sort of square shape to match the square frames.



what more, these high quality prints are pretty affordable at only $9, and the shipping isn't ridiculous. ($1.60 for one, 25 cents for each additional print shipped with it). i don't know i think i just might get these. i've been looking for months now and it has been hard finding something just right and i really like these. if i go through with it i will be sure to post a picture of the results. :-D be sure to check out her shop though. (the link is above).

pretty! i love that idea:)

i have a file of pictures from magazines, quotes, and cards and things that i use to collage/decoupage sometimes. i recently discovered that doing it on canvass yields a very satisfactory result:) i've gifted one, and now i need to make one for me!

i have many many blank canvases scattered around my house, i could always paint you something :) i love the viewfinder photography too! i've found big lots has some neat vintage wall hangings (not always flat art, sometimes it's a little 3D) but very cool and affordable :)

look for something in the mail towards the end of the week <3
