Vintage Card Table Turned Wall Art

By DIY Maven

For the last 2-1/2 years I dreamed of artwork for my foyer with a 17 high ceiling.  No extra funds puts a slight damper on those dreams.   

Filed in the 'how clever is this?!' folder is Candy's use of an old card table as wall art. She noticed a stack of them at the side of the road. When she spotted the black and white table in the pile, she knew where it was going and what she was going to do with it. Home and on the wall!

Ten Picture Arranging Guidelines

By ModHomeEcTeacher

created at: 2009-03-06

Photo from The Style Files

Lately I've noticed more than a few picture arrangements being hung curiously high on the wall. I'm not sure if this is due to a bona fide trend, or if individuals (close friends and relatives of mine) aren't aware that there are, in fact, some general rules to follow that bring cohesiveness and balance to an arrangement. » READ MORE

Push Pin Wall Art

By lilybee

A few packs of push pins, a pin board, a dash of inspiration (and possibly a little too much time on your hands at work) And Voila! Gloriously geeky wall art!

created on: 12/31/08

It's Mario. and push pins. and genius. Golf claps and whoop whoops to you, clever chaps at  the Student Computing Center at the University of the Fraser Valley.

Personally I just don't think I'd have the pushpin-application chops to do this freehand like these guys, but maybe some square lined paper would keep things from going wonky.

Have a peek at the close ups, they really are pretty awe-inspiringly marvelous

Flat and Functional Furniture

By DIY Maven

buroJet’s Plano collection looks like funky art, but it’s only art when it’s not being furniture, which, by the way, takes up no floor space. A very interesting concept that would be fun to try to DIY! Via.

Fine Art Quilting

By HillaryJohnson I just bought this art quilt from artist Monica McGregor to hang in my living room.  It is hypnotic, complex, and very jazz era cubist. If DeKooning were a quilter, I think this is what he'd come up with.

Cuter Closets

By sortabella

Totally brilliant idea: MommySavers.com suggests paint pens or permanent markers to decorate walls. It's one of those thoughts I probably harbored subconsciously for most of my childhood and never tried for fear of my mother's wrath.

But now that I'm all grown up, I think I'm going to give this a go--except rather than writing quotes on the wall as the MommySavers article suggests, I'm going to decorate around my closets. I have two side-by-si » READ MORE
