I realized I had been putting off hanging art in our living room for weeks and weeks because I wanted the gallery wall in there to be perfect. But this month, we’ve have a ton of house guests, so it pushed me to hang some art sooner. It never ceases to amaze me how hanging art makes a home feel personal and alive.
I like how the line of the staircase breaks up the arrangement. Those stairs are not cute to me (more on that later – ugh), so I feel like this is a making lemons out of lemonade sort of thing.
These are my favorites from
20×200 (who is offering up SIX gift certificates today!). I’ve got my eye on a few of these below. They are available in several different sizes, so I’m thinking about an over-sized print for another wall in the living room (which I think would help balance the gallery wall).
This one might be my favorite of the bunch
here.
I always liked
this book series, but I recently noticed one of the prints hanging in the 5th Ave. J. Crew, and the colors and the texture are unbelievable in person. Definitely on my wish list now.
I’m intrigued by everything Iceland has to offer.

I’m picturing this blown up very large with a simple black or oxblood red frame.
HERE.
A little geometry helps to break up any gallery wall.

Horses are such lovely, emotional creatures. Don’t you agree they make for amazing
art subjects?
I buy fabric on this street almost every week.

I love how pretty these balloons look in the morning light, but also I feel like they probably saw some stuff go down the night before, yeah?
HERE.
This prettymap series is clever. Is your city available?
I like how this print is sweet, but the double image keeps it from going into precious territory.
I can’t put my finger on why this one is so arresting for me.
HERE.
This artist photographs images, prints them out and manipulates them to create a new image and photographs the result. So cool.
I grew up in a place where fog didn’t really happen, so every time I come across a mist in the morning, I can’t help but be fascinated. It’s so dreamlike.
HERE.
The
20×200 site is jam-packed full of lovely, thoughtfully curated art prints. With the holidays right around the corner, I know I’ll be doing a little shopping for friends and family. I love that I have so many price options since most of the 8×10 sized prints start around $20.
If you’d like a chance to win the $200 gift certificate or one of the five $20 gift certificates, please look a little around
their site, choose your favorites, and leave a comment with a links on this post.
Contest closes Friday, November 2 at midnight. The winners will be chosen randomly and emailed – so please be sure to sign in or leave your contact info in the comment. Good luck!
It's so hard to pick favorites! I like the moodiness of this one:

I love the new city prints, but my favorite right now is the "woman's heart" print. http://www.20×200.com/artworks/4040-dw-kellogg-co-a-map-of-the-open. Unfortunately the size I would want is out of stock.

Jenny, your taste in art is so eclectic. I love it. I'm totally lacking in art in my house even thought I've been here for 5 years so the $200 gift card would be great. There are a ton I like however the paris prettymap is so cool because it actually looks like a flower in bloom http://www.20×200.com/artworks/2810-aaron-straup-cope-prettymaps-paris. I also like well being 1, not sure why just drawn to the colors. http://www.20×200.com/artworks/2810-aaron-straup-cope-prettymaps-paris

I have been stalking out Michelle Hinebrook's work on this site for months. http://www.20×200.com/artworks/2571-michelle-hinebrook-crystallized
I could stare at it all day.
Hope you and your family are safe and sound.

My favourite is the Stefan Ruiz photo of La Paz in Bolivia. Utterly amazing night time shot. I love 20 x 200.

Something that will give me nice dreams. :)
I love the deep greens in the photograph you featured by Chikara Umihara (Eroded in the Silence). Besides that one, I love David Welch's cheeky 'Shopping Totem'. Large scale in my hallway – it would be so good!
I love this one of Brooklyn Bridge. I recently spent some time Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass (DUMBO)and fell in love. I always thought Brooklyn was a dead-end of NY – it's quite the opposite – where else can you get this view of one of the greatest cities in the world.
I will sit and daydream about Brooklyn if I buy this.
