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.

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!

I am not a fan of hanging the tv high on the wall, but I love how that tv blends in with the art gallery wall even though it is on a table. It has also just occurred to me that the tv could be hung on the wall but lower, at just above table height, and still blending in with the gallery. Great inspiration!
after the rain is beautiful!
Oh my! I love this one: http://www.20×200.com/artworks/4039-aaron-straup-cope-prettymaps-amsterdam. Being from the Netherlands this is my favorite and will have to get it. Love 20X200 by the way!

I love the Ideal Bookshelf series, especially "Ideal Bookshelf 5 TRE". My girls would love to have that hanging in their room: http://www.20×200.com/artworks/1937-jane-mount-ideal-bookshelf-5-tre
Love 20×200. Right now I'm digging the dump truck. http://www.20×200.com/artworks/2848-don-hamerman-dump-truck-1989 Maybe for our powder room or, more obviously, the kids' playroom.
It's really hard to choose a favorite…this is mine, if i had to choose: http://www.20×200.com/artworks/2417-paul-octavious-kite-hill
It looks like it's been really popular!
So many to love, but I would like to get this aerial map of Paris: http://www.20×200.com/artworks/2810-aaron-straup-cope-prettymaps-paris

I like The Denny's Parking Lot http://www.20×200.com/artworks/3069-esther-pearl-watson-the-dennys-parking-lot. I think it's hilarious because my husband and I met at Denny's.
The books you posted are nice, and my author husband would probably pick them, but I really love this owl as the owl is the mascot of the university I attended.

When I clicked on their site there was a winter picture with stairs and snow. It was riveting. I'd love to own that.
the geometric print is great. i've been eyeing the map prints from Stamen Design now for a while too.
I like http://www.20×200.com/artworks/3069-esther-pearl-watson-the-dennys-parking-lot. I think it's hilarious because my husband and I met at Denny's!
I love the Central Park, Model Boat Regatta, 1962!
My roomba just assaulted some art I had waiting to go up on the walls. I was devastated!! I think I would cry if I won. If not, I still need to get something to fill the void. I'm especially fond of the Cecily Brown prints. I also love the Apollo space images!!
I love the Christian Chaize prints as well. I'd love to have this one in the 20×20 size: http://www.20×200.com/artworks/3810-christian-chaize-apres-grande-12
I think the main reason I haven't pulled the trigger yet is I can't decide if I feel like $300 is too much to spend on a print? I do love it..

I'd love some new art- there are too many amazing pictures o choose from!
I would love to win this!!! I am almost finished redecorating my 10 year old son's bedroom, and I need some art for his room. His room is a subtle nautical theme, and I think this sailboat photograph would be lovely: http://www.20×200.com/artworks/4196-20×200-artist-fund-central-park-model-boat-regatta
