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.
HERE.
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.
HERE
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!
Oh, what to choose…

Oh my, would I love to win this one! So many great prints to choose from.
Christian Chaize has been a long-time favorite of mine, but all my favorites are sold out! I need to see that water on a clear day. (I hope they'll get more prints in!)
Really loving Tiffany & Co. by Zach Nader:

Oh my goodness. I don't know how I could possibly narrow this down. If I had my choice, every wall in my house would be a gallery wall, and I'd just buy them all, but this one spoke to me. http://www.20×200.com/artworks/4066-brendan-george-ko-aquarius-from-the-barking-wall

Jenny, I just started reading your blog and am so hooked. I used 20 x 200 all the time for gifts, and it would be so lovely to win the give away right before the holidays. Can't wait to keep reading! XO, Hadley
I love to travel and I'm a big lover of vintage items, so this piece speaks to me:

I love the serene beauty of this one, although it's also a little sad:

I love all the ones that feature any aspect of Paris (I'm easy). Also Christian Chaize gets me too! My all-time favorite has been Clifton Burt's "think-make-think," but it's been sold out for ages.
I love this giveaway! I also love Jessica Snow's whole series: http://www.20×200.com/artworks/4183-jessica-snow-color-stack-series-5 and the Ideal Bookshelf pieces http://www.20×200.com/artworks/3880-jane-mount-ideal-bookshelf-364-nyc
Bonfire by Rachel Sumpter really jumped out at me and it took me a minute to realize why. I love the pops of yellow in the cool blue.
http://www.20×200.com/artworks/4156-20×200-artist-fund-vue-panoramique-de-lexposition-universelle
I love this view of Paris. It reminds me of a different more magical time.
I typically go for the more muted colors: http://www.20×200.com/artworks/1696-kurt-tong-gosling-lake
But this one is making me think twice: http://www.20×200.com/artworks/3254-michelle-muldrow-icon
I love the "More Books" print by the artist who did the Nature print: http://www.20×200.com/artworks/724-mickey-smith-more-books (unfortunately it's sold out at the smaller sizes…)
I can't decide between
http://www.20×200.com/artworks/3822-lisa-congdon-reindeer
(reindeer!)
or
http://www.20×200.com/artworks/3756-helena-wurzel-my-butt
(a butt, hilarious)
The balloon shot you posted is my favorite! I also like this swell (http://www.20×200.com/artworks/1202-stuart-klipper-swell-southern-ocean-near-50) and this flamingo (http://www.20×200.com/artworks/4153-sharon-montrose-flamingo-no-4). Thanks for the little art break!
love the map series!
I have been wanting this one for so long, and now it's sold out!

I've been leaning toward b&w prints with a photojournalistic feel and this is perfect.
