Artwork switcheroos

July 12, 2012 by Erin Heaton

The artwork in this house is in flux again. I guess that’s what happens when you bring new things in; some old things have to rotate out.

 

I took down my paint chip artwork. I was getting pretty tired of it, but the people on Pinterest never seem to get tired of it.
 

 

I added a couple of recent thrifty purchases (dogs & whale) and my framed psychic postcard. In fact, I’m noticing now that four of the pieces are from antique malls and the other one is a found object in a thrift store frame.

 

Let’s move to the hallway where I had a similar arrangement of frames going on. Some things had been moved over the course of a few months, so the before photo isn’t 100% accurate. But more or less, this was how it looked.
And now, not a whole lot different. The addition of a few recent thrifty finds. It’s not a major change, mainly because I didn’t feel like hammering in a bunch of new nails. In fact, I only moved one nail. 
 
I removed the whole bottom row of frames. They kept getting knocked off the wall. I should show you the baseboard underneath them. Totally chipped up and gross.
Honestly, one of the big reasons I’m even showing this minor change-up is so you can see I do actually hang up my thrift finds… eventually. Like the Disneyland plate above and the ski photo below.
Like many spaces in my house, this is a horrible spot to take a photo. The hallway’s only 2-something feet wide, and I can’t get any distance on the wall. Plus, it’s dark and gloomy, so this was the best photo I could get on the whole arrangement. Sorry for the glare!
