I have had a lot of luck with Etsy-- its all about trying different key words to find something you like. I bought a nautical flag print of the name of the river of grew up on and one of my favorite framed pieces. When I was on vacation recently I bought a print from a local artist in destin and framed it. I may keep up that trend to have something personal from my travels. I've found that slow and steady wins the race when picking out art/prints. I'm also trying to phase out all my white IKEA frames and start mixing and matching frames of different materials and wood tones when Michaels has a sale- I find it makes my place feel more homey. One thing I do like to do is buy a wide matt when framing prints so that the overall frame is big and then makes the print in the middle stand out more. Thanks for the shout out. Sounds like you are finding your style. Can't wait to see it all done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701492188693379107.post-40638336859549466592014-07-10T12:14:38.441-04:002014-07-10T12:14:38.441-04:00I have some Ikea prints that I've had for abou...I have some Ikea prints that I've had for about nine years so no one has them anymore! LOL. Most of my wall stuff are photographs though, of us and our people. Some stuff I've picked up at Marshalls or in random shops all over the place. If I see something I like, I buy it - I know I'll work it in somewhere. SMD @ lifeaccordingtostephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884611147965544589noreply@blogger.com
