52 Things – Decorate my living room wall

Here’s this week’s item:

15. Decorate my living room wall.

I’ve been dreaming about this project for a long time. I have this huge wall in my living room that was itching to get filled. I knew I wanted to put a lot of small prints there and I knew they were going to be from etsy but I spent a long time putting it off. When I finally bought all my prints, they then waited another few months for my mom to arrive and help me hang them.

I intended to hang them all next to each other but that wasn’t so easy and as they ended up being all over the place, I decided I liked that better so here we are. I couldn’t get a photo without glare as I have so many windows in this room so I got a few closeups and I will list each of the prints.

Here’s a faraway shot to give you a sense of the space. There will be a much larger TV coming very soon which is why the left side is open space.

here’s a closer shot of the wall:

When I was trying to decide what to put on here, I wanted all of the images to be happy and full of love. I wanted them to be fun and uplifting. A few months before I bought the rest, I had bought six prints from Kal Barteski whom I adore. Two of them were for this wall. This is one of them:

And the elephant in this photo is the other:

Here are the links to the two prints: Tiny Art 104 and Tiny Art 91

Other pieces you see in the above image are these lovely giraffes, trees one and two(not in this photo) from Stephanie Fizer, Mistletoe kisses, and the awesome boy chairs.

After I bought Kal’s prints, I saw Marisa, who is one of my favorite artists, put up this set of postcards and I bought them as soon as they were up. So now I had all the colorful art I wanted. I went looking for some blue and green and quieter images that made me fee happy.

I fell in love with all of the trees in Once Upon a Paper but finally settled on this clean, green one.

I bought several postcards, too. One of which was this love one.

I adore angels which is why I bought this top right print called Angels the minute I saw it:

And another one was this little girl (I love this artist.) Another print I don’t have as closeups is My umbrella which has incredible texture. And finally, I have a postcard that says you are so loved in green. Since loved is my word for 2010, I thought it was only fitting.

On the opposite wall, I hung this wonderful painting by Picasso that I adore:

And that’s it for the living room. More next week.
