Unexpected Art

Recently I shared ideas with art in unexpected places.  If you missed the post, go here.
Today, I'd like to share how I display art in my own home.

I have some sea life prints in mirrored frames.  Since there's a field in my back yard,
 I chose to leave the windows drapery free and placed the frames directly on them.
I also have a large vintage classroom pull-down map between the windows.

In my living room I layered a print over a garden gate.

A ceiling tile is my art on my screened porch.

I had a map framed in quadrants for our master bedroom.

I found this wonderful chunk of wood.
 It was almost two inches thick and already shaped into a half circle.
 My artist friend painted a scene on it for me.  It's layered in front of my pier mirror.

I used an old door as a frame for this pair of prints.

I add art as well as books onto bookcases.

I also applied architectural prints to the spines of books.

How do you like to display your "art"?

    1. Oh Lynn thanks so much. I'm always changing things so often, maybe I'll leave it alone for a while. Hmmm, what are the chances of that?
