We are just wanting to start getting art pieces that mean something to us but we do not have anything yet. However, we do always have an original up somewhere that my 3 year old has done!

Our longest-standing piece of art is a huge record-size steelhead my husband caught on the Columbia River. His grandfather that he was named after was there; that was Grandpa’s last fishing trip. Hanging next to the fish is a picture of my husband and his grandpa (and the fish) and a photo of the place they caught in in the Hanford Reach.
(yes, it’s a fish. Good taxidermy IS art)

My favorite has to be the thrift store find my sister got me of an old French-looking poster. It went perfectly with our master bedroom color scheme; it was fate.

My fave picture is a canvas my husband and I painted using acrylics and masking tape to paint stripes.
Ginny says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!
My husband is an amateur photographer, so our house it filled with his prints. I love it since there are a lot of sentimental photos from trips we’ve taken, but I would love to add some non-photographic art!
Tasha says

I don’t really have any art at this point but would love something to hang above my couch.

Unfortunately, my husband and I don’t have any pieces of artwork in our house yet! I would love to add some!!
Robin says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!
My favorite piece of art is the $5 one-of-a-kind oil painting I bought on a beach flea-market in the Dominican Republic. We got swindled on some “aged” rum and “fine” cigars but we love the memory our little painting conjures!

My favorite piece is a painting my archaeologist boyfriend brought me back from Ethiopia. It’s a vibrant oil painting of two bold blue “donkeys” – aka taxies along with two actual donkeys. Background is this vibrant yellow. Love it – but its small in an otherwise unadorned walls of a large room and its uber hard to find something else to hang with it.

My favorite art are these pictures of ballerinas that I have. They’re old and I have no idea how they got passed down to me, but I just love their vintage look.

Kara says

We have so many photographs displayed, it’s hard to pick a favorite. We definitely do need to add more artwork to our collection though!
Katie Tice says

My favorite one-of-a-kind art piece is a small painting I bought in Hanalei, Kauai while vacationing there with my husband. It is a drawing of a restaurant called Zelo’s which is where we had our first meal.
Jasmine says
“PAINT ME A PICTURE!” Despite creating a few pieces myself for my home, my favorite piece of artwork has got to be a two-toned purple flower shaped ceramic vase that my daughter made in Middle School art class. It’s unique and pretty just like she is.

My apartment is pretty devoid of art, but my favorite piece is actually a school project I did while in undergrad. I took a phycology class (the study of algae) and our final project was to create a series of algae presses (just like flower presses, but more unique). I have my favorite one hanging in my living room now.
Kate says
Paint Me a Picture! My favorite art piece right now is a piece done by my little brother centered around the quote “sometimes when you pray for a miracle, God gives you two” in honor of our 3 month old twins! It has a vintage flair that I love so much!
Teri says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!
My favorite one of a kind artwork is the gorgeous oil painting of my brother and I that my husband had made. It is from a picture of my birthday a few years ago, several months before my brother passed away suddenly. My absolute favorite ever!

Brianne says

My favorite one of a kind piece of art is a painting I bought in Prague. I pointed it out in a fancy gallery where my parents were shopping and it turns out that one of the salesman had painted it himself and it was actually affordable. Not only that, but it was the first painting of his that he had sold and had just been put up that day!

They’re not one of a kind, but I scored some amazing vintage botanical woodblock prints at thrift store. They don’t have a frame, but I’ve been thinking of doing a custom matte (maybe with fabric) in a large store-bought frame.
mel says
PAINT ME A PICTURE. My favorite piece of art is a photo collage I made from vacation photos I took.

My favorite piece of (one of a kind) art is a vase my little brother made in pottery class a few years back.
Christina says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!
I love to take photographs of where my husband and I have been. I have to say our bathroom collage is my favorite- it’s quirky- I took pictures of bathroom type stuff at a salvage place up in Massachusetts- hot and cold faucets, clawfoot tubs, and some dentist chairs. I turned them into black and white and did some photoshop magic to make them look old and threw them in frames we had in the attic.
SARA ALBERS says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!
My favorite one of a kind artwork in my house is actually 2….We have a beautiful photograph of my daughter that my professional photographer brother in law took last year in Sonoma. The second is a piece that my twin sister made me of a sweet saying on reclaimed wood.
Laura D says
PAINT ME A PICTURE…
Our home is full of photographs my husband has taken, from all over. And we love the sentimental and artistic flair it brings. But a big burst of color would be a welcome addition!
