The majority of the art in my place is super cute(and affordable!) Etsy finds, but my favorite piece is probably an asymmetrical Union Jack flag inspired painting I did in shades of blue and green. It was just a fun afternoon project, but it definitely adds some bold color and pattern to the area above my desk.

Paint me a picture! My current favorite is a painting of Bea Arthur giving a tyrannosaur a noogie. My best friends gave it to me as a vet school graduation present and it never fails to make me smile.

I have a shadow box in the living room with the cards my husband and I gave one another on our wedding day, as well as some wedding flowers and pearls. It’s a little cheesy, but by far my favorite original “art” in the house.

I LOVE old people and am going to college to be a nurse (geriatrics, whoop whoop!)… for our birthday, my twin sister painted me a canvas, recreating the same picture that’s on the mantle in the Pixar movie Up. Love!

I have a beautiful canvas from http://www.Chiasso.com. They don’t have the one I bought anymore, but it is of coral. Very Beachy.

My favorite (and I think only) one of a kind piece of artwork is my wedding certificate signed by everyone at our wedding. I love it!
Serena says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!!!
Don’t laugh, but my favorite piece of art in the house was painted by an elephant at the Nashville Zoo. She only paints a couple times a year, and we ended up buying one of her black and white paintings because the others didn’t quite fit our home’s colors…It’s definately a fun convo piece- not only because it looks like an image from an ink blot test (so everyone sees different thins in it), but also because…well, how many elephant painters do you know?? ;)

paint me a picture! i have a lovely ocean scene in the painting in my living room. Found in while walking through a fair at the beach in florida! The artist also donates a portion of proceeds to a charity in india, so i didnt mind shelling out a bit of extra dough knowing it was going to a good cause!
Sarah C says

My favourite piece of art right now is a painting my husband’s father had made for him before we met. It’s of a canoe on a beach, and it’s based on a photo he took while visiting my hubby when he was a child living in Igloolik, Nunavut.

We just bought our first house and, unfortunately, don’t have any one-of-a-kind pieces yet. Actually, our walls are looking pretty barren. I’ve got some DIY projects planned though. :)
Lindsay P. says
“PAINT ME A PICTURE!” I’m not sure we own any original art. We have one oil on canvas that might be…a pretty field with rolling hills but for all I know lots of people might have it!
Kristen says

My favorite is a mixed media background created for a magazine shoot. It’s mostly made of papers sewn together, but also has a twig and a scrap of denim. It’s unique!

We recieved a dark wood picture frame with 12 spots for 4×6 pictures in a grid. I glued a pressed four-leaf clover to a piece of white card stock for each spot in the frame, and it’s the most commented-on piece of artwork we own.

Aside from my kids’ artwork – and I’ve got a few favorites there – I have two Ernest Lee originals. He’s a Columbia, SC, artist who’s well-known for his ‘fancy chicken’ paintings. As it turns out, neither of mine are chickens – but I would really love to have one of those, too!
Claire says

My current fav art is some my husband and I picked up on our first anniversary. Beautiful, colourful beach scenes.
Caitlin says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!
I have a few old-time (early 1900’s) photographs that I brought with me from my childhood home. I found the photos (and all sorts of cool antiques) while searching through my house’s basement as a kid — the previous owners, and the owners before that had left a lot of things behind.
One of the photos has beautiful handwriting on the back: “to Elizabeth – from your loving friend, Ethel”
Jenny says
