How much does your bedroom wall art cost?

[daisypaloma]

And what are they, if you care to share?   PIP would be great.  Thanks!

[babsbunny]

Maybe $25 each? I took 3 iconic vacation photos (like the Roman Colosseum), Wal-Mart printed poster prints (20x30), spray-painted Wal-Mart frames to my desired color, and hung them. They aren't museum quality, but they don't have people in them and they are generic yet very personal.

One of the other items is a framed copy of our wedding invitation.

[whitemerlot]

I have this

m.target.com/p/birds-on-branch-3-piece-11x11/-/A-14652201

And a laser cut lattice mirror in yellow also from target.

They were $25 each b

I need some more in there eventually.

One was free. We inherited a small crazy quilt from my grandparents. They had it framed. It is very old, but beautiful, with rich fabrics and intricate stitching, I used to play with it with my dolls as a child.

We have two signed prints from a guy named Jim Booth. Both are of places I went as a kid.

It's funny because DH and I bought them on our first trip to my parents house 16 years ago. Your post made me look them up. The insurance value of the one I bought is more than 2x's that of the one DH bought, even though, his at the time was far more expensive. It's just curious how the value of art is determined.

Buy what you like and what makes you happy for the long run. We have a mini painting from a guy named James Dean (he illustrates I love my white shoes) that I love every bit as much as much larger originals that cost much more. In our living room, we currently have 3 paintings my DD did. One of them is actually really good, and will remain (she is 8).

Set of 2 for $500

They are simple & original square canvas wrapped paintings of a flower blossom against a bluish background

Thanks, everyone.  So far, these are my contenders.  I don't really want to spend too much $, as we are in the process of selling the house. 

The first one is $105, and the size would be perfect over our cal-king size bed.  The bedroom's décor is shabby chic/luxe in blue/cream/brown color.

The second one is a set of 4, for $88.

Apparently I can't look at anything at this website without an account, and therefore I am boycotting it.

I bought two huge canvases, some paint, paintbrushes, and some newspaper and let my two favorite little kids go to town. I love them and they were so cheap. I get a good chuckle at their handprints and one random chicken lol.

Free.  A few things my brother brought home from when he lived in China that are surprisingly perfect for our space.  The other is a framed eidelweiss a friend brought me from when he lived in Switzerland.  Yeah, there are some seriously blank spaces.

[imojoebunny]

The two you picked are not my style, but I like the map more. Could you not get a map from your area, state, nearby historic, or national park, place you'd like to visit, and have it framed at Michael's for much less with more meaning?

Other ideas are framed house plans, or other large scale pictures..

[spunkarella]

We don't have a single thing on our bedroom walls. Maybe we should get something?

[scout8]

I like the map that you posted.

You might want to check Pier One too. I have a similar style/colors in my house and found quite a few things there with a lot of blue in them.

To answer your original question, we have very few blank walls in our bedroom, so I only have a couple of small prints I got years ago at Kirkland. I don't remember what they cost, but not much.

[thebulldog]

We bought a map at a little store in St. Thomas that has some islands we've been too and islands we want to visit and had it framed at Michael's during a sale

We also picked up a few small beachy prints in Spain we have hanging.

We have a giant empty hole above the bed for this unicorn photo or art we can never seem to find.

I have three medium sized starburst type mirrors above my bed. I wanted a set of 3 from Pottery Barn, but couldn't stomach the price. I found a duplicate set from Ballard Designs for half the price.

Depending on your decor, a large starburst mirror might look good and fill a large space. I know I see them often at Homegoods for about $100.

[yentl]

Probably $30 altogether...an old London map that I modge podged to a piece of wood and a Van Gogh painting from a flea market.

We have something almost identical to the map you posted in our dining room. Got it at a thrift shop for $15.

I love thrifting for wall art.

We commissioned portraits of our dogs from one of my friends, so they were more expensive than some of our other art pieces.

Here's her website: mindythomas.drupalgardens.com/

2 of our boys are featured on her colored pencil gallery (the 2 full body drawings on the 2nd page).  ETA - we bought them before she increase her prices, so we paid $500 for all 4.



We also have 2 watercolor greyhound themed paintings that I won in various charity auctions.  ETA - can't recall how much I paid for each - probably $20 for the top & $40 for the bottom - but the framing is what killed us.  Since they were unique sizes we had to get custom framing.  So I think we paid about $50 - $60 for each frame (and that was the least expensive, basic glass, on sale at Micheal's).




The majority of the art work in our house is greyhound themed.... lol it's a cult.

[blondemoment123]

Excuse the crappy pic, but these were like $20 each on etsy.

[redredwine]

We have a GIANT (30x40) cavas wrapped photo from our wedding. Its in black and white of us kissing under the Maui Banyan Tree. We're pretty small as its mostly the giant tree, so the tree is the focus.
I love it.
I think yiu can get them for around $100-200...i recommend going BIG with canvasses.

[Pom]

I like the Hemisphere print...are you getting the 70% off?


We have a giant red wooden sign over our bed that says:

Beware of Bears (inside joke, we have a weird sense of humor)

[lindyanne]

$0 bc we have nothing :*(

[raangoli]

We have two prints hanging side by side over the bed. I first saw them in London, but was worried about transporting them home. Thankfully, I was able to buy them from art.com. I bought a groupon (or similar) and so it came to like $150 for both to be framed I think.

[niq]

LOL I think our bedroom is the least decorated room in the house.

We put up one of the paintings from one of those wine+painting date nights. So, $50 and an hour or so of tipsy splattering paint around?

Maybe $35. It's a huge blow up canvas of a photo I took on Santorini - canvas was on sale.

I just "made" this for the nursery:



(Sorry for the size, I'm on the app)

It's an ikea ribba frame and a sheet of wrapping paper from paper source.

It's only 20x28, though.

[love1999]

We have a framed picture of me on our wedding day, 3 framed pictures from our first dance above our bed and then a three slot frame with a picture of our wedding cake, a copy of our wedding invitation and a picture of our kiss at the wedding.

[changedname]

We have a large photo from our wedding but its just our feet so I like it more than a regular wedding photo. I got the frame at goodwill. Very mm.

[daisypaloma]

Thanks, everyone!  I decided to swing by our local Ross Store and found 2 canvas arts with birdcage that's similar to the attached.  These will be hung on one of the empty walls.  And then a large flower on canvas that will be over the bed.  I'm not too crazy about the birdcage arts but it fits the theme in the bedroom and they are only $14 each.  Overall, the three items cost me $60, so very MM.



I took a photo of the actual wall arts but the lighting in my phone is pretty bad for tonight.
