So as much as we got done filling and decorating our empty front room, it still needs a few more things. And one of those things is art. And one of the art pieces I wanted in the room was egg prints. See examples below.
You can get actual old pages from books or reproductions. I didn't have strong feelings one way or the other, but the frames I had in mind didn't fit the old pages, and reproductions are cheaper...so a decision was made! ha! (I had bought nice frames a while ago from Pier1 that fit an 8x10 print, that had a nice burlap like mat and distressed white frame.)
I browsed Etsy, my go to, for quite some time picking the right ones. I found these and decided to take the plunge!
I was worried about the digital download but I figured for just a few dollars it was worth trying. And Success! So don't turn away from the digital downloads kids!!! : )
I printed them at Kinkos, but the dimensions weren't working, so I messed with them in photoshop a bit, went to Kinkos again, still not right.....SO I decided to steal company resources and print them at work so I could keep tweaking in photoshop and not have to make a drive in between each try!
I am very happy with them, so classy if I do say so myself!
Speaking of Digital Downloads, I also considered getting these. If you are in the market for cheap art in general, check out all the other fun stuff this vendor has.
One lingering question....Did I hang them too high??????
haha I know art should be eye level, so in that respect they are too high, BUT they are centered nicely on the portion of the wall between the ceiling and the start of the angle of the stairs. Please weigh in...they are up with command strips so they can easily be brought down a bit....oh "failed attempts at being fabulous", I try!!! : )
(P.S. Don't remind Colin that these get me one step closer to being the crazy bird lady!)
