Anyone looking for a spring refresh for your walls? Art prints or canvases are an easy way to fill wall space but there are alternatives! I was thinking about this the other day as I was contemplating an update to a bedroom wall thinking about what might look cool instead of framed or canvas artwork.

  1. Some really cool stuff on here Kate! I am not a macrame person, but I love objects on the wall. The teak circles, the woven geode and the acacia wood and wallflowers are so cool!!

  2. Thank you for these ideas! We live in SC but recently purchased a small condo in Florida which we are slowly furnishing and art is most important to me to make it fun and cozy.

  3. LOVE the carved wood diptych and so many of the rest, another wonderful list that I’ll keep coming back to for inspiration, thank you it made my day!
