Friday Favorite: From the Collection Of...

This week, I wasn't inspired by just one item here at Found, but by a collection of things. More specifically, our collection of art. For those of you who haven't had the chance to visit us yet, I can tell you that we have art on almost every single wall. I wanted to shine the spotlight on one wall in particular though. Among the pieces on this wall are this beauty and this nude lady and this flowering vine. Individually, each piece is fantastic in its own way. But what I love most, is the composition as a whole. It isn't easy to achieve such an aesthetically pleasing wall with these different pieces, but Caitlin and Tyler did a great job. Check out Caitlin's post on how to achieve this look at home.



A similar wall exists at Kate's Place. What a yummy combination of dark walls and bright accents in the art and bedding.


Erin Gates posted this image on her blog elements of style. By choosing to do a "frame wall" you can really speak to your own style. You can play with colors, spacing, art, photographs, whatever! Stunning.


I love how India Hicks makes this idea fresh by showcasing her art and photos above a doorframe. Please tell me if there is even one person out there who does not want to invade her Island right now and live there forever!


This collection of art, belonging to James Merrell, provides a great example of how to spruce up white walls. Never boring with your own personal touches! And the chandelier - so love.


As I mentioned, walls of art and photography can basically be any style you want them to, therefore, complementing whatever your personal style is. James' photo from above shows a modern setting. This photo below, from Cottage Living, is an example of a wall of art in a completely different setting. They have truly combined various pieces to make a great statement.


I have my own "frame wall" at home. Do you? If not, I hope I have inspired you to create something of your own. For those of you who have a wall but are looking for an addition, you know where to come for some great art!

Have a lovely weekend. For those of you in SF, enjoy this gorgeous weather!
