We've been framed!

Of course it does!

I have the distinct advantage of not having seen these fancy framings in Disneyana. If they're as cool as they sound, I'd probably be tempted to theme the frames, too. Though in my case, that'd mean bamboo all around. And while that would go with my very Floridian furniture, I don't want to "theme" my living room that much. My entertainment unit is already a completely different style. I don't want that ultra-modern stuff to feel too excluded.

Yeah, it's nice that we've got 5 distinct themes to work with.

I thought you were "Gardening."

I so forgot about the Alice one. Yes! Yes! Mail me some art!


GD . . . 5 different lands/themes for 5 different rooms? Have you decided where to hang these yet?

If we HAD 5 different rooms...

Maybe when we move out of our apartment to a (hopefully) bigger place with enough rooms, we'd "theme" 5 rooms around each. And by "theme" I mean use a complimentary color pallette, no way you'll find a fully themed Frontieland room wherever I live *shudder*.

But for now, we're probably going to hang them together. Our little dining corner seems like it'll be a good place, lots of wall space. It's actually got 2 walls 90 degrees to each other, so we can break the set up instead of bunching all 5 togehter. It's our little classy corner, with a curio cabinet and our growing collection of hangable travel souveniers (plates and tiles from Italy and Mexico respectively). Currently, the area we plan on using is covered in family photos and our big wedding portrait. The portrait will probably move into the back bedroom and the family photos to the hallway.

After all that description we're required to post pics of the finished set up, eventually.

I guess that's the difference between decoration and art. And, doing something fun with a $15 print is cool and decorative. If these were originals, I'd feel differently, I suppose. Still, mine are going in the same simple black frames that the rest of the "gallery" is framed in.

Whether you paid $15 for the print or $10,000 for the original, you're still getting the same work of art.

I love Shag, and since we used his work as inspiration for this board, his stuff means so much more. To have a work of his on our wall, representing our love for Disneyland, plus giving it a proper themed treatment...it's awesome.

Ummmm, no. Not by a long shot.

I guess you have to spend ridiculous sums of money to have art, even though it looks exactly the same. Silly me, attempting to put something nice in my house.

Thanks.

I think that is where the art/decoration thing comes in. with originals, you can see layers, brush strokes, etc... From a distance one gets the same effect, but they are worlds apart. I have seen prints of Van Goghs "Sunflowers" but it did not do it justice, I realized, when I was standing with my nose 6 inches from the original.


That is not to take away from what you did, just a opinion. (and you know what those are like)
