Frank Gonzales Paintings

We love these paintings of birds that incorporate a somewhat digital deconstruction. With a modern, pixelated take on romantic and beautiful images, we'd love to hang one of these on our wall....

It is Art, Craft and Collections Month here at Apartment Therapy, and we've been waiting for the chance to feature the amazing works of Thomas Doyle. Terrariums have been all the rage in the home des...

Plywerk Photo Mounting

Tacking art to the wall is sloppy (not to mention it can destroy the work), cheap frames generally look cheap (sad but true), and custom framing is, well, expensive. Aside from that there aren't a ton...

More Artwork in Front of Bookshelves

It's been a while since we took a look at framed art placed on bookshelves, and we wanted to get your opinion on the concept. If you have the (enviable) problem of having too many bookcases and not en...

Inspiration: Twitter on Paper

As notorious "keepers of scraps of paper" who have been known to frame seemingly worthless doodles, quotes and images, we took to this new site immediately. An interesting take on the Twitter trend, t...

Inspiration: Books as Art

When it comes to books, there seem to be two types of people: those who would "destroy" one to repurpose it, and those who consider destruction of a book sacrilegious. For the former, there have been ...

Pottery Barn Frame Risers

Flipping through a recent PB catalog our interest was piqued by a product that we had somehow missed before. Of course we've seen these giant clusters of frames all over the place, and have even notic...

Literary Prints by Isuwannee
