Bargain Moose

I love art: it is lovely to give, to receive and to buy for yourself. I was recently on Stylehopper and noticed a sale of renowned Montreal artist Sophia Paleotheodoros’ work. These are original limited edition pieces in lacquer print on sale for 50 – 60% off retail value.

• Support some great Canadian Art @ Stylehopper

The sale is under Home/Decor. If you are a member just sign in (or if signed in this link will take you right there). If you aren’t a member of this shopping network – membership is free and sign up is easy. My favourite painting is called Leopard and was originally $500, now only $199.

These pieces aren’t small either. The Leopard one I like is 40″ x 40″ – quite a large piece! Some of the other pieces get up to 48″ x 60″ – just huge! That is 4′ by 5′ !

Get some lovely wall art and don’t worry about measuring twice, finding anchoring studs and pounding in nails to hang it (my activities last weekend). Decorate your living room, bathroom, or even your kid’s room all with these wonderful vinyl wall art stickers. Get $90 worth for only $39!

• Pretty up your space with Wall Art from Voila

Details:

• Limit 1 per person
• May buy 2 additional as gifts
• Limit 1 per order
• Not valid until 9/27/11
• Not valid for sale items
• Extra fee for shipping

It is for online redemption and though this deal is found in Edmonton, it is valid for redemption across Canada.

I checked out Voila’s website and enjoyed their ‘children of all ages‘ section. The Space Invaders was just awesome, I know several of my guy friends who would love that. I am a more whimsical person, and like the big beautiful wooden horse with trim.

I’m a jar hoarder – I don’t like throwing them in the trash. I do usually recycle my glass jars, but for some reason, I think I’m going to need them for something in the near future. I peel off the labels, pop them in the dishwasher, then stick them in a cupboard never to be seen again. There are colonies of jam jars and pickle jars breeding deep in the shadowy recesses of my cupboard space!

I saw this idea over on the decoraddict’s blog, and I thought I’d share, as it’s a kind of bargain, of sorts! I think it’s a great idea – they results look brilliant! You can turn your glass jars into unique photo frames, by simply cutting a nice photo to the right size, popping it into the jar, and turning it upside down.

You could use all shapes and sizes of jars to make the frames. Or you could even be adventurous and try using interesting bottles, like classic coke bottles or mini wine bottles. Give it a try! If you do attempt to make some, I’d love to see your results – post a photo below in the comments!
