Just a little rad
Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 10:00AM So thank heavens for the thaw and rising temps, because it meant we could finally get a slew of art hung. Let me explain - Our big ass extension ladder that we keep outside was finally un-frozen enough to drag in and tackle hanging close to a dozen pieces around the house. The big plan was to take on the blank wall in our mondo stairwell, since the other wall has been looking peachy and art-filled for ages so it was high time that we balanced things out.
We found space for stuff picked up in (and dragged home from) Glasgow, London, Buffalo, Tokyo and Hawaii, as well as gifts from friends and vintage finds from our local Goodwill. I love them all, but special mention goes to the largest piece, which is the gorgeous Brooks Brothers Suit (black line) by illustrator/printmaker - and sweetie - Alanna Cavanagh, while another fave is the small RAD print by artist R. Bennett that we grabbed from Chinatown Boardroom in Honolulu. Art is good!

curious as to what the print/fabric is with the japanese village in pink/red? I love it and the whole gallery wall! Allanah Cavanagh is great.
Thanks Sarah J. That framed fabric you like is a Tenugui, a traditional Japanese cotton cloth used for everything from wrapping gifts to washing dishes. I grabbed this one when we were in Tokyo last year!
i love this, artwalls are so inspiring, and such a great glimpse into someone's personality. i especially love the house&garden print, is that an old cover? the colours are great.
Hi Lesley, Yep, the H&G print is a cover from 1951!
This is awesome, I love the interesting mix you've created leading up the stairs and that ceiling light..very cool :)
