Get Smart: Real Life Advice for
Collecting & Investing in Art on a Budget

First and foremost - buy what you love and what speaks to you. Art doesn't have to be expensive to be beatiful or meaninful to you. The most important aspect of owning art is enjoying living with it; the possiblity of its value increasing is then just an added bonus.

Also, a lot of bigger cities have neighborhood-wide garage / yard sales in which artists in those neighborhoods sell their works dirt cheap. I live in Minneapolis and picked up a really amazing and GIGANTIC painting at the Bryn Mawr garage sales a few years back - it was $40, done by a college student renting an apartment in the neighborhood. It's one of my favorite pieces.

My favorite thus far.

THIS is how you do neutral walls and still have a vibrant, colorful space. A ton of the entries this year are way too neutral to warrant being in the contest and should take a cue from this space. It's awesome.

The mirror on the easel is brilliant.

Reminds me of The Royal Tenenbaums. Love it.


Lindsay's "Purple, Purple, Purple" Room

This is a beautiful space but there is very little color in it. Doesn't belong in this contest.

If you like this, check out Andrew Moore - styles are very similar.

I never thought I'd see the day when people who visit a design blog would freak out over a Warhol Chairman Mao print. Get with it, weirdos.

What is under that mirror? Looks like a giant pile of VHS tapes...?

This is my favorite so far, as well. I love how your central furniture pieces are super functional for storage, like for "coffee table" (that cabinet rules) and the bar in your kitchen.

Awesome space, I could live there in a hearbeat.

What a dreamy home. Your backyard is breathtaking.

Who is the artist of the photo in image #16? Reminds me of Andrew Moore, a really amazing photographer, and I've long been searching for prints of his works to no avail...

Love this. You have a lot of stuff, but it all makes sense where it is. I don't think it's cluttered at all, I think it's thoughtful and lovely.

Love it.

But...Do you not have a couch?
