A while back, I saw a piece of art in the wall decor section of Target. I remember it had the look of a painting and it was of a motorcycle (possibly a Harley?), and it was red, blacks and tan. I thought if I could find out the artist name, I might be able to find it online. Did anyone out there purchase this?

Such as paintings and pictures/decor to hang on my walls? Are there any sites I can order such art from? I’m mainly speaking of the ancient Japanese goddess, the Roman/Greek goddesses and possibly Egyptian deities. Or if there are any Azna statues or art that I can order?

Also, pictures of Mary (the Virgin Mary) are also fine (and yes I know in the Christian/Catholic theology people don’t see her as a goddess, but to me she’s special and she does have a place of standing on her own).
Where can I locate such art to order? Thanks. = )
Its okay if you disagree, but please no bashing my own personal spiritual beliefs and I won’t bash yours, thanks.
Preferably small pictures, between $10-40 USD

I just moved into my first apartment and its kinda plain. I have high ceiling and no kind of decorative art work or picture hangings or stuff like that at all. Are there any websites that have complete sets where everything go together?? So I won’t have to shop around for stuff that I think goes together.

I know this isn’t really a travel question, but thought New Yorkers might know:
Where can I find New York-inspired home furnishings? Like Empire State Building CD racks, great UNIQUE art prints, or anything else an artist might imagine that has a New York City theme?
Online webstores are preferred, but any place that does mail order shipping is cool, too.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!

My husband and I just painted our living room cranberry red. I’m starting to think about decorating ideas, but am having a hard time figuring out what will work with the bright color and home style. It’s a 1920’s bungalow, so I want to keep that old, comfortable style and mix it up with some classic Pottery Barn designs. We have a greenish/brown Pottery Barn couch, oversized club chair, brown rectangular ottoman (used as a coffee table alternative), and a beige/sage Persian rug. I was thinking of black and white photographs of places we’ve visited, but I need other options. Maybe vintage Parisian/Italian posters? Would that be too busy/much? What suggestions do you have for accent table finishes, wall decor, and picture frame finishes? Also, is it okay to have brown wood furniture with black-framed wall art?

It used to be kids bedroom furniture consisted of a bed and a dresser. Well, no more. Today’s kids bedroom furniture is an adventure waiting to happen, whether it’s on the high seas, in the jungles of Africa or around the ovals of NASCAR.
About a decade ago, the first race car beds came on the scene, Complete with steering wheel and faux racing slicks, the bed was the first kids bedroom furniture that was functional as well as extremely fun. Kids all over the world no longer dreaded going to sleep. Instead, they hopped into their bed and drove off into a night filled with dreams of winning at Daytona or Indianapolis.
With its success, it was inevitable that other manufacturers jumped on the themed kids bedroom furniture bandwagon. Now there are pirate ships, tree houses, princess beds and beds with slides to keep kids’ busy before bedtime. Plus, it’s not hard to get a child to go to bed on time when the adventure of kids bedroom furniture awaits them.
When creating a themed room for kids bedroom furniture, consider adding other pieces to the room to support the main pieces. This may include wallpapers, wall décor, art or lighting that make the room look cohesive. For example, you can add a nautical lamp to a pirate themed room as well as a wall set that has pirates and even a full sized ship on it.
For little girls, the life of a princess can take on an entirely new meaning with kids bedroom furniture. A canopied bed and matching vanity can work wonders for your little princess and provide hours of play time fun.
As your child grows, of course, kids bedroom furniture can too. As the teenage years approach, chances are your children won’t want themed furniture any more. Luckily, kids bedroom furniture comes in a wide range of styles for older kids too.
If your son or daughter has friends over often, consider a bunk bed. The newer models of kids bedroom furniture offer a twin up top and a full size bunk below. Many even have desks tucked into the end for studying.
New ideas have fundamentally changed the way kids bedroom furniture is designed these days. This is particularly true with the traditional twin bed. Designers realized that space is always a premium for children of all ages and that the space above a bed usually goes to waste.
Their solution: Raise the kids bedroom furniture up on posts and use the space below for additional seating or as a workspace. Now kids have a place to study, play video games and work on hobbies in a space that used to be unavailable.
When selecting kids bedroom furniture for the home, be sure you keep in mind your children’s interests and lifestyle. Choose a bed and other kids bedroom furniture that can grow with them over time or be handed down to their little brother or sister. You’ll be amazed how fast the years go by and having kids bedroom furniture that can grow with the family is a good strategy.

B U S Y asked:
I walked into a shop recently which sold authentic indian american art including jewelry and seemed to be very passionate about the indian culture. On the other side of the store was folk art/primitive decor/whatever you call it. You know, early english/american stuff. Well anyway, this confuses me. Wouldnt the people who lived in the early american era be the same people who forced the indians away from thier homeland? Or did they try to help them? Like when Thanksgiving came about? I am taking graphic design classes and I would like to do something for free for this store and want to learn as much as I can about the history of thier products.
sheesh calm down. This is all in one store by one owner… Do you know anything about the crafts/decor/art that I am talking about?
I guess an additional question would be does anyone know what kind of primitive art I am speaking of and approximately what time frame is it from?

Instead of traditional art or the 24th century comparison, they have nebula, or ships, or stellar phenomena. Don’t get me wrong. I love the saga, all of em, but I just find that so ironically funny. Can’t they get that by looking out the closest window? How about sad clown holding a flower? Or maybe a woodland scene? Anything but space themed art… too much of a good thing?
