First, let’s appreciate how fun My Little Ponies really were. I think I had around 6 as a child. And it was magical.
But in house-news-that’s-somewhat-related-to-the-throwback-mention-above, after what feels like months (ok, it actually has been months) we’re finally ready to fill the empty wall space on either side of the sink nook in our bedroom with something.
And since I had fun making a little Pinterst inspired painting (but then resolutely decided that I didn’t want it to live in the bedroom)…
It was time for John and I to have a few long chats about what we really wanted to fill the empty space across from the bed (no pressure, we’ll just wake up every morning and see whatever’s hanging there). The unanimous choice: bold and kind of moody photographs. Beautiful photos, but not too soft and pretty- something semi contrasty and interesting and sophisticated. Since our bedroom chandelier is kind of playful and our duvet is pretty bright and fun, we figured we needed some art to balance things out and point the room towards “grown up” (so it doesn’t begin to skew towards “playroom-esque” or “dorm-ish”). So we decided to troll around online to see where we’d end up.
The winning subject? Why horses of course. You all know that I have an uncommon love of almost every type of animal (usually of the white ceramic variety, but I like them all “in real life” too). And ever since I saw a few fancy glossy mag rooms with giant horse art I’ve been itching for some of my own. And this recent house crashing adventure (which includes some giant horse art in the nursery of all places) was the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s horse’s back. So I let my fingers do the walking to a few online art print sources (including etsy.com, 20×200.com, art.com, allposters.com, etc) and found everything from racehorses and black beauties relaxing on a farm to some wild gorgeous ponies in motion and even a charming serene horseback rider on a moody beckoning beach. And in case you can’t tell which of those descriptions I was most partial to, it was the last two (found here and here, both by the amazingly talented Jan Lakey).
John definitely has a voice when it comes to art selection, so he felt strongly that the photos shouldn’t be “too energetic” and should be “a little calming and scenic” since it is our bedroom after all (you know, where we sleep). With this in mind, I figured the moody horse-on-the-beach shot would probably go over well, but I did worry that the blurry motion-happy horses might strike the hubby as too high energy. So I pulled out one of the tricks John laid out here (in an old post of yore about getting your hubby on board with a decorating decision that he might not be as thrilled about as you are) and figured the best way to sell him on my two favorite print picks would be to photoshop them into our room. That way he’d have a nice clear idea of what it would look like and I could hopefully soothe any worries that it’ll feel too chaotic or anything but sophisticated-and-a-little-moody-but-restful-and-serene-at-the-same-time. My quick little photoshop mock-up ended up looking a little something like this (ignore the “progress” label on the pic, I just used one from our House Tour page):
Of course that’s not how they’ll look fo’ real, but it made it a bit easier to picture how they might layer into the room. We both agreed that the room needed a nice slap of sophistication and contrast, so it wasn’t like we were looking for something pastel or blown out like a big cloudy sky or a gorgeous sandy beach. As I mentioned, we kind of thought the wacky Ikea fixture and the in-yo-face bedding needed something a little bold and contrasty and sort of chic (not that John would ever use that word). We also thought that something with some subtle gold undertones would relate to the curtains and the gold leaves in the bedding without looking downright matchy-matchy (like oil paintings or abstracts with that color might). And after I mocked everything up I was so so so sold.
Oh but you’re probably wondering what John thought. Just as I suspected, he loved the print on the right immediately. But then he did this pause thing when he looked at the one on the left which definitely freaked me out. But a second later he said “I like them.” Not one mention of the worry that the moving horses would feel too crazy or anything. And he said that he liked how the prints obviously weren’t a matched set but worked really nicely together. Just like that, he was so so so sold too. Oh sweet photoshop, how do I ever thank you for making things that could be five day heated arguments debates into two minute “I’m down” convos? Perhaps with this video of a dog saying I love you? This goes out to you photoshop:
Of course as far as art selection goes, it’s definitely one of those personal things. These horse prints surely won’t be everyone’s jam (and maybe not anyone else’s), but they’re ours and we can’t wait to get ’em. We’re having a lot more fun taking risks in this house. Even if it means doing things that might not have mass appeal – as long as something speaks strongly to us, we’re in. There’s actually freedom in letting go of the notion that your house should please everyone who walks in the door. It allows you be more true to yourself and your place starts to feel more special. Plus it means that your rooms won’t be in danger of looking like everyone else’s, which isn’t a bad thing either.
Now for the cost. Big a$$ prints (the ones that we ordered were over three feet wide at 40″ x 30″) can easily run you around $100+, but these two happened to be priced at a cool $49 a pop. And thanks to googling around for a coupon code to save me 22% off my entire order (it was “ZOLA” if you’re wondering, hope it still works), I scored both of them for a total of $77.98 (down from $100 for the pair) and paid just $5.98 for shipping, for a grand total of $83.96 spent. Which isn’t bad for over six feet of giant photography (printing our own photos that large with a local printer would probably cost us more).
But giant frames are expensive, so how do we plan to avoid paying another 200 beans for two 40 x 30″ frames? By mounting the prints on 40 x 30″ canvases that I got a while back on super clearance from Michael’s with those two bedroom wall areas in mind (we even taped off the wall first to figure out what size tickled our fancy):
They were only $23 each after 50% off with another 25% off on top of that (we mentioned ’em at the end of this post a while back). In fact it was such a great deal that after we drove these two home I went back for a third for the entryway – which is the one that I painted here.
But back to the two I got for the bedroom – it means that we’ll have spent around $64 for each giant piece of photographic bedroom art when it’s all said and done (including the canvas and the art). Which isn’t bad when you consider that many printed canvases of that size sold by places like Ballard Designs or Pottery Barn are in the $200-300+ range (each).
After I spray mount (or somehow glue) each print onto one of our 40 x 30″ canvases, I might even cover them with matte Mod Podge for a more dimensional printed canvas look. Not sure how it’ll all go down yet – but you know I’ll share the details when I get there. Should be interesting. Hope I don’t blow it. Then I’m out $64 bucks a pop. Haha. More details when they arrive and are (hopefully) hung up nice and purty.
Psst- John and I watched the most incredible documentary last night called Catfish. We’re still talking about it. Definitely a must-see. It’ll make you wonder how well you know anyone online- including us. Hah.
Kristen @ Popcorn on the Stove says
I used to ride horses when I was younger so I obviously love your choice of art work (I also loved & had My Little Ponies which may be where my interest started!). They’re such beautiful animals. Nice choice!
Beth@Just{Heart}It says
You could also paint white rectangles on the wall behind the pictures. I did that with one of my art pieces, to make it take up more wall space, and it did the trick amazingly well. Just a thought. :-)
YoungHouseLove says
Oh yeah- always a possibility! We’ll have to see what we end up with!

Cait @ Hernando House says
Cool prints! Looking forward to seeing how you mount them!
Kristen says
I LOVE the print on the right! I can’t wait to see how they look. And yes, Catfish is a must-see for ‘internet friends’! Although I prefer to think you guys are not of the crazy-type variety!
Marla says
Um, well, I love your decorating ideas, but I gotta say this is the first thing I’ve seen that I don’t love. But that’s okay! You love it and that’s great! And you really must love horses to be okay with seeing them first thing in the morning, every morning lol. Enjoy!
Natalie says
Oh my goodness, thank you for sharing the video of the “I love you” dog. Brought tears to my eyes, as I miss the dog I grew up with SO much. Our Molly was my only sibling, we got her when I was 6 and she passed when I was 24. Now 10 years later, little things like this are a link to her. You guys are amazing… I log in daily, and feel like I know you.. and all the time talking to my friends and family about “my young house love peeps”.. thank you for being a part of my life.
oh, and the horse pics are very cool, and calming. I likey! :)

Amanda @ Our Humble A{Bowe}d says
I don’t know if I’m completely sold on the left side painting, but I do like the idea of horse art. The colors are great. If you’re concerned about attaching the prints to the canvas, you could try a smaller version, like an 8 by 10, just to test the process. I’m looking forward to the details. We just spruced up our master bedroom with an art change, too: http://ourhumbleabowed.wordpress.com/2011/05/19/new-bedroom-art/ Knowing your love for maps, these prints might be perfect for your home. Maybe a VA, NY and NJ?

Rebecca says
Wait, Catfish was a documentary? I thought it was a fake-documentary.
YoungHouseLove says
Really? Nooooo. Please say it was real. Anyone know? We googled around for trivia after it ended and it was all listed under documentary. I guess either way it was amazingly suspenseful and interesting to us.

lisa says
i hate to say, but yes, i heard that it may all be fake…there are some inconsistensies (spelling?) that some people found in it…i won’t say what things, since some people haven’t seen it yet, but, yes, i think it was suppossed to be made up…although, many people may say it was real…guess we won’t truly know….and that has a lot to do with the movie…not knowing what is really real until you know the real truth.
chrissielynn says
as far as i know, it was not a docudrama, but an actual documentary… you can google around for videos with angela, she was featured on a lot of news channels afterward including 20/20

as for the art – love! for whatever reason i’m a total commitment-phobe when it comes to adding artwork to the walls (which is silly, given how changeable it all is!)
YoungHouseLove says
Yeah, we’re deep into googling it now and it definitely seems very very real and almost everything supports that (except for some random nay-sayers without much “proof” to back up their claims).

Leah says
I live in the UP of Michigan right near where they filmed. One of my coworkers actually lives down the street from Angela. She now sells her artwork locally and online. So of course everyone around here was very into that movie!
Emily says
I thought I was losing it when I opened your blog and saw My Little Ponies! My 3 year old is sitting here watching this awful MLP video from the library for the 900th time this week. I had looked up at the video on the TV and then back to the computer and had to blink a couple times to make sure I wasn’t going crazy! :)
YoungHouseLove says
Haha- so sorry to add to the My Little Pony overload going on at your house!

Catfish was soooooooo creepy! Kinda left me feeling icky. And I think it’s totally real. There are interviews with the mom and how it all went down.
shanna says
Oh I love them!
I also love that you started the post with My Little Ponies. Even though they weren’t officially scented like Strawberry Shortcake dolls, I still loved the way they smelled.
YoungHouseLove says
Me too! I always call that plastic-y scent “baby doll head smell.” It’s such a childhood memory lane thing.

Andi says
That was my though – I’m pretty sure Catfish was a Blair-Witchy type of documentary.
YoungHouseLove says
John’s googling around and all the filmakers claim that it’s 100% real (if that was fake they’re all the best actors ever). So I’m hoping it’s real and even if it’s not I had a lot of fun watching it.

Jacqueline says
I remember there being a lot of speculation and discussion surrounding this film when it premiered at Sundance. There was a Q&A with the directors after the screening and when someone brought up the possibility that the film was staged, the directors seemed horrified (and also a little bit flattered) at the suggestion that they were brilliant enough to concoct such a story line.
Rebekah says
I don’t love it… they look like stock photos you’d find already in a frame! But if you guys like it, then neat! :)
YoungHouseLove says
Yup – art’s definitely one of those subjective things! Picture us waiting by the mailbox with excitement.

Elisa says
I dont like them, arent they a little bit corny??
YoungHouseLove says
We definitely know these prints aren’t going to be everyone’s jam (art is one of those hugely subjective things) but we love them! And wouldn’t the world be a boring place if we all liked the same art anyway? We’re having a lot more fun taking risks in this house. Even if it means doing things that might not have mass appeal – as long as something speaks strongly to us, we’re in. There’s actually freedom in letting go of the notion that your house should please everyone who walks in the door. It allows you be more true to yourself and your place starts to feel more special. Plus it means that your rooms won’t be in danger of looking like everyone else’s, which isn’t a bad thing either.

Can’t wait to see the final product!!! maybe you can buy a mini canvas and print a pic to mock up? I’d hate to see you waste the money if it goes wrong. But of course, hope it all works out!!
Georgia Rowe says
Oooh love the one of the horsey on the beach! the other one is a bit to much motion for me, but its a nice picture though. Makes my eyes go a bit funny looking at it! lol
Love horses though, there so amazing!
You could have also made frames yourselfs and stuck it around the pictures on the wall (or even do this around the canvas) I want to give it ago myself at home with a mirror for the bathroom.
‘My little pony, theres no place like pony land’ lol

Love you guys, as usual.
Great decision on the art.
PS…LOVEEEEEEE Catfish! Crazy!
Stephanie says
My Little Ponies! Great way to put a smile on my face on a Monday morning, I mean what is better than a my little pony? I had the pink one, I think it’s name was cotton candy- one of my most cherished toys! As for the artwork, I have been toying with the idea of photographs as well. It is hard to pick out the right one as photographs look so much more bold up on the wall. I’m liking your choices of horses!
Catherine says
I usually love what you do but I actually think this makes those walls looks very busy, what withe dresser and the plant. But I am sure you will make it work! When are you going to put curtains in the livivng room??? I really admire your “one step at a time approach” … I always need to get all done NOW and then am upset that there is nothing else to play with :)
YoungHouseLove says
We’re going to one of our favorite fabric stores in a few weeks so we might find something then! We’re definitely not in any rush for those since we need eight of them, so it’ll be a big decision when we land on something! It’ll definitely be exciting when we finally do though!

Rebecca @ the lil house that could says
Ok confession… I never really used Photoshop until I started blogging 9ish months ago. I know right? Where have I been living?? But I just used it a few days ago to place a built in grill image on our patio and I think I may be hooked. I even started to doodle in some landscaping before I realized I better stop before I spent hours “doodling”. Such a fun way to see how things are going to look. Now that I got over that first hurdle, I may be using it more often! Sorry colored pencils…
Julia @ Chris loves Julia says
Back in my college days (I was an art major, too!) I used spray adhesive to mount on canvases FREQUENTLY! I have no doubts about the process. And I love the idea of putting a little Mod Podge over it. Can’t wait to see!

Not kidding – I kind of like the white canvases. Like you’re starting your day with a blank slate. :-)

heather @ at home with h says
Sadly I don’t love it and am sad that y’all jumped on the ‘horse art’ bandwagon since you usually do unique art. But as you say, art is subjective and as long as you love it then that’s all that matters!
YoungHouseLove says
Eh now worries, we’re always jumping on trends if we like them. And sometimes we’re very late on the bandwagon. Haha. For example I still love Ikat and hope to bring in some Ikat curtains someday- even though some designers think they’re over. And nearly all of the art in our house if homemade or one of a kind, so we’re ok with photography prints that we love once in a while (especially of things that we’d never be able to DIY like these guys). We just weren’t digging the idea of staring at my painting in the morning and wanted something more moody. To each his own I guess!

I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt, because everything you have done with your last house and this house so far is great…sometimes people think the worst and then they love it, you have an eye for design, so I trust you!
YoungHouseLove says
Hah- thanks Adriane! It’s just a photoshop rendering so I’m sure when they’re in the room some people will come around and some won’t- but we’re ok with going with what we like (as opposed to expecting the whole internet to love everything we choose). How safe/boring would our house have to be for that? Haha.

I really like those prints! I think you’re right- it will add some sophistication to your room.
And Catfish was AWESOME! I googled the heck out of it and added (or liked?) the main guy on FB. It’s totally legit. And, don’t worry, I really do live in NC and have a husband, twin girls, and two dogs.
Or do I…

I totally used photoshop (well word, but you get the point) last night to win a battle with my boyfriend. We were disagreeing on what mailbox to buy and once I showed him what both options would look like on the house, he immediately agreed with me on the sleek black won with gold MAIL letters! Yay! It was too easy.
Clare says
I think they look awesome and cant wait to see the finished look! And I LOVE Catfish – such an amazing documentary!
Jenny B says
I’ve never glued anything quite that large to canvas, however, I have glued smaller pieces (photos, magazine pics, etc.)to canvas and then modge-podged (a verb?) over it and it worked beautifully. I’ve glued and modge-podged to wood as well and that’s very cool. I guess I would be most afraid of working all of the bubbles out and not wrinkling a piece that big. Can’t wait to see the finished project!
Melanie says
Bowtie! She was one of my favorite MLPs.
Personally, I would totally hate having those giant photographs in my bedroom (though I might like them in another room). Good thing it’s your room and all about what makes you happy. :)
I was thinking mod podge when you mentioned the canvases. You could also just “frame” them out with some molding if you wanted that kind of look. So many options.
Sophie says
Catfish is real, I think when it came out there were a lot of people ‘in the biz’ (ha) who were like it can’t be real but the makers are adamant it is. I definitely believe it, there are zillions of wackos out there, and you could TELL (trying not to give it away here for people who haven’t seen it….) that the main woman wasn’t acting…urgh!!
I feel bad for this but I’m not a massive fan of the horse prints, I kind of almost think they they’re a tad…naff?! Ahh brutal. I probably would have put some vintage maps or old advertisements or something there instead, but the size and shape and canvas etc looks great.
YoungHouseLove says
Yes! My thought too. That woman was not an actress. Nor were her family members or her husband. At least that’s what I’m choosing to believe.

Nora says
I totally googled it and I am a little bummed to know the ending now! (Darn wiki spoilers!) Wiki said that a few people doubted it, but I think another commenter said the producers stand by it.
I also LOVE your horse art. One of my friends has given me a few of her photographs of them and I have a favorite childhood print that I really want to frame for my house. I always go for Christmas Tree shop cheap frames (they put Ikea to shame and let me class up prints) and I am so inspired to start spray painting them or adjusting the black frames to make them a little different. Off to go brainstorm!
YoungHouseLove says
Yeah- I hate that people who haven’t seen it now might see the ending. Don’t google it! The vast majority believes it’s real and the Wash Post confirmed that the family was 100% real. Just see it! We loved it so much.

Oh no, I totally googled it. Bummer! Still going to check it out, though.

Oh mannnnn. Don’t get sucked in! The spoilers will ruin it! But it’s still worth a watch – although the best part of the movie was about half way in when we had no idea about the twist and we paused it and tried to guess what would happen. We were waaaay off. Which I love. Movies are always so predictable so I love when I can’t “see” where things are going and they surprise me.

Carrisa says
Catfish was a real documentary. I really enjoyed it. But yeah, you never know with people on the internets.
I love that painting you did. It’s gorgeous. Every time I get the notion to paint on canvas for some abstract art it just ends up looking like a child did it. And not well.
My current favorite artist online is Valentina Ramos. I think you’re familiar with her too since I saw you have her peacock drawing on one of your Pinterest boards.
Anne says
Speaking of artwork…found this project today and thought of you. (http://www.casasugar.com/DIY-Deer-Head-Art-16479664) It’s not quite a ceramic animal, but you could probably make it look like one! Bonus: less breakable. Not so bonus: might be kind of strange to buy a taxidermy form.

So much fun! Agreed about the taxidermy form though. Haha.

Ahh Catfish!! I really need to see it. They interviewed the “cast” on Oprah a few months ago and it really seemed that it was legit. Crazy, but legit.

Claire says
I can’t wait to hear how you decide to hang them. I tried using spray mount to attach 16×20 photos (of my kids) onto pre-stretched canvases from Michael’s. It looked AWESOME for a day and then they started peeling off and by three days in all three photos had fallen off the canvases. Then one of our dogs laid on one of the photos after it fell onto the couch. And ruined it. So I lost my DIY mojo and never got back around to fixing it. (Yes, there are now three blank canvases hanging on our living room wall)
I’m sure I did something terribly wrong. But I’m happy to let you guys figure out the best way to do it and then tell me how. I’m so generous that way.
Also, typing the word canvases over and over again makes it seem like a made-up word. Just sayin’.
YoungHouseLove says
Haha- I hope we have some luck finding a method that works. Burger- although small- could totally ruin a print by jumping around on it. Haha.

Kat says
You should use Super77 Spray Mount – not just the regular craft spray mount.
I use it all the time for mounting large scale posters at work. I’ve never had a problem with anything not sticking.
Quite the opposite! Spray outside!
(I also use a brayer afterwards to make sure all bubbles are removed and everything is firmly attached..)
Heather Sheffer says
I love them. If you want to Mod Podge over the top of them when they are on the canvas, make sure you spray a protective coat over the prints first. (I’ve used matte glaze from Michaels) From what I’ve been told, Mod Podge can make photo prints run if they aren’t protected first. I’ve mounted a few photos to canvases before and love the Mod Podge look when it’s done over photo prints. It definitely makes the photos look more like art. Have fun!

Love the prints, but maybe switch the sides? To me it might look better if the horse was running into the open door instead of the wall…

Genius! I love your technique of photoshopping those babies in to get an idea of they will look in your space. I’m going to try that myself because I want to put up some Ikea Lack shelves on the sides of my fireplace but I don’t want to invest the time and money (and holes) without having some idea of how it will look. Thanks for the design tip. All the best with the prints – they’ll look great!
cack says
Have you ever tried using the spray adhesive Super77 (you can buy it just about anywhere). It sticks to everything! Warning – spray outside and make sure you are only going to have to stick it down once!

Never tried it! Thanks for the tip!

Horses in the bedroom….that’s kinda kinky, Sherry!
They are beautiful images. I think the one on the right looks great in the room. Mixed on the left image because I think the colors are not gelling quite as well with your decor, but I’m excited to see the end result!
Re: Catfish, I agree that the family is genuine. I think the filmmakers probably suspected something was up and that is why they made the trip on film. So it’s truth but maybe not a 100% naive project.
Ames says
The My Little Pony reference just made my day!!!
I can’t wait to see the photos when they are all done…. sometimes I think I don’t get something you guys are doing, and then when it is all done and it place, I think it is amazing!
Bethie says
I LOVED Catfish as well and looked up some info on it after I saw it. While I think the story is accurately presented, I think the protagonist (and his producers) may have had an idea of what was up. I don’t know about you, but I google just about everyone I befriend. ESPECIALLY if it is someone I’m romantically interested in (not that that happens anymore as I am quite happily married!). These guys are young and “with it” enough to have had a clue. How couldn’t they? [SPOILER ALERT] the mom’s pic was about the same age as the daughter! And they both happened to be models with model friends? A bit suspicious if you ask me.
lisa says
yes, i think i heard that too…like maybe they are saying the woman was real, but the producers/actors(?)knew what would happen in the end, but were just going along with it to make a great ending…so, maybe you could say it was actually real…but, the outcome was known, which makes it not really “real”…hard to explain, but maybe that is it…
Ali says
EXCELLENT choice, in my opinion. Love those prints. I will definitely have to try the print-over-canvas idea. I’ve been thinking I will try it with posters first, in case I totally botch it on the first go.
YoungHouseLove says
Yeah it’s definitely going to be something I worry about botching- but lots of people have given me some great ideas so I hope it works! Details soon!
