Picture Ledges
Sometimes making the most of blank wall space isn't about hanging up one
large framed picture. You might want to consider hanging picture ledges
that can accommodate lots of framed artwork and collectibles. One big
advantage to this is that its interchangeable. Put up snow scenes for
winter, botanicals for spring, or even family portraits, the
possibilities are endless!

Limited Edition Prints
Collecting art can be a wonderful thing. Not only is it fantastic to
surround yourself by beautiful images and things that really inspire
you, but sometimes those collections can actually increase in value over
time.A poster will probably never go up in value (unless maybe its signed by
someone famous), and while there are some fantastic posters out there,
they have more of an aesthetic value than a dollar value. While there is
nothing wrong with purchasing and displaying a lovely poster in your
home, sometimes a limited edition print can get you more bang for
your buck. So what is a limited edition print?Essentially a limited edition is when an artists makes a limited
amount of copies from their original work. This could mean they produce
30 prints of their original oil painting or 150 of one particular
photograph. To be a limited edition the prints must be signed and
numbered by the artist. Once an artist sells all of their edition they
may not reproduce anymore.
So what this means for you as a collector is that if you own #1 out
of 50 than your print will be the most valuable in time (aside from the
original of course). And once all of an edition is sold out, this is
when your print starts to go up in value over time. The longer the
edition is sold out, the more valuable it is. Lots of factors carry into
this of course, like how sought after the artist is, or if he/she is
still alive. Find out where to purchase Limited Editions inexpensively by reading on.Photo: Custom Framed Limited Edition Print
