Here is my next question for you all. I found three prints at Michaels the other day and picked them up because I liked the colors. They are 16x20. I found three dark brown frames to match our new dining furniture at Target. Michael said the prints are "girly" (that word gets thrown around a lot here when anything with flowers are involved). But, I kinds think the husband may be right? Plus, I think they look like they could go in a teenage girl's bedroom. Anywho, that is why I need your input. Do these look ok? BE HONEST! I already have two votes for "yes" form Morgan and Erin W. who saw them in person, and a "no" vote from my mom and husband.
There are a few things to take into consideration though. The prints are still wrapped in plastic and just leaning up against the frames. So it may be hard to get a feel for how they really look. They would be hung above the sideboard in a row of three. I think you can tell form one of the pics that the chairs are a dark turquoise blue and the wood is a really dark brown. I was planning on doing accents of orange in the dining room to coordinate with the turquoise chairs (and yes, there is a sticker on the corner of the prints that says "sassy chic"...i think that might be a giveaway that they are designed for a teenager!) =)
So comment away. If you vote no though, what do you think I should put there instead??
help!
please!

Really like the look of your dining room. The colors are fabulous. The deep turquoise is so unique and just plain cool. However, the prints, yes, very girly. :( Sorry, that's my vote! Hm, maybe in a hallway perhaps? Entry way? Evelyn's bathroom?
ok, i really do like the pic in the middle...if you are wanting to go with some color/modern look. unfortunately, i have to agree with cynthia and michael...the other two look a bit girly :). do either michael or you have any type of photography you like (trees, nature, etc)? on another note, i recently purchased a fun print from west elm (inside the loop). the prints are on sale right now -- http://www.westelm.com/online/store/ProductDisplay?partNumber=WE-PRODa658&storeId=17001&langId=-1&catalogId=17002&viewSetCode=E&parentId=WE-SH1WALART&retainNav=true&cmsrc=WE-SH1WALART. -- liz d.
I like them, however, if the issue is the "girliness" and "contemporariness", then I think I'd have to agree with C and L. BUT I think you have the right idea with wanting something to tie all the colors together. (Listen to me, soundin' all decorater-like!) I have been admiring the look on BHG of framed fabric. Then it is 1. inexpensive and 2. easily changed with your mood/season/whatever. Check out these ideas: http://www.bhg.com/decorating/home-accessories/wall-art/art-for-walls/?page=1
what if you put up a wall of pictures, like in my house? you could use dark wood frames, with an occasional teal one, or you could also tie in erin's idea and put a couple of framed fabric pieces in with all the family pics.
