Default Looking for Pictures

I'm not sure this is the right thread but here goes--

I'm in the process of furnishing my home and I need some large pictures -- mainly for my dining area. I've looked at every store I can think of but can't seem to find any. I saw a couple at Kirlands but they didn't fit my decor. I actually need several pictures/wall hangings but I'd really be happy if I found something for the dining room on this trip!

Does anyone have any idea where I might look for larger pictures?

You've inspired me to list one (28" X 32") I have in classifieds. I don't know how to embed photos here (but I'll try), so I'll post it there. It is pretty classical and has neutralish colors - Hydrangeas - if flowers would fit your decor, and it has a nice gold-tone formal frame.

Upload failed (it's probably too big)

Try TJMaxx and Pier One. Sometimes you can hit it lucky at Bargains and Treasures but even pictures can be "dated" in how they are framed or in subject matter such as pastel Southwest pots on a table with a southwest scarf.

Go on line to JCPenneys and don't forget to chat up some of your friends and new aquaintances who would be willing to paint one for you for free. Stop in at one of the art studios in the recreation centers and see what people are painting and ask if they sell their work. Check Michaels too. AND don't forget Bealls outlet. Lots of nice things and changes frequently. Go to different Bealls, they have different stuff.

I love allposters.com. Lots of different things. Reasonably priced. Framed or not framed.

I've purchased a few pictures from a home décor store in the same strip center as Little Joey's and the Sears store on 441, north of the hospital on the left side of the road. They had a little more, should I say, different and more expensive ones than Kirklands, Picture U, etc... I love mine. Sorry I can't remember the name of the store though.

I purchased several nicely framed large pieces at Art.com . Worth a few minutes of your time to at least browse and compare .

Don't forget about going on line to Kirkland's. They have way more on line than they have in the stores and the prices are great. You can return them in the store if you don't like them. Pier one has nice pictures but they are pricey. Also I know a friend who bought hers at Market of Marion Flea Market.

Thanks everyone for your great ideas. I will check them out. I had an incident with a box cutter this morning. I'm a little whoozy so it will probably be online looking today!

IKEA has some interesting large prints at very low prices.

Sorry to hear about your box cutter accident. Those things are dangerous!

I'm not sure how many huge pieces.they have, but check out Decades, a home decor store in Wildwood. Ordered a huge 6 foot by 4 foot mirror from them and I love it and I get lots of compliments on it.
