I’m always on the lookout for vintage oil paintings when I go out thrifting, to antique stores, or estate sales. Oil paints bring such a rich texture to a room and do a lot to create the mood you are trying to convey. Vintage oil painting usualy also come in beautiful ornate frames. So as a whole they bring so much character to any room.
I’ve rounded up a few oil paintings that I found online that you can shipped straight to your home, if scouring antique and thrift stores isn’t your thing. *Save this post because I’ll be sure to update what I find as they sell out. Because this are not big box items once they sell, they are gone. So if you see an oil painting you love I suggest snatching it up quickly. If you do find an oil painting your drawn to at a thrift store, antique store, or estate sale grab it! Even if you think you might change you mind, chances are that if you walk away it may not be there when you return.
How do I incorporate oil paintings around my home?
The thing about a great oil painting is that you can place them in any room of your house. I have one placed under my range hood in my kitchen. A large one in my dinning room. A sweet little ballerina one in my daughters room over her dresser.
Look around your room. maybe you have a small wall that you can incorporate a small size frame to bring a small surprise to an otherwise overlooked wall. You can use paintings in bookcases to add layers and visual interest. The possibilities are literally endless.
