To think no one has these in their house?

Currently redecorating (hence user name) and looking for inspiration for pictures or prints to go on the walls. All the sites I'm looking at are full of stuff like this! Surely no one IRL actually has stuff like this on their walls?

The third one I might’ve seen but not the others

Yet more tat that no one needs.

I assume every single item in your house is necessary to own. Confused

Ds2 bought me this for my bathroom, it looks just like my cat . I'm planning on getting a few similar ones that look like the other cats 🤷‍♀️

I saw an advert for one of these once that displayed the lyrics to Rapper's Delight it was the whitest thing I've ever seen.

@Sadlivingroom

Quite the opposite *@Marvellousmadness*, I'm looking for actual pictures or photograph prints, but all my online browsing is coming up with these slogan type prints!

I can't imagine having the shits and giggles one in the kitchen?! But I do have a 5 year old who is just learning to read so I may be biased Grin

When I researched I tried cityscapes canvas ect
NoraEphronsNeck · 10/03/2022 17:28

I cannot abide word art - not necessarily because I don't like what they say but because I am drawn to reading them over and over again. I wouldn't be able to relax and watch TV in a room with one on the wall. It would drive me bonkers.

This thread made me think of this John Terry ad 🤣 advertising a family game with this in the background.

I’m sure he paid a fortune for it as it’s a famous poster, but it’s as tacky as fuck.

It says fuck dancing, let’s fuck in case you can’t see.

oakleaffy · 10/03/2022 17:37

Ghastly and so utterly unfunny.

Like the very ancient humourless ''You don't have to be mad to work here, but it helps''

Also those wooden cut out words like ''Cook''
''Shit'' ''Love'' ''Sleep'' as if one needed reminding what a kitchen or bathroom or bedroom was for.

@Toomuchtrouble4me

I once saw a box of kids t-shirts in a clothing wholesalers - pink, glittery writing “Mummy’s little slut” no word of a lie! Shock
Oh no.... That is grim. :(

@Changechangychange I strongly suspect he’ll come home from work and she’ll have covered it before the kitchen gets done… it’ll take a lot of work though, it’s not on a white background and it’s flipping massive Grin

I hope it stays forever if for no other reason than the fact it winds her up so much…

A friend did a cross-stitch for me of Tucker's Law:

"If some cunt can fuck something up, that cunt will pick the worst possible time to fucking fuck it up, because that cunt's a cunt."

It's quite small but it is in my living room and I love it.

ememem84 · 10/03/2022 19:45

If you’re after art try Abi overland

DH bought me the panther prints for Christmas. They are just wonderful.

JuneBug94 · 10/03/2022 20:24

The only one we have is in our downstairs toilet.

It says Deja Poo.

Mojoj · 10/03/2022 20:30

Judgy much?

MrsDThomas · 10/03/2022 20:34

Loathe this type of “art”.

Dont you have a local artist you can support?

inappropriateraspberry · 10/03/2022 20:58

@Benjispruce5

They’re ok for a friend’s birthday card but can’t imagine wanting language like that on my wall every day. They stop being funny after the first read.
Exactly this - great for a one-off, funny card, but not something I'd want to see every day, let alone have to explain it to the children!
Lillyhatesjaz · 10/03/2022 23:27

We got some photos we had taken of views blown up large and framed them to put on the walls. It worked out fairly cheap and we got some spare ones so we can change them every now and then

DdraigGoch · 10/03/2022 23:29

@donquixotedelamancha

A friend of mine has the Live, Love, Laugh crap.

If you were a true friend you'd mock them until they took it down.

This. True friendships are built on good natured piss-taking and telling someone the honest truth, rather than lying to placate their feelings.

You should try Desenio instead
TweenTrauma · 10/03/2022 23:39

Haha 10 years ago on MN everyone was hating on slogan t-shirts for kids, you know, ones with “I’m a cheeky little twat” or somesuch. Now, in a similar vein, it’s word art.

Both shit Grin

Pugfostermum · 11/03/2022 00:06

OP don’t you have any photos of beautiful landscapes/places you have been which you can print and frame? Or prints of famous pictures you like?
Art doesn’t have to be expensive, but it should be personal and meaningful to you, otherwise what’s the point in looking at it every day?
You can tell when pictures are just purchased from a generic site and it sucks the life out of a home.
