For those of you who have been visiting Fieldstone Hill for a bit, you have probably figured out that I am not a huge fan of Faux {fake stuff}.
I think an area where Faux choices are often over-abused is on our walls. Faux prints of art, and faux wall paintings that mimic real life materials {faux marble for example}. I think that we make the choice of faux because we think we cannot afford the real thing.
But there is art all around us! Real art!!
If we are creative, we can use the real objects that surround us, and make our own art. And the perk is this: typically, if we open our eyes to this idea, these beautiful works of art are already in our possession… even stuffed into our closets.
One great example is the use of hats as art.
a bit witty, a bit earthy, and a bit big-and-bad American country,
hats certainly add creativity and character to a space.
Enjoy these rooms that make an art out of owning some hats:

the first and fourth photos are my favorites. I just love the creative arrangements shown in their hat art.
how about you? would you use hats as art? do you use other “real” objects as out-of-context art?
Have a great, hat happy weekend!

I love it. Especially the one by graciewear… I love to collect real things/usable souvenirs when we travel.
We must be on the same wave length! I just saw a great picture (can't remember where) of a huge glass container on a dresser filled with hats and absolutely loved it. In fact I was planning on using this idea for my bedroom dresser. My grandmother used to wear all kinds of fancy hats (unfortunately many were given away)and I thought it would be a neat way to display them.
Great ideas! I have hats I've collected from my travels and want to display them nicely.
My husband wears big straw hats all summer. I should do this!
I like your blog! Your use of hats is really artistic!…Daniel
The third photo is my favorite.
