Thread: Something interesting to go on wall of log cabin

  1. #1

    Something interesting to go on wall of log cabin

    Built a posh shed in garden, the wife is calling a log cabin. I'm after something interesting to go on the wall over the door and having no imagination thought I'd ask for ideas and suggestions. Good ones I'll pass off as my own to impress the wife. Wanting to keep it low tech so no electrical stuff. Thanks.

    Surely it’s antlers for a log cabin? Or a pair of vintage skis?

    Already got one of your pieces Eddie. Bit too futuristic this time. Ran out of toner trying to print the photos.

    Get a dartboard. That's what I got for over the garage door! Hours of fun!

    A large picture frame with a tin of peaches, a large old clock face, a door key, three dirty socks and a candle all glued to it. It might look stupid but the modern art crowdwill queue to gaze adoringly at it and you can charge them admission!

    Maybe a deactivated old hammer shotgun on a nice gun rack, in keeping with the log cabin theme?

    This 'work' is by an in-law of a friend of ours. His work is very popular. I just don’t get it but it sells for thousands. Now, where’s that odd sock I had.....

    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    Saatchi’s taste in “art” is more about making junk valuable in my opinion.

    His influence on the art world is extremely questionable.

    Those “sculptures” would be laughed at in any school art department- but because Saatchi gives them wall space they become worth thousands...

    They’re still garbage though.

    This gave me a chuckle

    'Awkwardly bound together by the frayed remnants of a shoe string, Lee’s assemblage conveys the fragility and pathos of lost love and its detritus in this precariously balanced composition.'


    Then further down he has what appears to be a boner in a towel

    Whilst others use food banks, strange world sometimes it's difficult to see the beauty with so much madness.

    I got these recently from a friend, they would look good on the wall in your man cave/shed.

    Surely only you (OP) will know - just depends what you're interested in - guns, trophies, cars, motorbikes, Star Wars or whatever.

    Seems bit pointless putting up loads of knives or something because someone here suggested it.

    1) A shelf 1/16" deeper than the radius of a paint tin
    2) A tin of paint
    3) A length of string

    Thanks to everyone for their replies. It was only intended as a light hearted post. Definately got me thinking of a militaria rather than hunting theme. Will have a look online for suitable hardware.
