A different kind of art

There are dozens of creative ways to add art to your space that don't involve spending a truckload of moolah at an auction house or art gallery. All you have to do is get creative. For example, find a colorful or uniquely patterned piece of fabric (such as Indonesian batik, shown here) and stretch it across a canvas -- add a frame for a one-of-a-kind piece of art.
