Several months ago, I bought a unique wall accessory at a home decor store.  It is metal/wire with alligator clips so it can be changed out with whatever the imagination can dream up.  At first, I used it to create a collage of local vintage postcards and then at Christmas, it was used for displaying cards.  Then, after the holidays, it sat empty for a couple of weeks.  Finally, today, I decided I had to find a temporary "fill" while I considered the next installation phase.  I couldn't stand the empty frame any longer!
Luckily, inspiration struck while I was organizing my office - I found an out-of-date paint fan deck and I decided to use the paint cards as the art. I went through the deck, pulled out
 colors that were repeated in the adjacent rooms, clipped them in place and voila, done . . . at least for now!  Cheap, Easy & Recycled.
Happily, I am not the only one who liked this idea. Here are some other examples of paint chip artwork:
