Donating is the best way to deal with something like this. You get the advantage of taking a fair market value tax deduction while avoiding the hassles of trying to sell it and getting fair value.

Donate is probably best...or if you want to spruce up a laundry room or garage area, it might work there.

Put it out by your driveway with a free sign on it, it will be gone in no time.

Actually, you wouldn't have to bother with a sign.

The value of a "furniture store" print is in the framing....any way you can reuse the frame?

You'll get a nice tax deduction from either Re-Store or Goodwill...and they will get some money for their good works. I would donate it.

Well, most of my house was remodeled with ReStore goodies so I'm a bit partial. Each ReStore is different though. We have 2 here at the moment and one is more "building" kinds of things, no furniture and no art or anything along those lines. The other takes anything and everything and I've gotten some cool, but off the wall, things at that one.

Another option is to post an ad on your local FreeCycle. You won't get a tax credit, but you should be able to find a good home for it easily. FreeCycle is much safer than CL because FreeCycle members must register and get approved before they can post or even see messages. Unlike CL, FreeCycle doesn't allow come-and-get-it ads because they waste gas.

If you do post it on FreeCycle, be sure to ask people to give you a definite day and time when they will pick it up -- this helps to keep the no-shows to a minimum. Also, don't necessarily offer the item to the first person who replies, because some people respond to every posting that seems to have some value, and then don't follow through. When I give away things on FreeCycle, I try to choose someone who lives nearby because there's a greater chance they'll pick it up promptly.

You might set up a swap meet with some friends or neighbors. Everyone brings some nice decor items and then set up a method to decide how to bid on or swap things. Some gals give out a clothespin for each item you bring and you write your name on it and pin it to the items you want. You'll have to figure out a way to deal with the issue if more than one person wants something.

Do you have a friend that might like it?

I agree that donating it might be your best option, but have you considered donating it to your local school? These days, money is scarce and our schools must spend every spare penny on their students, which is as it should be. Any art to hang for hallways, staff lounge, classroom or office usually must be purchased with a staff member's personal funds. I've donated many pieces of art to our children's' schools over the years and all have been very much appreciated. Just last month I donated pieces that ended up in various offices, 2 in the administration hallway and one in a staff restroom. Everyone loved how they brightened up the place, as I'll bet yours would, too. In my opinion, it's a Win/Win option.
Another option would be donating it to a local senior center.

Thank you for these awesome suggestions! I like the idea of a school or senior center, or else Habitat (if they can take it) or Goodwill.

Our community/neighborhood pool has yard sales on a regular basis, but they do not appear to have one coming up. They do have a large yard sale in the spring, but I don't want to keep it that long.

I send out a photo of the item and send it to all my relatives and friends with the title. First response gets it. Makes everyone happy.

How did you donate the art work?
