Art makes everything better!
I am currently all jittery and skittery with excitement because today I ordered two new pieces of art for my house.
I admit, I’m pretty much obsessed with hanging beautiful things on my walls. It’s one of the best ways out there to add color and personality to your space — especially if you can’t paint. At least I’m lucky and my walls are a nice plain white which provides a good canvas for lots of cool artwork.
As much as I love getting my hands on free or really inexpensive art (and it can be done — I’ll have to blog about that sometime), sometimes you find something for sale that you LOVE and you know will make you smile every time you look at it.
That’s how I feel about the fun, quirky posters at Pop Chart Labs. No I’m not making any money by advertising for them in this post! :-) I just love their stuff. I’ve been ogling their coffee print for a few months, and I just bought it to hang in my guestroom / study room.
They also just came out with this new kitchen tools print, which I immediately fell in love with.
I’m going to put it up in my kitchen above the sink, where I really wish there was a window but instead there’s just a boring wall. This piece is huge — 2 by 3 feet, so it will fill up almost the whole wall (!). It will be fun looking at the cute graphics and details while washing dishes … a whole lot more fun than wall-gazing, that’s for sure.
I’m going to pick up some poster frames at Michael’s (they were 40% off when I checked yesterday) so I can frame and hang these babies the instant they arrive.
So – what’s your favorite piece of art in your home?
Those will look great in the apartment! you have to post pics when you get them hung up! =D
I will! I can’t wait for them to get here.
Love the coffee poster! One of my favs is a big canvas with coffee cups. I love it but it doesn’t really go with the colors I want to do in the house. I’m trying to figure out how to make it work when I redo the kitchen.
