Yes! My thoughts exactly. There is something so endearing about an item once you've salvaged it! Found via Design is Mine and produced by Pedlars out of London, this happy print has a great message and is handmade using traditional wood-block printing techniques, then framed locally. Each one is completely unique and would brighten up any space!
I definitely have a thing for cameos lately - although they're all over the place I love their simplicity and they'd be so easy to make yourself. These custom, digital, pregnancy cameos from SimpleSilhouettes on Etsy are totally creative and unique. What a great shower present!
If I could afford to change my art as often as I change my underwear, I'd be a happy gal. After all, who knows what mood you're going to be in from day to day? Mexican folk-lore on Monday, the sweet strokes of Manet on Tuesday.
Of course, I can't but BlueFlip Art gets me one step closer. They offer an astounding variety of high quality prints at uber-affordable rates and the best part? A percentage of all sales go to a charity of the artist's choice!
I'm always on the lookout for new artists but so many times they are priced waaaay out of my stratosphere. That's why I was so pleasantly surprised to find Etsy artist Ren Adams offering beautiful Chinese brush paintings fully matted for under $30. Now, if only I had more wall space...
German designer Enna is inspired by the images of nature in the everyday. The hand-painted "wallpaper" office (above) is a great inspiration for those of us daring to experiment - I think design^sprout kids would really love to tackle a project like this! Her hand-stitched pillows would add the lovely element of craft to a modern couch or bed - plus they are Oh-so-affordable! Check out all her goodies on Etsy.
