Show your home how much you love it!
Art is something one should never feel bad about buying. It is also one of the few things in life that appreciates in value - and who doesn't need a little bit of that! Nevertheless, not all of us are in the spot to make an investment right now, but these lovely works are affordable! And did I mention how pretty they are - and how perfect they would be for that spot on the wall?
Eve Simone's delicate prints are so nostalgic - they'd make me feel at home anywhere.
My favorite photo- I love the colors in the sky!
it's all you need
RIP Coney Island!!!
As you can see, they also fit into any decor style. Her stuff is being sold and boutiques and galleries in NYC and Cali, but you can get your own at her Etsy shop.
Aren't these hand painted plaques adorable! They'd be perfect in a nursery. too cute! Visit sweet little dear's shop
Aren't these the prettiest prints? I don't know which one to pick!! I especially love them in the natural wood frames. Go to yumiyumi's shop to see a lot more!

a so-so kithen - turns into this:
This bland living room turns into this:
...and my favorite makeover (sorry, I couldn't find the before photo), is a shabby-chic room made from mismatched furniture and accessories from the inhabitant's previous college dorm.

My favorites from this month's Domino - what are yours?
There was one piece in particular I really loved from the February issue of Domino. It was a piece on flowers as decor and the photography and styling was particularly beautiful - and achievable! What do you think - what's your favorite "flower style"?
Modern rustic?
Romantic sophisticate?
or Exotic bohemian?
There was also a house tour featured which had some nice photos:
Love the black for the bathroom walls, and the framed detention paper!

decorating your walls
Hanging your art and photos in clusters may be on the verge of "out," but I don't consider it a trend at all, but a classic that's going to stick (and one that started way before last season's decorators were doing it). I've drawn up a quick diagram with a few no fail layouts.
Starting at the top left, this "above and below" layout starts with a horizontal line. Use photos that will end up taking up about the same amount of space above the line and below the line, that way the arrangement is neither top heavy or bottom-heavy.
Moving below to the bottom left, this "inside the lines" arrangement is probably the layout you've seen the most. In an imaginary rectangle, fill the area by loosely arranging the art within it. This layout works pretty much anywhere, and is a good solution for odd spaces. Lastly, to the right is a vertical line up, which work well with high ceilings or columns.

Funny enough, Pottery Barn announced a free shipping promotion on select frames!
Please send me your results if you try this and I'll post them!
