Vintage Vogue Magazines
One of the first things I did when I moved to California was visit a bookstore that carried old books and vintage magazines. I didn’t have any art for my first apartment so I had the idea to purchase old fashion magazines and have them blown up to poster size then framed. The results were rather striking and today I still have them. If you are struggling with ideas for art in your home take a look at these vintage Vogue magazine covers to get inspired.
The cover I ended up enlarging and framing is the one above with the lady posing as the letter V, it’s one of my favorites.
Children’s Art
Sometimes I like to scour Etsy for unique finds for the home. Today I found a talented artist by the name of Emily Elizabeth, she has a really cute shop called EE Harrison Art Studio. She creates personalized and affordable art prints, posters and more. I put together some of my favorite pieces of her children’s art that she sells. Take a look at her shop to view more of her fun artwork.
