Cool, Affordable Art

Those are my three favorite words. Who doesn’t love inexpensive art?!? Enhancing your home through art is essential to creating any chic space, yet it can be a bitch to pay for. Since we’ve all heard of Etsy before, here are some other great options and sites I want to introduce you to….

Art River focuses on modern artists only and are wonderful prints of some major modern art players like Twombly, Basquiat, Duchamp, De Kooning and Hirst.

Art Muse – Their tagline is “Live artfully for $25”. Works for me!

Cozamia – Nancy Ramirez’s collection of great prints that are all sold online.

Buy Some Damn Art originals from lesser known/ emerging artists.

Little Paper Planes -an artist run site out of CA: artists promoting artists.

Happy Shopping 🙂

Our dream home

I became obsessed with Pinterest like many others, mainly b/c it was a place to store my favorite things for my future home. I also have about 20 file folders full of magazine cut-outs, a binder with more cut-outs and I’m also hoarding every issue of Domino from the last 2 years it ran. So, here’s my post that’s an ode to my future home. Ya know, that one I have in my mind if we ever leave our cozy, good to us, dusty-but-has-character, 1 BR walk-up that has almost no closet space- apartment that i love.

Fur touches in your home

If you are like me, when you throw on anything fur or faux-fur you feel incredible. It goes back to when I was little and my mom would put on her long fur coat to go to some fancy party. My grandmother, VERY kindly, furthered my obsession when she handed down her giant fur scarf.  This thing is huge and fuzzy and amazing. Adding something furry can also make any living room or office or whatever room look more glamorous. 

Here are some good options:  DWR, West Elm, Overstock, Shopbop, Baby&Child
