Weekend Highlights

Nothing too crazy this weekend to report on, but I am happy to share that after a not-so-fun, but successful trip to IKEA, we have some new fun pieces for our home! Our walls have been bare for a very long time, as the hunt for Meli and Augi approved art is not an easy one (or an affordable one), but we were able to find two fun gallery wraps that fit perfectly on our naked walls:

The best part is that they were both reasonably priced, but have wet my appetite to continue filling up all the blank canvas! I especially love the beautiful Klimt replica – the colors match our living room to the tee! And the kitschy pop art print in our bedroom brings a little more life into what seems like a very dull and lifeless color scheme (all brown & white).

We were also able to pick up a nice silver frame for our one-of-a-kind print by Nan Lawson, which is now adorning our entry way, as well as an adorable little pillow for our bed. I love the polka dot pattern complimented with the mustard color backing (which matches perfectly with our striped duvet cover).

Want a similar look?
Klimpt canvas art – $49.99
Pop art print – $9.99
Ribba frame – $9.99
Polka Dot pillow – $9.99

Our front yard also has gotten a tremendous face lift, but that’s another post for another day.
Loving how our little nest is coming together!

    You should head my way in April for our big art festival, Main Sail. They have amazing pieces and prints for decent prices, and you can check out the new Dali museum. St. Pete is NOTHING like Miami art festivals where only the rich can afford pieces. Also, can you email me how much your husband charges for a photo shoot? I really like his work and since I didn’t win the free one I’m willing to save up and make a trip to the 305.

    Sounds fun! We have been trying to plan out a trip to the Dali museum but we are trying our best to cut costs here & there since we are headed to Europe in November 🙂

    Also, I’ll shoot you an email with my hubby’s contact info and his regular prices!

    Ah yes, the Europe trip is definitely something to save for. Please, please, please let me know when you head here though. Keith and I have a friend with celiac disease so we know all the amazing places to eat and all the fun things to do.

    Love it all, but your Nan Lawson print is just too adorable!

    Everything looks great! Now that we closed on the condo sale, I can’t wait to get back into focusing on remodeling and decorating our house. It’s been too long since our last trip to Ikea.
