Happy Monday

Do you know what makes this Monday a bit easier to bare..hmmm?

The new issue of Lonny is out! When I saw the cover yesterday, I was super excited to see a black and white graphic print! You know how much I love graphic prints! I blogged about them here, and I even painted one here. 
By the way, the whole issue is a piece of art. I stayed up way too late studying photos of  rooms. Here is the rest of the the beautiful house showcased on the cover. Try not to drool on your keyboard ladies.

My Graphic DIY & first Give Away!

Last week I posted about black and white graphic/abstract art. You can see the post here.  I mentioned  I purchased a piece for my own home which I am waiting to get framed. Framing is expensive ladies! While waiting to bite the bullet and dish out the cash for a frame the size I need, I decided to create my own abstract piece. I wanted to add a smaller piece to my kitchen gallery wall which is a work in progress. With just a ten dollar bill and endless ideas I created this little guy.

My inexpensive supplies...

* Artist's canvas (2) pack of 8" by 10." price -$4.59
* Liquitex acrylic paint tube. price - 2.99
* Paint brush - already owned.

And this is where this little guy now lives.

I now own an original!

This is where you come in. The canvas I used came in a two pack and I only needed one. I thought I would paint another piece and give it away to one of you! Now I won't be offended if you don't want it. The last time I painted I was in kindergarten, but if you do, just leave a comment on where you would put the piece and I will choose one of you. Then you will have an original piece of art as well heeheee.

Graphic Perfection

I have really been eyeing graphic artwork. I feel like it adds interest to a room without overwhelming the rest of the decor in a room. It brings an eclectic feel to a traditional space which I go for in my own home.
I specifically have been eyeing black and white graphic prints. I have been dreaming of one in a thin gold frame with a gallery light on top. Yummy. I just chose my graphic piece this past week and can't wait to get it up. I'm waiting on the thin gold frame. I will share once I put it up.

In the mean time, here are the photo's that inspired me to add a piece to my own home.

I had to add this last picture. I am loving the size and the red in this graphic print. Talk about a statement!

What do you think of graphic art. Love it or hate it?
