Art Supplies

Paul and I are lucky enough to have a second bedroom in our apartment. It's a really nice size room but since no one lives in there...except for my shoes, it can sometimes look a little dull. As I was looking for ways to spruce it up (on a pretty tight budget) I came across the website Land of Nod. You all might know them already since they are the little sister of Crate and Barrel and have some seriously cute bedding for any size bed. But guys, they also have really great art! And for pretty reasonable prices. Here are a few of my favorites.How do you pick art for your house? When I was little I desperately wanted my parents to have professional pictures of us all around the house like I would see in other homes. They never went for it, instead opting for art. Some of it I have really come to love....except for the tapestry in Rachaels room. I hate you.

What do you think? What do you hang on your walls? Where do you buy art?

Yummy Art

I recently came across Erin Jangs Food Sketches website and wanted to share them with you guys. Erin is a graphic artist, art designer and illustrator who has been doing these abstract drawings of food from restaurants that she has been visiting with friends. I love how direct and bold these images are yet still totally fun and abstract. I am also using her site to guide me where to eat next. Enjoy!

Ice Cream Cake from Parm

Pretzel Croissant from City Bakery

Swedish Meatballs from Ikea

Erin also has a retail shop The Indigo Bunting with some really fun stuff too. Check it out!
