Friday Finds Have a Type
I love my little house, but since we re-painted our main floor (we is code for Jesse) I’ve been a little nail shy when it comes to our walls. So much of our home is a collection of things from past apartments, and while it all goes together I want to have a home that looks tailored.
Because I’ve been spending too much time on Pinterest, gazing starry eyed at spaces like this:

Be warned: if you click on the photo credit links you may look up from you computer only to have found that three hours have passed in what seems like seconds. Or maybe that’s just me. That’s a normal response to interior design, right?
If there’s one thing I’m set on it’s choosing the right art to build around, and lately I’ve been really enamoured by typography. These are a few really affordable, charming options that I’m considering…

I think these would fit in my workspace, kitchen or a hallway- or as part of a collection of smaller pieces in a living room.
To answer your question: I think typographic prints can go everywhere – from a reading corner or home office, to a kids bedroom or bathroom. I think it entirely depends on what the print says and its type-style as to it’s final destination. I also think they look great when grouped in a collection of differing sizes, type styles and frames. Whatever you decide, have fun!
Aww, I love the “Happily Ever After” one. I would put typographic prints anywhere in my home!
I have been searching & searching & searching Etsy for some fun typography prints and you have made my day with your collection!! Off to lose myself in all their shops now. :)
haha Kyla! Nice warning at the beginning. ALSOooo… I wrote that post for Apartment therapy about creative offices. Yeeeep! :)
I really like the Shark Week one. It’s cute. I’m on pinterest too. It is so addicting, I actually need to find that shark week poster and pin it. haha Have you seen the poster with Charlie Sheen’s face that says #pinning So funny!
Great picks Kyla! Unfortunately I spend waaaay too much time on Pinterest as well. I’m actually a bit wary of getting the app once it’s released since it might swallow up my “catching up” time. But it’s such a lovely place to day dream, right?
Happy Friday!
I love you more than shark week should say “I love you more than burritos” ;)
Great collection Kyla!!!!!!!!!
I have a few from this etsy shop that I love: http://www.etsy.com/shop/dazeychic
i have been wanting an “always kiss me goodnight” sign for our bedroom and thanks to you, i think i found it!!!
Ok, I swear you are the freaking etsy whisperer. How do you find all of this great stuff? :)
I bought a bunch this week from here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/dazeychic
to hang in the nursery :)
I recently hunted down a fun print on etsy (still to be approved by my hubby) and am hooked. I want a word print in the bathroom to go over the toilet. It would be fun for guests, I think :)
Aww – the “as you wish” print is so cute. Now I really want to watch the movie. :)
I have an always kiss me goodnight one that it is a little more artistic but I love it; it’s hanging in our bedroom at Knight’s house.
I think I would love some of this in the bathroom and also in the kitchen, like above the backsplash or something. And now I have to make sure to *not* pull my credit card out of my wallet and go crazy….!
Oh my goodness, I love these! I think I need all of them, just to be safe. What a great round up.
i love that always kiss me good night one. so sweet!
Totally fun prints – thanks for finding them! I’d likely find a sassy one for our guest bathroom. Nothing like making your friends smile. Happy Friday!
OMG “I love you more than shark week!” That’s SO perfect for Ben – I’m buying it this weekend!
Oh fun! I love these prints. I only wish I had more wall space so I could buy some. I really want this one that says, “Today I will be happier than a bird with a french fry” and i want to have it on my desk at work.
I also love this one of a little girl with a stack of books! I would put that in my reading nook. Well, if i had a reading nook. Ha.
Oh, I love the ‘kiss me goodnight’ one – I really want that for my bedroom. I’ve often dreamt of having one entire wall dedicated to such prints, but just haven’t found room to do it yet.
