Currently Loving... Ampersand Design Studio Prints
I'm head over heels for these neon pink and yellow ampersand prints by Ampersand Design Studio. The contrast that the screen printed characters have on the natural chipboard stock is SO lovely. I can't decide which color I like best!

"Paris is always a good idea."
These Parisian prints from The Eye Poetry Print Shop make me daydream about another trip to the city of lights. In my senior year of high school, I explored Paris and the Loire Valley with my AP Art Studio class, a handful of French students, and my eccentric but amazing art teacher. I've been longing to go back, as I imagine experiencing Paris in my late 20's would be far different than my experience as a high school student. Until I pull out my passport again, these images will remind me of the beauty that the city really holds.

Currently Loving... Jack Vettriano
I was flipping through a Jack Vettriano calendar that my friend received for Christmas, and found myself being drawn to these images in particular. I'm a huge fan of anything nautical, so I'm sure that's why I secretly wanted to tear the months with these images from her calendar and run away with them. Perhaps I should just purchase my own calendar... I'm sure that's what my friend would prefer. Until then, here are the images that I'm currently loving:
On a side note... who watches Glee? What did you all think of Will's proposal to Emma? The sailor outfit on the girl in the first image slightly reminded me of it. Artie floating around in the pool just killed me -- I love him.

This is a Red Line Train
Living in the city means public transportation. Yes, we brought a car with us to Chicago, but it remains parked on our street unless we go all out at Trader Joe's, or venture outside the city. At first, I was quite nervous about riding the train and figuring out the CTA system. Now, I can easily hop on a train knowing which line (in Chicago, there are different colored lines that will take you in different directions) I need to take in order to get where I'm going. I actually like taking the train -- is that strange? It's so easy, and let's face it... it's great for people-watching.
When I saw this print, I had to have it. At first glance, it looks like a simple line drawing of the CTA system. When you look closer, each line is made from the names of the stops along each line -- how neat!
As soon as it arrives, I'll be framing it and hanging it in our new home. Good news -- if you don't live in Chicago, there's no need to fret. Fadeout Design has created prints in the same fashion for Boston, NYC, London, DC, and San Fran.

Octopus Art
I'm really not that thrilled by a real, live octopus (I think they are kind of icky...), but these pieces of octopus art are really catching my eye. There is something strangely beautiful and mysterious about their swirling legs, no? I'm especially loving the navy blue silhouette in the bottom right photo.

Currently Loving... Boston Terrier Art
I adore this Boston Terrier print. Did you know that one of the old nic-names for a Boston Terrier is "The American Gentleman"? This art is totally fitting.

Five Pretty Posts

Lay Baby Lay has the cutest inspiration when it comes to little babes. I love the nursery ideas, but love the ideas for wall art even more. I’m head over heels for this adorable stork design -- it would make such a nice gift, don’t you think?

I’ve seen a lot vintage-style furniture being used at outdoor wedding venues and in photo shoots, and Ritzy Bee has rounded up some fantastic pieces! I love the chipped paint and rustic charm.

Atlantic-Pacific is a new blog find for me this week -- big thank you to Little White Whale for pointing it out! This girl has some serious style. I’m loving this rainy day look, complete with a preppy trench and red wellies.

Let Them Eat Cake
These petite cake prints are the cutest! I want to take a bite out of each one. They would be really lovely grouped together on an accent wall, and would make a great gift. Here are a few of my favorites:

Simple Wall Art Project
While browsing through old posts on House Tweaking, I came across this fantastic and simple wall art {tutorial here}. The author created these for her nieces. I'm thinking about making three of them for our bedroom, now -- without the bird and apple, of course. I love the look of the stripes with the letter mounted on top. Perhaps I'll make one J (for Jennifer), one R (for Ron) and one T (for our last name) and hang them in a row. Has anyone else made any simple wall art lately? If so, I'd love for you to share a link!

A Boston and a Sailor
I am head over heels in love with my Boston Terrier, Bean. She's three years old, snores louder than any other creature, has the sweetest face, and wiggles when she walks. For kicks, I searched for "Boston Terrier" on Etsy. A few pages in, I shrieked and the hubby came over looking concerned. I found the cutest painting of not only my favorite pup, but of a Boston as a sailor. If you know me, you know I love sailors and all things nautical. This painting is perfection, and just makes me smile because it's so quirky.
