Above the glass-topped desk on the office side of the room features a few original pieces by me, but I fell in love with the clean-lined, fresh look of these prints from A Vintage Poster. After I picked out three pieces that, in my mind, would work well in a guest room (a stack of suitcases, an old-fashioned camera, and a Beetles quote that I live by) I was able to choose from 25 colors for each print.
We chose “Almond” for the quote, “Lime” for the camera and “Watercress” for the suitcases. As you can see, the photo taken in our guest room is not a true depiction of the colors represented in person (especially the quote that turned a brownish color in the photo–eeks), the guide above is much more accurate to the colors in the prints.
When I knew which posters I wanted, I went back to our original basement game plan that we posted about all the way back in September, to choose colors.
And wouldn’t you know it, A Vintage Poster had exact matches to what we were looking for. Woot! I ordered an 11×14 of each and put them in a 16×20 frame with cardstock to serve as a mat to cheat the size up a bit. They really did set the tone for the entire room.
And now, Chris and I are ready for a long winter’s nap. Or some hot chocolate, a good movie and a few nights off. ;)
