For Like Ever

I recently purchased a "for like ever" poster that I have been lusting after for years. Ever since I saw the poster on the cover of Domino magazine, I knew I had to have it in my future apartment (this was 2006- really thinking ahead...) The print was designed by Tracy Jenkins of Super Rural and has been sold out and reissued many times. Jenkins was pursing an MFA in graphic design from Yale when she came up with the poster. She couldn't get the valley girl phrase out of her head and included the poster in her thesis. Brian Murphy of Loeffler Randall bought a poster and he and his wife's home was featured in Elle Accessories where the poster was shown. Next, a poster was featured on the cover of Domino and from there it took off. It is now sold in a couple of different colors including the classic light pink with red font.

Below are some photos of different ways to hang your poster. You can buy the print here.

20x200: Affordable Art

Hanging art on the walls can completely change a room. The price tag on good art is an issue for young people who don't exactly have a a budget for it, though. Enter 20x200.com, a site that launched in 2007. They have everything from photos to prints in a variety of sizes and they put up new, limited edition art every week. You can even have them mat and frame your purchases. I have 3 pieces from the site and have been thrilled with all of them. Below are some of my favorites. You can buy them here.

Minimalist Book Covers

I absolutely love to read. It started at a young age.

Yup, that's me reading by myself in the corner.

I've obviously gotten with the times and graduated to a Kindle/Ipad but there's something about a great hardcover book that is so appealing. Below are some of my favorite minimalist book covers. Old books, new covers-- I would love to get a bunch of these on my shelves!
