vintage art prints over the nightstands

I've been taking the master bedroom in a blue and white direction.  I hung the Ikea Stockholm Blad curtains in blue and white, switched out our very heavy brown winter comforter for a plain white all-season one, put a blue duvet cover across the bottom of the bed, and painted the mirror over the dresser cobalt blue.

I also bought two vintage art prints for over the bedside tables.  The Mister and I love vintage art, so it was easy to find a few prints that we liked. One is a vintage advertisement, one is a vintage travel poster. Art.com has a decent amount of 20 x 28 vintage prints, which is the perfect size for the Ikea 20 x 28 Ribba frame.  (I love the Ribba frame, but since they don't follow American standard sizes, finding the right size art can be difficult. Also, although the largest Ribba frame says that the interior is matted to 19 x 27, the posters were juuuuust a smidge too short for that frame.)







It was difficult to capture a picture of the art without glare, so here are the images from Art.com:

Almost done with this room! The only thing left to do is fix the lamps.

  2. Again, just love your use of bold color. And the vintage posters are great. What saucy little mermaids you've got swimming around in that limonade!
