decor on the dollar

My favorite place to find art? Nope, not Target or Homegoods, not the Salvation Army or a thrift store. My favorite places to find art are at Archivers (or other paper stores) or my own computer. Surprised?

I’ve found paper to be incredibly cheap (under $1) and to create really fun art throughout our house. Some areas where we have paper as art? Our bedroom and the hubby's bathroom.

The paper in the frames I got at Archiver’s for under $1 a piece. And yes, we each have a picture of the other on our nightstand, we’re dorks like that. I mean who wouldn’t want to wake up like that:)

And this piece of paper, again was under a dollar. But the real reason this was a winner, well because the hubby loves vintage art, especially art relating to golf, I mean how perfect is that!

Now for computer generated art. If you have a word processing program and a color printer you are on your way to great wall art. It’s as easy as that. This is the print that I made for my bathroom. I love the idea of Scripture art but I don’t love the traditional look. So I made it in a more modern way on the computer and now it’s a great way to get my mind ready for the day as I get my body ready. Perfect!
