Nurture Your Home - Stunning Prints From Etsy

Print by LoveSugar, 8x10 is $30. 

I'll admit it. If I didn't reign myself in, every inch of every wall in my house would be covered in art - prints, drawings, painting and photographs. I'm an avid art collector without the Sotheby's budget, so when I discovered all of the wonderful and AFFORDABLE art on Etsy, I was in heaven.  Come to think of it, I probably could write a blog exclusively about the awesomeness that is constantly happening on Etsy.  For now, I will stick to sharing some talented print makers who sell their gorgeous works at incredibly reasonable prices. With prints like these, there is no excuse for your walls to stay bare in 2012!

Monorail Studio is run by Daniella Valerio and Sandrine Molnar, two friends and studio art majors from the University of Texas at Austin.  They are inspired by classic iconography, pop culture, and clean modern design as well as the sea, which is evident in many of their prints.  All prints come in various sizes and colors and range from $12 - $20. With plans for the future to expand the line to include accessories, housewares and apparel, I'm excited to see what the new year will bring for this creative duo.

Satchel and Sage is driven by Gerren and Morgana Lamson, a husband and wife team living in Austin, TX. With these two illustrators collaborating, its not surprising that the result is unique and creative prints that are eye-catching and multi-dimensional.  "The Artifact Series," drawn in the style of vintage specimen illustrations, are reminiscent of Albertus Seba's Cabinet of Curiosities and are delicately beautiful.

Artifact Series: The Beachcomber 5x7 Print and The Tailor 5x7 Print, both $15.

Grace Hester is originally from Singapore, but is now living in the U.S.. Most of her designs are silhouette or typography-based and she gravitates towards simple and fuss-free aesthetics. She creates her prints for busy moms and modern families and her use of bold, bright colors is what I really caught my eye.  Her "Colors" series would be at home in a children's playroom or a stylist's office and the typography is spot-on.  I also love that so many of her prints are are available in multiple languages.

It was her "This Is Our Happily Ever After After" print that caught my eye, with its vintage typewriter font that comes in 18 different colors.
