While I was stuck inside during the recent snow storms, I glanced around my apartment and realized it needs a little updating! We’ve been in the same apartment for almost 5 years and have had the same decor and furniture so a little refresher is overdue! In an online class with Jill Vegas, I learned you don’t have to get rid of all your furniture and start from scratch to change the look of a room. You can do something as simple as adding flowers, using a piece of art, or changing the color of your throw pillows.
I was excited to learn one of my favorite sites, Minted, launched limited edition art prints created by independent artists and printed on archival paper. I plan to do a little refreshing during my upcoming Spring Cleaning Project by adding new pieces of art to my walls. I’ve found several limited edition prints I LOVE! It’s so hard to choose. Minted offers a Style Your Walls page to help find inspiration and ideas to get you started in creating a look for your walls you’ll love.

One of the biggest challenges I’ve had in the past when I’ve looked for art work is finding the print in a size that works for my space. Minted offers various sizes in 5″ x 7″, 8″ x 10″, 11 “x 14″, 16″ x 20″, 18″ x 24″, 30″ x 40″ and 44″ x 60” vertical prints and vice versa for horizontal. Select prints have multiple color scheme options to choose from. Framing options are also available so you don’t have to go to a frame shop and it can go straight on your wall!
The first space I hope to revamp is my girls room. They have a play kitchen area that could use a little revamping and I would love to include other prints around the room! A few of my favorites are pictured below:
Love the Tea Cozy print to go above their kitchen sink!

Not only did I find several gorgeous prints, I learned 2 percent of the proceeds from sales of Minted’s art will benefit Every Mother Counts, an advocacy and mobilization campaign founded by Christy Turlington Burns in 2010 to increase support for maternal mortality reduction globally (learn more here)!
