Keep Calm and Carry On Poster, $25.00

A dear friend of mine recently purchased a home with her boyfriend, and with great style already embedded in her DNA (her mom should have been an interior decorator; she manages to transform homes into serious showcases), she took to decorating her home with bright splashes of color (red for the kitchen, purple for the living room, etc.) and kitchsy artwork for her walls.

Hanging on a hallway wall was one piece in particular I fell in love with. Simple and straightforward, it read Keep Calm and Carry On in bold, white letters. Based on a British World War II poster, it looks charmingly modern and up-to-date against a seafoam green background. And at $25.00, it’s proof that artwork need not cost a fortune to drum up conversation. There are also other pieces to choose from, with sayings like It Is Better To Be Kind Than Right and You Are My Cup O’ Tea. Artwork and sweet reminders? Sounds like a match in affordable artwork heaven to me.

Oh, and if you want your soon-to-be-favorite-piece-of-art framed, the folks at Etsy will have you covered, too. The print is available for framing, at an additional cost, eliminating the hassle of framing it yourself.
