Apartment Adventure: Living and Loving My Space for Less: Free Printable Wall Art

I'm excited to announce that the decorating is almost done! (This means more pics to come soon.) Since so many of our wall decorations started out as free printables, and since searching down these printables took some time, I decided to compile my sources into one easy place so others could make use of them too. The only ones that are actually mine are Fox Robin here and the one I made with Picasa; the rest of them are from other sites. In the next few days, I plan to post pictures and ideas about how to arrange and display printed wall art.

Fox Robin

1. I love foxes. And I felt like they should be represented on my site. So I drew this little guy (and named him after Disney's Robin Hood). Feel free to download and use him as wall art too! (DeviantArt is actually a good source for wall art. My other DeviantArt drawings can be found here.)

So this was my absolute favorite printable art site. They have lots of art to choose from, the prints are nice and colorful, and the site is easy to work with. Print theme tends to be modern and quirky.

Vintage Printable

This site is really frustrating to navigate, but it's good if you want older, truly vintage prints. Lots of good botanical prints, some whimsical animals, and old paintings.

Graphics Fairy

This also has vintage prints, but they look more like signs and book covers. It's a lot easier to navigate than vintage printable, but not all of the art makes good wall prints.

This one has several colorful bathroom-themed printables, as well as the "you are my sunshine" seen above.

Printable Monogram

This is really cool. It lets you download the monogram template in a color of your choice, then type in your own initials.

Make your own wall art. Mine features a quote from the musical, Chess ("Anthem").

This is a good tutorial on how to make your own wall art using Picasa. The print above is one that I made following these instructions! Right click and save it to print and use it.
