Original Art for Under $50
Want to know the perfect accessory for your bookshelf, kitchen shelf, or mantel? Yep, you guessed it, an original piece of art. Art adds so much depth to a space. Even when it’s obscured a bit by other objects, it still has a way of drawing you in.
Shea McGee is a master of the shelfie. Check it out…these paintings are the icing on an already delicious cake.

This one’s from High Street Market. Kelly (owner and designer) is another master stylist.
I love adding art to a kitchen. Though who am I kidding, really? I love adding art to every space in the home. Okay, except maybe the garage. That’s where I draw the line. But seriously, how amazing do these paintings look amidst all the utilitarian kitchen items?

Let’s not forget about the mantel. You can go minimalist with one piece, as I’ve done here.
Or go for maximum impact like Josh Young does…

I love seeing all those different pieces so masterfully layered.
Why stop at shelves and mantles though? Think about all the other small spaces in your home that could use some extra love: your nightstand, your dresser, your desk…I could go on and on.

Are you dying to replicate these looks?! If so, great news…I found some gorgeous, one-of-a-kind Etsy gems that won’t break the bank. All of these are paintings $50 or less, except the first one which is forty cents over budget but well worth the extra splurge.

The perfect choice for your kitchen shelves, countertop, or backsplash.

Abstracts
I love styling mantels with abstract paintings. There’s something so good about mixing modern art with a traditional fireplace surround.
