Gallery Inspired Pin Ups

I went to a few art galleries on the weekend on the hunt for some art for the master bedroom - I want something a bit sexy and cheeky with a bit of red colouring to match the red accessories in the room. There were a few prints I liked at Outre Gallery that looked gorgeous all framed and ready to go but for $500 was a bit out of my budget. But it gave me the bright idea of looking for some prints and framing them myself to get the same look for a lot less.

So it was back in the car and we headed to my favourite strip Beaufort Street which I hoped would have a few artys type shops to check out. First stop Planet Books was a winner ... there was a table out the front with a heap of arty posters and I kid you not they had the exact style I wanted ... sassy retro pin up girls with red backgrounds ... can you believe it?


I picked out these 4 prints for a crazy $11.95 each. Now to find some sleek black frames for that gallery look and the master bedroom will finally have some much needed art on the walls.

How cool you found them!!! I've always thought retro pin-ups would make great bathroom/bedroom art - I've come across some on Etsy before. Be sure to take a photo when they're framed and up.
