So....I have this addiction to black and white. But not just any black and white. Anything that has Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn black and white. I also have a new obsession with damask print! Marilyn + Audrey +damask= a
FANTABULOUS design for a guest bedroom. That's my project that I am currently working on (once funds become available for leisure rather than bills), but off that box. I love Marilyn more than Audrey, but together they make a fantastic duo! Here are some pics of what is currently in my guest bedroom:
These two pics I found at the Icing for less than $2 each! I couldn't let them sit on the shelf so I bought them and took them home! The top pic of Audrey is actually a hologram so when you move it the hearts move back and forth. The bottom pic is just a classic quote from Ms. Monroe stating, "All a girl really wants is for one guy to prove to her that they are not all the same." This hit home for me because I found that guy. Little did I know it would be him almost twenty years later!
This pic of Marilyn I found at Ross a day that I shouldn't have been shopping or spending money. I took a pic, sent it to my friend, TK, and asked if I should buy it. Getting permission to buy it would allow me to make the unnecessary, but necessary purchase. So here it is. And for $19.99 I didn't need to much persuasion NOT to take it home!
This is one of my older pics that I have had for a while now and started my obsession. I purchased this I believe in 2010 back in VA from Burlington Coat Factory. It's a canvas picture stapled to some boards. It was one of my pricer purchases at $39.99, but when I saw it I fell in love instantly and hence began my new obsession :)
This was another purchase from Ross that I also bought back in 2010. This pic was on clearance I believe for $9.99 and although it isn't Marilyn or Audrey, I got such a romantic feel from it and just loved the way they embraced lips. *sigh* One of my faves 'til this day.
This was purchased in Ross by someone I was with and when I saw it I HAD to have it. It was marked down (forgot price) because the glass on the frame was cracked. This was also back in 2010. Funny thing, I NEVER got that crack replaced! *hides face in shame* Hell it's going to hang on the wall until the whole things shatters. But really I would love to take it to Michael's and have it framed, once funds allow :)
