Falling in Love with Song Lyrics Art

Since you haven't been in my living room (and if you have I believe we have some serious problems), I'll try and paint a word picture of the space. Picture a complete lack of artwork - no pictures, no photos, nothing. And now picture that in this tiny artless room there is a giant puce couch. I'm not positive what colour puce is but I'm fairly certain Ugly Couch is it. Ugly Couch got it's name because it's kinda broken, it has several odd stains including one from a disastrous avocado incident, and the cushions actually seem to be rejecting the couch and trying to make a break for the balcony. 

So some time last week I decided that I was going to fill the awkward space above Ugly Couch with three different lyric art pictures. A really random idea, but it's stuck now, and all I want to do is search Etsy for the perfect three prints that are going to transform our living room from yawn to flippin' fantastic. Here are some I've found. I'd love to hear what your faves are or if you know of some other prints that might rock as much as these!



I really love these two prints from Rooney Hand Lettering! Both Jesse and I are huge Johnny Cash and The Beatles fans, so the quotes are right up our alley. I also love their hand-drawn look. Right now these ones are leading the pack. But they would definitely need a pop of colour in the third print.





Another couple of  prints I'm eyeballin' are from August Park Creative. The first is another Johnny Cash print that I like. I love the simple clean look, and length of the quote.The second print I liked had colour in it which could help out Ugly Couch Wall. Love that yellow and I heart All You Need Is Love by The Beatles so much!



Now this print I'm pretty sure I'm sold on. No matter how many times I play Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, I always feel happier after listening to it. My only problem is that I can only find two prints from this awesome shop (Concepcion Studios) that would fit our sad little wall. Decisions, decisions.

So that's that. I'm so psyched about finding what prints I'm going to use to cheer up Ugly Couch Wall. Stay tuned for this weeks pattern release, my official lyrics art buys (you're on the edge of your seat aren't you), and more geek finds.
