So, I’m getting ready to move into a new apartment and therefore my Googling for home decor ideas has increased an embarassing amount.  One of my favorite things to purchase, or at least pine for, is new artwork. One website that feeds that better than anyone is 20X200.com.  They have amazing artwork, beautifully organized, and they always start at $20.

Check out my absolute favorites below, and if anyone’s feeling generous I will totally except any of these pieces as a “Happy Thursday” gift.

The artist, Aaron Straup Cope, of Stamen Design, creates these maps of various cities but uses fun, bright colors to make them quite the conversation piece.  Do you recognize the little hub featured above?  If you guessed Paris, you’re right!

This one might be my favorite, just for it’s simplicity.  If you couldn’t tell, its the San Francisco Bay Area.  I love how once you know which city it is, you inevitably have that, “Ohhhhhh” moment.

These last two prints are of  Los Angeles and New York, respectively.  I love that on a regular map, these two cities might not look all that striking, but with his use of color, they look quite scenic.  Ideally, I would love to have all four of these fantastic prints hung up in my office space, or even in an entryway, or maybe both!  A girl can dream, right?
