With a house full of empty walls, I’ve got art on my mind. I thought I’d mix things up and share some of my very favorite Etsy artists with you today. I absolutely believe that what’s on our walls seeps into the hearts of our families.
Art prints on Etsy are usually pretty affordable, and shopping through them means supporting a mom, wife, friend just like you and me. Let’s dive in!
1. Spenderbuks
Danish artist Nynne Rosenvinge does abstract art prints in pastels. They’re feminine and whimsical with just a touch of mystery, thanks to the use of blacks and grays as well. I’ve had my eye on Nynne’s work for about a year, and I plan to purchase something as soon as I narrow it down. Maybe this one? Or this one for Quinn’s room? Choices, choices…
2. Sweet Dreams and Honey
For soft photography that makes you feel like you’re far, far away, British artist and mom Laura Evans is your girl. I have an abiding love for photos of populated beaches (which is random, since I’d rather be on an empty beach in real life), so I’m a bit obsessed with this print.
3. Honeycup
Most of this Australian-based artist’s work is of cute characters that would look darling in a nursery, but I’m also taken with this mixed media art print for anywhere in my home.
4. Up in the Air Somewhere
Tell me you aren’t drooling over these hand-crafted ceramics with gold leafing. If you need a place to toss your keys, why not buy from this Midwesterner artist. (Can anyone resist gold polka dots??)
5. Eye Poetry Photography
City lights, rolling country hills, galloping white horses—whatever your thing is, this artist has got it. Canadian Irene Suchocki says her work combines her love of travel and nature with a dreamlike aesthetic. Perfect description. I also really like her winter scenes, for some seasonal decor.
6. House of Belonging
I’m smitten—for the beauty of their pieces, for the quotes and sayings they choose, but mostly, for their vision. If what’s on our walls matters as much as I think it does, the family behind this shop agrees. My current favorites?
{1} “Little boys should never be sent to bed. They always wake up a day older.” Peter Pan
{2} “Perhaps this is the moment for which you have been called.” Esther 4:14
I’d love to hear where you guys have found affordable art for your home, since I’m on the hunt for mine! If you have any favorite Etsy shops or other art sources, fire away!

Spenderbuks! What a fantastic name!
My absolute favorite for children’s rooms is trafalgarssquare on Etsy. I have two prints in the nursery and two in Wendy’s room . . . I’m addicted. 🙂
And if you haven’t checked out Gracelaced Shoppe, you definitely should. (Not an Etsy shop.) I follow her on Instagram and I just finally bought a print from her. Apparently I’m drawn to watercolors, haha.
