San Francisco based artist Julia Kostreva has an online shop featuring 2012 planners, notebooks, pillow covers and art prints. I really like her clean, colorful designs and I’m especially smitten with the planners seeing as how better organization is always my list of New Year’s resolutions. Check out Julia’s full selection goods here.

Christina is the writer behind the design blog, Down and Out Chic. She’s a budget-friendly design huntress that’s passionate about art and the handmade movement. She adores all things striped and polka dotted and would spend most of her afternoons vintage shopping if her closet were big enough. Find her on Twitter or at D&OC.

With the recent move I’ve been a bit obsessed with trying to repopulate our home with unique decor items that give me a special feeling. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but when I saw the laser cut wall art from Pepper Sprouts, I thought, “This might just work!”

Now the problem is to find which room to put it in: Office, living space, play space, or entry?

More modern home accessories await you at Pepper Sprouts.
