Guest Picks: Colorful Art
Punchy prints and paintings are a surefire way to brighten up bare walls around the home
My husband and I just bought our first home. While we haven't moved in yet, my mind is spinning with how I'm going to furnish it (the manager at West Elm knows me by name) and decorating ideas. Luckily my day job is blogger (http://youaremyfave.com/blog/) so my projects can double as work.

The walls in my new home are still quite bare, and I'm looking to add some color. Here are some punchy prints that I've spotted around the web that are contenders for my walls. I love that good art is so accessible now, thanks to the internet. — Melanie from You Are My Fave

I own a Lulie Wallace painting, and I call it my happy painting; it always elicits a smile when I look at it.
I'd love to own an original Yangyang for the amazing texture. The color is pretty fantastic too.
Brightly colored buttons create a great pattern and remind me of candy.
This is another abstract piece that I'm crazy about. It just pops.
The softness of this piece will please the woman in the house, and the colors will please the man — win-win.
Mint green is the color of the moment, and this painting mixes it with other colors that are just spot on.

A color wheel alphabet print is perfect for livening up the walls of a kids room.

| I really like the scale of this piece; it's big and bold. |
I can't think of a more pleasing subject matter.
This print is simple and happy, like a box of crayons.
Colorful stripes are always a win.
I like the retro feel of this print. It has great colors and a great shape.

The title for this is "City Lights," which I think is just perfect.
This reminds me of the quilting projects my mom always seemed to be working on.
The geometric pattern is very on trend right now.
This one is entitled "Jelly Belly," and it definitely does look like a bin of jelly beans.
This looks like a bunch of dried leaves from trees in a Dr. Seuss book.

I like the mosaic look of this painting.
This looks like a colorful firework show, and what's happier than that?
