Did you know…Keep Calm and Carry On was a poster produced by the British government in 1939 during the beginning of World War II, to raise the morale of the British public in the case of invasion. It was little known and never used. The poster was rediscovered in 2000 and has been re-issued by a number of private sector companies, and used as the decorative theme for a range of other products.
Now’s your chance to have your own Keep Calm and Carry On piece of art to give your own space a little makeover! This week I’m holding an Art.com giveaway where you could win either this red or teal 18×24 Giclee print worth $49.99! You pick!
I used these rooms to illustrate how either of these pieces could perfectly perk up and complete your living room (or bedroom, kids room, dining room…) with either a red print or a teal print!
So, here’s the scoop:
1. To enter the giveaway, simply visit Art.com to check out the vast array of prints, pictures, art and posters and leave a comment on this post telling me which piece is your favorite. The winner will be selected this weekend… good luck!
