i have a whole pinterest board full of ideas for our future home
but this photo has me dreaming of long-forgotten photography:
a blown up vintage life magazine cover = instant art with some history thrown in- what a fun idea! i searched the life magazine archive for a couple of interesting covers and these are my favorites::
 |
| [i'd love to put either of these covers in our living room] |
 |
| [art for your dressing room or walk in closet] |
 |
| [perfect for a nursery or child's bedroom] |

really love it. im much more of a photograph person then say a painting person
My parents have three framed: JFK Assassination, Pope visiting the US and The Moon Landing and they're so awesome.
I can picture this melding so well in a cabin setting, or lakehouse, similar to your picture above. Hopping over to check out the worst covers ever, should be entertaining ;)
I'll always adore that Audrey cover, so lovely!
Haha I love those worst ones! Too funny! Thanks for sharing! xx
very cool idea, thanks for sharing!!

Love this! I'm obsessed with Life magazine covers
I totally agree with you! Life magazine covers make the best artwork! I scored huge at an antigue store - I picked up a book full of the most famous Live covers and when I got home I found that there were 15 prints inside that you could pull out and frame!
I love this idea. It makes me think of my friend who has this massive WWII poster on her wall. I asked her where she got it and she said she found it in her grandma's attic. I was so blown away! I wish more people kept awesome things like that. I love all things vintage and LIFE captures every time period so well.
OMG!!!!! I want this SO BAD!!
Love the Kennedys one!
I've always loved the idea of having Life magazines as artwork in my home. My aunt even sent me her collection to use from Chicago, but it's still sitting at my parents' house right now. Maybe when we move in May, I will find the motivation to get them framed and put them up!
Hope you have a fabulous day my dear.

This would add such a classic touch to either an ultra modern or really homey room! I'd have a hard time decking which cover!
What a fabulous decor idea! Love the idea of putting them in a children's room!

a framed life cover would be SO amazing on the wall. loove the audrey one! xo
I love old Life covers, but never thought of making them the focal point of the room. Love this idea! And it's an easy way to get that pop of red into a room!
I love this! I have some old vogue covers framed in my room and they're always so inspiring!
PIECE OF CAKE. PEACE OF MIND.
Such a great idea. I love the Kennedys and Audrey of course. :)
What a cool idea! I love this.
This makes such an incredible statement and serves as a lovely reminder of the past! Great inspiration, Jillian :) XO brynn
This is so fantastic, and the effect on a room would be amazing!
i love these! i want some for my classroom! :)
love, leigh
I love the Audrey cover! That is such a great idea, history as art. And I just love the sheer scale of it.
Those are really cool! My grandfather converted an old barn on his property into his office (2-story, loft style) -- He covered the walls in old flight posters from American Airlines...it was so neat! I snagged the Paris one, but it's so big I don't really have anywhere to hang it! :)
