I think the right choice of vintage movie posters, if tastefully framed, makes an awesome addition to your home decor. Vintage movie posters say a lot about you and your tastes, they can make a witty and kitschy addition to your game room or hallway or living room.

Take this “Super Fly” poster that pays homage to the pimpin’ 70’s! If I saw this in someone’s home it would either exude cool or based on the occupant say “I’m trying to hard too be hip”. Ha! It’s really quite a crap shoot.

Try your hand at vintage cool by checking out the following low priced movie posters.

Everyone knows that Andy Warhol is famous for his Pop Art! From the infamous Marilyn Monroe prints to immortalizing a Campbell’s tomato soup can, Andy Warhol was the Prince of Pop in the 1950’s!

Most people are familiar with his famous works but I came across this poster from Andy Warhol called “Four Pandas” and I think it is absolutely adorable! I imagine it gracing the wall of a cultured child’s bedroom or in the living space of a fresh twenty something, heck it would even look nice in the hallway of an open minded older gent!

The beauty of art is, it’s open to interpretation. You see what you want to see or in this case you decorate how you want to decorate. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure as the old saying goes.

Price of poster - $44.99

In the quest to decorate my home fabulously, I have been thinking of investing in some fine art to adorn my barren walls. Been shopping around for some nice art pieces from fledging artists, I don’t know why they call them “starving artists” because for the price of some of their pieces they should be filthy rich.

Consequently, I have now humbled myself to search for quality prints from major artists. I know I may not have an “original” on my walls but beggars who can barely pay their mortgage shouldn’t be choosers, right?

Here are some lovely finds:
