Keep Calm {Trend Spotting}

Keep Calm Carry On Prints

Unless you’ve been living under a rock {like my husband}, you’ve seen that the “Keep Calm and Carry On” motto has become increasingly popular. I love them! But what I love most are the creative spins off of the “Keep Calm and Carry On” motto that I’ve been seeing across the web. My favorite has to be “Keep Calm, Harry is Still Single” but that won’t be appropriate for a nursery.

Here are some of my favorite Keep Calm prints for a child’s room or nursery.

Keep Calm Prints for Nursery

Keep Calm and Love Dogs {for animal lovers}, Keep Calm and Dance On {for little ballerinas}, Keep Calm and Rock Baby {for little babies}

Keep Calm Posters

Keep Calm and Sail On {for a nautical theme}, Keep Calm and Eat Cake {for Marie Antoinette or cake lovers}, Keep Calm and Eat a Cupcake {for cupcake lovers}

Cool Keep Calm Posters

Keep Calm and Hug a Pug {for pug lovers}, Keep Calm and Rock On {for the musically inclined}, and Keep Calm and Swim On {for a mermaid theme}

So tell me, which one is your favorite?

Michelle predicts that modern art will be huge this year and it will instantly update any room!

I’m a big fan of typography. I especially love to place a modern typographic print among non-traditional pieces. This trend will suit me just fine :)
