Antique Citrus Art Prints {Pottery Barn Look-Alikes} ~ Free Printable Set

Ah... to appreciate the lovely things at the expensive stores when your budget is that of a farmer. Why does one even look you may ask? In this case, it is to get ideas... as those are free my friends! :)

Pottery Barn sold these prints a few seasons ago and I fell in love with them. First off, you can see I have become a bit addicted to citrus ever since I started the citrus series for the winter months. Secondly, I just thought they were a really neat and unique antique design. As they no longer sell these prints, I have attempted to create something similar.

They aren't exactly the same. It is just the idea that is there. Our encyclopedia background is circa 1911 with an antique colored background (shown below) while the original is white (shown above). We also used more of a scientific botanical print from the Victorian Era which shows the detailed plant parts. 

A Sample of Our Version

"Creativity is a part of personality. Surely the place where you as a personality live should speak of your creativity in some way."

~ Edith Schaeffer, The Hidden Art of Home-Making 

We are offering our version to any who are interested. If you print them out in their original 8 1/2 by 11 size on card-stock and frame them, I think they would look lovely in a kitchen. If you were to find a set of frames at a second-hand store and paint them to match your decor, it would make a nice and frugal decoration (notwithstanding the cost of printer ink). I hope you have enjoyed this little homemaking project. Have a lovely week!



For the free downloadable lemon print, visit here and for the orange print, visit here. There should be a printer icon at the top of the page which you can use to print instantly. I have tried using Google docs for my downloads this time in hopes that it will be more user-friendly. Please (pretty please!) let me know if this is a better and/or easier "printable" option (even if only for the sake of experiment and even if you don't print it, do you think you will be able to access it easier?)! Thank you so much in advance for the feedback!
