This weekend's Get the Look: Decor is inspired by the Brooklyn, NY home of illustrator Alex Eben Meyer and his girlfriend Anna. Their home features a clean mix of simple design elements with bright pops of color and lots of whimsy. The walls are covered with Alex's black and white architectural illustrations, as well as artwork they've collected from friends, art shows and festivals, while Anna's handmade pillows and gorgeous crocheted blanket brighten up the home.
Today we're going to show you how to achieve Alex and Anna's simple, modern look using elements found on Etsy. You can view more inspiring photos of Alex and Anna's home in the Sneak Peeks column on design*sponge.

high wire
Alex and Anna's use of artwork to hide their large air conditioner wall-unit is a genius idea. I really like the simple lines and bold color featured in this piece by Philadelphia artist WalkingToJericho. While this print is only 8x10", she also offers custom sizes up to 30x30".
