Enjoy City Inspired Artwork

We love living in Los Angeles and feel a big sense of pride for our adopted city! The beautiful and interesting architecture, people and culture of our west coast home has definitely influenced the design style in our own space.

We recently spotted this simple yet impactful LA-inspired artwork and immediately snapped it up. City titles in a simple white font set against a black background instantly provides great thoughts and emotions about Southern California. Plus we love the large narrow leaning frame. And if you'd like to spotlight your own city, this could be a fun, affordable and easy DIY.

Whether it's artwork, a style of furniture or color scheme, try incorporating your city's style and your own city pride into your home decor. To check out more Los Angeles style, click here to take a look through some of our recent house tours.

I love it! I grew up in Long Beach (and attended CSULB) and I would love to have a piece of art in my house to remind me and my friends of my awesome home town.

"la inspired artwork"? aren't these vintage bus of light rail signs or at least copies of them? certainly looks like a route read top to bottom.

Yeah - I agree with healthyhome - it's either a vintage bus/light rail sign or a reproduction of one. I think maybe it's the thing that would go above front window that would rotate to show the next stop. And when you unroll the whole thing - viola! I've got friends who have the same thing only it's NYC locations.

Hey, that first one is 82% Orange County-inspired not LA!
