Summer Art

I recently picked up a few new pieces of art that have a decidedly summer feel to them, and while I plan to leave them up all year, they are making me especially happy paired with all the sunshine we've been enjoying. 

I love the trend toward using coastal inspired elements (in moderation!) and a few beach-y prints or paintings are the perfect way to incorporate that summer vacation feel without getting kitschy. Here is a round up of some of my faves!

Pillow Talk: Simply Summer

Whether on a porch swing, a back patio, or in your blissful air-conditioning, summer is perfect for grabbing a novel, a tall glass of iced tea, and kicking back for awhile. These throw pillows are some of my favorites for the season! You don't have to give up coziness or texture just because it's summer either! Just be sure to balance heavier knits with bright colors and lighter fabrics.

Pillows are easy to rotate with the seasons. Choose a few neutral ones as your base and then add bolder prints or seasonal styles to liven a space.

As a general rule, pair: 
{1 organic print - floral, leaves/vines, etc} {1 geometric print} {1+ solid or very small scale print}

There are other combinations that will work lovely, but this is a great place to start.
