Sometimes I feel a little silly because I love shades of turquoise so much.  I’d love to be an all neutral kind of girl – I love the look.  But I can’t stop buying anything in turquoise.  It’s likely the ocean lover in me but whatever it is, it’s been a lifelong obsession.  I love that all three of the frames above that are in that hue have been gifts from people who know just how much I love my turquoise.

Most of the frames above are Target by threshold, which can almost do no wrong!  – specifially this (with the teil duncan memorial day print), this (with the LOVE NEVER FAILS print, and this (with my parents vows).  The others are Target clearance from who knows when – ages ago.  Collected from goodwill.  Or pottery barn (the one that has my pregnant belly!).

Most prints are Oh My Deer.  We have one map – a vintage one of Switzerland in a goodwill frame.

All family photos are by Jessica Lorren // Shark photo is by Shannon Kirsten.

I tried to break up the prints and photos with some other objects.  Iput the coral fan we found washed ashore on Dog Island in the BVI’s on the wall, along with a zinc letter – that was painted gold, and the brass flower starburst.  

The wall actually goes up quite a bit higher than pictured.  Not sure what we’ll do – if we’ll continue on up or  leave it a blank.  I put a million holes in the wall at first but then ended up using lots of these magic sticky guys – and that worked just as good.  Lesson to the wise, go that route – or your husband will have some spackling to do.  I didn’t do the smart thing and cut paper out to match each frame so I could arrange.  I just went for it, but I like things a little undone, not perfectly even is all right with me.

Thanks for all the sweet comments on instagram! xox
