Painterly Patterns

Have you noticed one of the newest design trends out there lately? Watercolor Prints are making their mark on the decor and fashion industry!

I don’t do it very often anymore… ‘stuff’ get in the way! I think I might start back up after seeing all of the new watercolor trends…

    I’m such a fan of those CB2 pillows, and it’s *killing me* that the colors don’t go with anything in my house at the moment. Such a shame!

    Thanks for the heads up on trends. I really like these colors and the painterly quality is a bonus. I’m buying pillow and table runner fabric next week and I’ll keep this trend in mind.

  • ☀️ Sea + Sun + Smiles We drove across the state last week for a vacay with family! Had a great time and I was so in the moment, I only took a few photos! We had incredible weather and basically lived our best lives all day on the beach and in the pool together! . . I have had a few messages asking where I have been on insta…. The truth is, I have been soaking up time with my kids, working on a few home updates and spending as much time at the beach and in our pool
