Luxe Decor: Slim Aaron's Gallery Wall

My guest room has really taken a back seat in the progress of our house in the past year. I have so many ideas and good intentions of pulling it together but other things just keep taking priority. 

I figured I had to start somewhere, so I recently framed a few fabulous Slim Aaron photographs and put together a gallery wall. We live in paradise (here in South Florida), afterall, so I think it's nice for house guests to be reminded of the beautiful Palm Beach surroundings as well as other exotic locations.

I just framed these Slim Aaron's photographs. I'm not sure where I'll hang them permanently but I'm loving them over my dresser in the meantime!

Luxe Lifestyle: In The Spirit Of Palm Beach

We been waiting quite some time for a fabulous, new coffee table book on Palm Beach and we got two within the last couple of months!  One being "Palm Beach Entertaining", which we posted about here, and the other, "In the Spirit of Palm Beach".  Pamela Fiori, the former editor-in-chief of Town & Country, has published several coffee table books, all featuring fabulous destinations around the world.  Her latest book features our beloved Palm Beach!  It is a sensational collection of iconic photos (many from the incredible Slim Aarons), clever quotes and tid bits of history about this beautiful place we call home!  

If you are from here, or have even just visited, it is a must for your coffee table!

I love this shot...I'd love to frame her from my dressing room!

My two favorite places in Palm Beach...Were I got engaged and were I got married!

The Nursery Diaries Part Ten: The Beach on Society6

In one of the first Nursery Diaries posts, I shared with you the Coney Island Beach Print that I already had and decided to hang over our crib.  The print is full of great colors, and the blurriness of the beach patrons provides a real abstract element to the photograph. 

The print comes from the hip and affordable art site Society6, and the more I searched the site, I found it to be a great resource for beach photos.  Again, such a great way to incorporate color and natural landscapes, and many of the photographs have a great vintage quality.

All of these prints are also very reminiscent of the incredible, yet not so budget- friendly beach photography by Massimo Vitali and Slim Aarons:

What a great way to get that vintage beach look to use in any room for less!
