Our guest room is almost done. {As is the awesome accent furniture Cam is building for me!!}
Living right on the glorious beach, it's sea inspired.
Like us this year. (: It's been a lot of fun getting it ready for you, R&B!
We're going for very simple and nautical.
I want to pick 1 or 2 from this little conglomeration of photos/quotes to frame.. thoughts?
{East China Sea}
{Ligurian Sea // Riomaggiore, Italia // Definitely framing this one, which will be the second photo by the lovely Mads in our home}
{South Pacific // How I love this one}
Traditional Okinawan oar two fishermen gave me today that we may paint
{they're also used in karate- which originated here on Oki}
and, how can I resist sharing tonight's sunset? It was utterly breathtaking.
Hope your weekend was wonderful!
Breathtaking !!! I feel captivated everytime I come to your blog because I just swoon over your photos! You seriously take the best pictures!
ReplyDeleteI love the second one and the second to last one! I bet the room is BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sunset - just lovely! Your pictures are always so pretty its hard to choose just one, but I think #2 is my fave!
ReplyDeleteYour posts are such a treat.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome they gave you those oars. I remember the Karate Kid took place in Okinawa. Had no clue Karate originated there. Makes sense!
beautiful sunset!!! wow! and #2 is my favorite to frame. xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove the quotes and the pics. Going to be hard to chose I would imagine. That oar is very neat.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Emerson quote and the photo with the little red and yellow sailboat. All of the pictures are beautiful, especially the sunset. I can't wait to watch the sunset at the beach this summer.
ReplyDeleteI adore Riomaggiore! My friends and I stayed in a little apartment for a few nights while doing a backpacking trip, and I fell in love. I'm dying to return to Cinque Terre!
ReplyDeleteWe are going to Riomaggiore for three nights this summer, so I partial to that picture - though they are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI feel confused. If you are going for a nautical theme - why aren't there any Lanna Bear boat pictures in the running?? Sure, East China sea is "beautiful" and South Pacific is "exotic" but Sadie and Snix on the Lanna Bear?? Now THAT makes for good wall art :) Also - my mom would LOVE the oar and vote to keep it natural and hang it on the wall along with a pic of the man who gave it to you!
ReplyDeleteSigh...
ReplyDeleteGoodness what a difficult choice..they are all so beautiful! Your posts always inspire me, Manda! :) Thanks for sharing such lovely things!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the finished room! I think you should just frame them all...they're absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAll the pictures are pretty, but the last one is my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty colors in the sky! it's amazing what God created for us :)
beautiful pictures, as always! your blog makes me itch to travel, yet it always relaxes me. happy blogging :)
ReplyDeleteoh my word that sunset. God is just so big.
ReplyDeleteI vote for the South Pacific and Mr. Emerson's quote.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely in love with the sea, loved this post. I vote for Italy!
ReplyDeleteOh I can't wait to decorate a home one day. I am loving that second picture! Vibrant colour everywhere! Nice score with the oars :D
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I want to live in these photos!
ReplyDeleteHow blessed are you to live in such a beautiful place!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that emerson quote. so perfect for your little guest room, aka my new bedroom.
ReplyDeletethanks.
