with warmer weather rapidly approaching, here's a round-up of some summery-inspired artwork for your walls.
i’m just back from my palm springs retreat (more on that soon), and it put me in the mood to share some summery-inspired artwork with you. from vintage photography from collages to the condé nast archives to surf posters and beyond, one of the easier ways to give your home a summer vibe is to simply change out your artwork. i rearrange my home galleries all the time, and it’s fun to see an old print come to life again in a brand new location. there are tons of art resources online, like tappan collective, saatchi art, etsy, and chairish — all of them stocking affordable artwork. i’ve rounded up a few beachy favorites for you.

OMG, I love these images so much. I am originallly from Newport Beach, but left at an early age. These vintage beach photos take me back to the most fond memories of my childhood. Thank you!
A few years ago Rinascente had a show with all of the original artwork from their ads. I went like 10 times, pulling out drawers & poster displays until I saw every single piece
