What I Wish Was on My Walls Right Now

Last week, inspired by art with exotic birds, I started a wish-list of framed art I’d like to see on my walls this year (maybe not all in one room). I seem to be into a retro/metro/hula girl/graphic-prints/global style these days, both in my wardrobe and my décor, but somehow it all works together!

So here they are: my top 5 art picks for this season.

1) Tiki Bamboo

As you can see, I’m really into retro art these days, but with an island feel. Notice the funky stained bamboo frame I found to go with it?

2) Constant II
By Brent Nelson

The big city girl in me loves the contemporary, Abstract feel of Brent Nelson’s work. I thought a sleek, simple black frame would showcase this print best.

3) Waikiki
By Scott Westmoreland

Hey. If I can’t get to Waikiki, at least I can have it on my walls!

4) Vertical Focus I
by Lisa Kowalski

Isn’t this fabulously wacky? There’s something decidedly ultramodern about geometric art prints. I thought a clean, stainless steel frame would work best with this image.

5) Floating Motion
By Aleah Koury

Exotic and elegant. This Asian art print would beautifully complement my celadon green living room walls and red paisley sofa.

Well that's it from me for now. Want to add to this list? By all means -- show me what inspires you!
