{2nd anniversary art}



We will be celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary next week and in keeping with the tradition we started last year we started searching around for another piece of art to add to our collection.   We chose to go with a large photo print from our wedding day for our first anniversary which you can see see right here.  This year, I came across these amazing palm leaf watercolor prints from The Aestate and thought one of them could be perfect!  The more I tried to decide which of the four variations of the Beverly print series was the best the more it occurred to me that it could be amazing to grab up three of them to create a sort of large triptych piece.  I also briefly entertained the idea of having them print us one extra large one like this, but the custom framing cost behind something that large is atrocious (over $600!!!).  We picked up white frames for these from Ikea and depending where we move to we could always switch them out for the walnut finish frame or even paint them!

    1. Hi Emilie,

      The prints inside are 20 by 30 and the prints are a bit bigger- they are these ones from Ikea:

  3. Hi, I love love your dinning table set. Where did you get it from? I been looking everywhere for something like that and it is so hard to find white leather chairs =/

  4. The table is from an Indonesian importer called R&D imports. The chairs are actually white fabric not leather and they are from Ikea. Hope that helps!
