Come With Me...

...to the tropics!  Tropical design is a tricky one, don't you think?  It can easily slip into what I call "Magnum P.I." decor, but when done right*, I think it's fantastic.  Check out these beauties and imagine yourself actually being there!


 *and in the right climate - it somehow doesn't fly here in the Seattle rain :)

This entry, and the next image, set just the right mood...

Rose is the perfect beverage for this setting!

Funny I didn't even notice that little doggie until I pasted this image into this post.  Cute!

This is the home of Allegra Hicks - she lives the ubiquitous beach life.

Mother Nature knows best!
Rich violet and shades of lime would be a stunning addition to a neutral palette.

Awesome pillars.



Chic Tropical.

Killer lighting.  Wow.

So cool!  
I love the shades of beautiful woods on traditional surfboards - gorgeous!

Wake up, throw on your flip flops and head down to the beach.  Not bad.

You can't go to the tropics and not take a nap in a hammock!

If you're interested you can find an older post of tropical designs here.


Also, a big THANK YOU for all of the supportive comments about me posting less frequently.  Thanks again for being awesome readers, friends and/or fellow bloggers. (some of you are all three - lucky me!)
