We spend so much time focusing on finding the perfect thing for our Latitudes customers, that often we overlook our own homes! So we are sharing some of our “Favorite Things” with you and finally designing our own walls.
Stephanie:
“In 2017 I am definitely going to surround myself in nature’s beauty. I want to start first with my favorite recent dunes photograph from the shores near my home. I like it so much on wood…it creates the natural and rustic feel that I like for my home, lots of natural materials and texture give it the warmth that I love.”
Stephanie’s Favorite- 40″x60″ “Seaside Sunset” Artisan Wood Print
“I love to decorate with warmth and texture”
Steve:
“The living room in our Kauai Condo is usually decorated with my surf boards and gear. I have had a few images on this wall but it has been sitting empty for awhile. I love “Foamy Flute” in a canvas triptych…it just makes me feel good.”
Steve’s Favorite- 30″x60″ “Foamy Flute” Gallery Wrap Canvas Triptych.
“Foamy Flute just makes me feel good.”
Tasha:
“We have always had this awkward niche in our home where nothing ever quite felt right. As the entry focal point it needs to be big & bold, and with two story high ceilings it’s hard to update the look. I love Stephanie’s new “Matador Beach” because of the motion of the water and the glow of the sun. The colors are just right to tie into the caramel & sand wall color accents and variety of wood tones in this space. Canvas wrap is so versatile, it works perfectly with my eclectic style.”
Tasha’s Favorite- 72″x 108″ “Matador Beach” Gallery Wrap Canvas Triptych.
“This niche needed wow factor.”
Alex:
“Living in one of Ventura’s victorian homes, it’s been challenging arranging furniture and finding proper wall spaces to display my artwork. When I studied Marine Biology, I fell deeply in love with Orcas, and although I have never had the opportunity to see one in the wild, they are one of my favorite marine mammals because of their agility and intelligence. I’m in awe that Steve Munch was able to capture an Orca right off of our coast near the Channel Islands. My medium of choice is acrylic for “Orca at Arch Rock” due to it’s ability to translate a swift moving animal so clearly.”
Alex’s Favorite- 40″x60″ “Orca at Arch Rock” Acrylic
“One day I hope to be as lucky and see one of these beautiful beings with my own eyes, but for now, I love seeing the Orca through his.”
Kimberly:
“Two Trees, Topa Topa” has long been a favorite image of ours. I especially like that these two iconic geographical features are seemingly at the same elevation. And who could resist that special moment of the day when the sky turns every color but blue? The framed signature series not only added a little dimension to the mounted canvas, but also gave the living room a finished feel. We love coming home to this beautiful scene and are so glad we “found ours!”
The Pantone Color of the Year for 2017 has arrived, and with it, a breath of fresh air. We couldn’t agree more with their sentiments about this luscious hue. In the gallery we often find people come in just to relax and remind themselves of the beauty in our surroundings.
Ventura county certainly hit the mother nature jackpot. In the last month alone, we’ve had monster surf, sunny spring days, snow covered Topa Topa Mountains, and weeks of pouring rain gifting us with green hillsides and Channel Islands reminiscent of Ireland. Does it get any better? Bring the outdoors in this year, and reconnect with one of Latitudes images in this refreshing hue- “Greenery”.
