{Lately Loving} Slim Aarons

 

 

For a while now J & I have talked about getting a new couch.  I love my couch, but with our current living room, we can only seat 4-5 people & it just isn't practical since we love having people over. I've always wanted a sectional & we finally decided to go for it.  However, with a new couch came a new coffee table. With a new coffee table came a new lamp. With a new lamp, came a new plant (J is unaware of this until now. Surprise!)  With a new lamp, came new living room art.  And here we are. J & I can rarely agree on art & usually I just buy what I like & he deals with it.  However, for the living room I really wanted to do something fun & what we CAN agree on is photographs, well most of the time. A while back I posted about a photographer I've become obsessed with, Gray Malin & while stalking browsing his Instagram, he mentioned a photographer, Slim Aarons.  Of course I had to go check him out & I just fell in love. His images scream California & they would certainly brighten up our little LA abode. I knew I had to get one of his photos & since I was suddenly redoing our living room, it was the perfect chance to incorporate  his work. Of course, like most things I'm drawn to, his photos are expensive.  Well, thanks to Christmas/Hanukkah, I was able to get some gift cards to One Kings Lane.  I will be doing a living room reveal once I have it all put together, & some of the photos below might be found in our new place...so stay tuned for that!  Anyways, here are some of my favorites. I'd love to hear yours!
