Cranes, Herons & Egrets

I'm not quite done with the prints discussion...one of my favorite subjects for prints (and anything really) is birds...particularly cranes, herons and egrets.

These elegant leggy creatures, that I always confuse with each other, appeal to me because they are not only found in Chinoiserie art and accents, but are also found in the lowcountry of South Carolina perching beautifully along the marshes and coastal areas - a gorgeous sight if you've seen it.

I'm a sucker for avian John James Audubon (or Audubon-esque) prints, and I've been contemplating these for a while:

The first one in particular has all of the colors of our bedroom, so I think it might find a home there if I can figure out where to hang it (90% of our rooms walls are sloped and thus not good for hanging).

You can find all of these prints on art.com by searching the term "heron"...and you'll get similar results on eBay by searching "heron print" or "Audubon print".

OKL Alert: Vintage Print

Holy moly, have you seen the offerings from Vintage Print currently on OKL??? They are gorgeous...and I looooove prints, a little too much I think. I would do pairs/sets of prints all over my house if it wasn't overkill (I almost, almost bought yet another pair of prints at HomeGoods last night).

So as a print-lover, these are killer. And there are some gorgeous sets available here...they are a little pricey, but don't a set of prints make such a lovely impact in a room? So elegant and symmetrical...this sale has many to pick from (and as I type, I believe these are all still available)...

For the sea/beach/nautical lover:

For the butterfly lover (I think these are my favorite...I have a very similar print in my living room, but I only found one...I would have loved a set like this - I love the black mixed with the vibrant colors)...

For the nature lover...

 

For the equestrian (these are my second favorite!)

For the vintage fashionista:

I'll take them all :)
