Nantucket Style.....Art

I am continuing my 31 days of Nantucket Style. If you would like to start at the beginning, go here

When I think of artwork, I often think of my surroundings. The obvious choice for a beach house would be nautical artwork. Nautical artwork can get really tacky. I remember Nate Berkus saying to someone, "You don't have to have an Eiffel Tower statue for us to know that you love Paris". 


I love Etsy, and thought that would be the perfect way to shop for tasteful beach house art.

I love the first one and any of the more abstract ones. I have a similar one in my bedroom and it really does make me feel more serene, like I am right there on the beach.

Lovely! I like the deep blue abstract by Sarah Lapp. It is in the colors I love right now. When are we going to Nantucket? Never been there, but sure looks like fun!

We are in the midst of redoing an 1800's beach house and looking for art. Love your picks and can't wait to visit their sites. Thanks for the introduction to new Etsy artists!!

The first one and the tall one with the cobalt and azure colors are my favorites. So inspiring and one immediately feels relaxed with any of these. Thanks for the inspiration, Linda!
