Seahorses

Today, I'm inspired by Seahorses. Maybe I'm just so proud of the guys, who really pull their weight in the relationship, but I'm pretty sure it's because their very appearance is deliciously whimsical and innocent. Yet, as playful as they appear, don't you see a kind of confidence and regal poise to them too?

In real life seahorses are very colorful characters, changing colors to match their surroundings and even coming in "zebra stripes" and spots. And in home decor, they are amenable to every color whim that inspires you or suits your fancy.

Hey, speaking of zebra stripes, apparently seahorses can be paired with almost any pattern, including those not necessarily associated with beach decor.

But don't limit them to only bright colors.  Seahorses can wow you even with neutrals and natural textures. This one single seahorse sets a subtle theme for this entire outdoor space.
