Trendy Tuesday ~ Brush Strokes

Hey everyone!! I'm back after a brief hiatus from the blog. If you follow along on Instagram or my Facebook page, you would have known we took a quick vacation to visit friends and family in Canada to celebrate Canada Day, then made it back just in time for (unfortunately a rainy) Independence Day in the US. We are so lucky to be a part of not one, but two great nations, and to celebrate both of their birthdays was pretty special. In case you missed it, you can see a few pics form our vacation in the Instagram feed on my sidebar, and make sure to follow along while you are at it!! @JTBeesKnees. 

Now onto another edition of Trendy Tuesday.....




I'm loving this latest nod to abstract art that seems to be spilling over into the world of Home Decor; the bold simplicity of brush strokes. You can find this graphic statement everywhere right now from DIY art to wallpaper to fabric. Let's take a closer look at this latest design trend.
