{Vintage Swimsuits & Shadow Boxes}

We recently spent some time at a friends home in Avalon, NJ.
Gorgeous! It was big and beautiful, and clean and fresh.
Life is simple and easy there.
And...of course I couldn't help but thinking what I would do to it to add this family's 
personality to it.

One thing I thought of for one of their large walls was vintage swimsuits, framed in shadow boxes.
So I searched around the blog world and found some great inspiration...

I love the look of the collection. Along with the unusual color scheme.

And, this little number I might just take off the wall and wear to the beach, hah!

What do you think? Do you love the shade box? So many directions you could go with it.
