One Theme: Two Ways (Beach Edition)

I have been thinking about how different trends are interpreted by different designers, buyers, merchandisers, and stores. I thought it would be a fun segment to do a compare and contrast of popular themes in decor and their interpretations by major decor stores, like Anthropologie, Pottery Barn, West Elm, Ballard, etc.. It's the "you say tomato, I say tomato" of design. I guess that works better when said out loud, eh?

I hope you enjoyed the segment. I feel like all of these pieces are unique twists on beachy, sea-inspired decor.  I hope you found inspiration. Are you a bohemian Anthropologie shopper or do you like the more classic Pottery Barn look? Or perhaps you are like to mix traditional and whimsical pieces.
