OMM: southwest style

Happy 2013!! I can still say that even though we are a few weeks in, right?!? I am going to extend the happiness welllllllllll into January because it's such a downer when the holidays are over!

Anyway! We were blessed to spend our Christmas holiday in Santa Fe. It is the most charming, unique place and I am still dreaming about the "Land of Enchantment." Unfortunately for many people, when they hear "southwest style" images such as the below are conjured.

But I am here to advocate on behalf of this style! Just like any other design element, it can be done really well or really not-so-well. So I wanted to share some images that are GORGEOUS examples of southwest style.

I think I will be dreaming of my trip for months to come. Good thing we have a summer Santa Fe trip already planned :)

Looking to bring a bit of southwest style to your home? Here are some ideas.
