Chilled out tourists and hipster expats flock to Tulum, Mexico, but not just for its clear Caribbean waters and ancient Mayan sites. The remote destination, about two hours south of Cancún, also offers a distinctive seaside aesthetic where the beach meets the ocean. In the well-traveled hotel zone, traditional oceanside elements like straw roofs collide with restaurants that feel more like enchanted forest groves. On a recent visit, I couldn't stop snapping photos for decorating inspiration. Check out seven ideas to steal from Tulum's outdoor decor.

A Salvage Chic Wedding
Here's a post from Nancy from the Lovely Little Vignettes group.
My friends Kevin and Joy recently got married at Architectural Artifacts in Chicago, an incredible 80,000-square-foot store/event space specializing in antiques, found objects, architectural salvage, and all sorts of other treasures. As a shopper, I highly recommend it, but it was also an awesome place to have a wedding. I helped with the centerpieces, and the store let us pluck from the inventory to create these found-object arrangements. I couldn't resist buying one of the pieces, an antique mold for making doll heads. Click through to see the awesome space and decor.
