Meet Artist Aaron Anstett

We live in a town of artisans and every once in a while we come across an exceptional find of quality craftsmanship that is worthy of sharing as a Country Porch favorite. Such is the case of young Aaron Anstett and his 3-D wooden puzzles from Ocean Explosion. Take a tour and know that these beautiful tabletop art pieces are perfect for beach and cabin decor.

Catalina
Zesty! We love this cheery stripe in primary colors reminding us of vintage deck chairs and bright summer awnings. It’s just about perfect for beach house and retro décor and we love pairing it up with our beautiful Village Bakeware from Park Designs.

Blue Laguna
Vivid stripes in shades of cool blue, dandelion, celery, moss and cream make a beeline on this very soft sateen weave fabric. Blue Laguna comes in table linens and offers a matching curtain valance.

Placemats and table runners are self-backed and coordinate beautifully with our NEW Village Ceramics and Depression Glassware Collection from Park Designs. For a little more sizzle, mix it up with the bright solids of Malibu.

Tossed Salad

For more fun, Tossed Salad comes in lined point valances and ruffled chairpads, all trimmed in moss mini-checks. Seed Packet Dishtowels and coordinating Ceramic Collection are a delightful mix with our NEW green Depression Glass Collection.

York Lights
Lighten up! Choose this traditional pattern of large checks in your choice of sage or country blue on soft white bordered in mini-check. How cute is that? It's an all time favorite here at The Country Porch and a repeated best seller from Park Designs.

Make your kitchen even cozier with York Lights country style curtains in valances or swags. Treat yourself to the shabby chic look with our Chelsea Collection or add a little sparkle with pewter napkin rings and a bit of glow with an antique replica Chamberstick lamp.

Arbor Stripe
Think fun in the sun, time away, leisure! Pretty stripes of pastel moss, sage, pumpkin, teal, and wheat on a natural background remind us of canvas deck chairs and time at the lake. Give your table a summertime look with Pineapple or Dragonfly napkin rings in your choice of antique brass or pewter.

Navy Colonial Star
Americana at its most classic! Imagine bold checks of navy and embroidered colonial stars of country red on a tan background.
