“I’ve been searching for the perfect prints for our Palm Springs vacation home and so glad I found these at Helm & Oar! The quality of the prints and the framing are top notch. Shipping was fast and easy. I love the idea of the endless frame in case I want to switch up the vibes in the future. Very happy with my purchase and now looking to collect more!”

Where was Me Time photographed?
In Los Angeles, California, beside a turquoise pool.
Is Me Time good pool wall art?
Yes. It shows a candid moment beside a turquoise pool, and it suits living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms and gallery walls.

White keeps the pool scenes bright, as with Me Time. Black frames the desert road crisply. Hickory and Heritage Walnut warm the golden light.
The moment
Me Time: the story behind the photograph
A quiet afternoon by the pool in Los Angeles. A woman reaches for a white cover-up, palms and a bright wall behind her, the water perfectly still.
It is a small, candid moment, the kind Andrew has chased since his first Polaroids. Nostalgic, a little playful and full of light.
Hang it where you want to slow down.
At home
Poolside wall art for the living room, and beyond
Sunlit and a little nostalgic, these photographs bring a California afternoon indoors.
Under a picture light
Me Time in a White frame under a brass light, as in the photo at the top of this page, turns a quiet corner into a reading nook.
In a bathroom or bedroom
A pool scene brings calm and color to the rooms where you unwind.
As a pair
Ask For Nothing and Hitch Hikers Guide share a warm, sunlit palette, so they hang well side by side.
