The Art of Simple sells unique finds and home accessories.
Seaside and its merchants continue to make headline news. The Art of Simple in Seaside has been selected as one of the South’s Best by Southern Living magazine. The exclusive list celebrates the spectacular sights, inspiring destinations, and cultural institutions that define the South in 2017. To create the first ever South’s Best list, Southern Living surveyed more than 22,000 readers on the best-loved places in 13 categories: bars, breweries, cities, hotels, inns, islands, museums, resorts, restaurants, shops, small towns, tailgates, and barbecue joints. And The Art of Simple was named one of the Best Shops in the South.
