I am spending the month of July seaside,
and today I want to share ideas
for bringing the beach to your home any time you want
Naturally art comes to mind,
it can instantly transport you to the beach
or bring the coastal feeling into your home
“Sea Oats” available here
Making accessories with paint and sea shells is easy and fun,
recycling and decorating at the same time!
See the how to for the bottle here and the tray here
Embellish a decorative bottle with twine and seashells
Create a Washed Ashore Centerpiece,
fill a tray or shallow basket with shells, netting,
sea glass, bottles and boats
Fill candle hurricanes and lanterns with seashells and beachy things
for instant beach decor
Fill your home with beachy accessories
There is a great selection in my Society 6 Shop
See the Take me to the Sea collection here
and the Tropical collection here
Treat yourself to a festive Pineapple Cocktail
Make a Bahama Beach Bundt Cake
it’s tropical blue with brown sugar sand and white chocolate seashells
Or make a batch of Beach Bum Butter Rum cupcakes
and top them with a colorful umbrella
Throw pillows are a great way to quickly change out your decor
These are available in my Society 6 shop here
Turn your dinner table into a vacation experience
by using a coastal theme
Create a centerpiece or table runner with fish, shells,
a lighthouse and nautical things
Create a little beach town with wood cottages and small adorandak chairs
A fresh pineapple will take you straight to the tropics!
Candlelight reflecting off of blue and green glass,
and centerpiece with a tall bottle and a lantern filled with glass
A cute pair of flip flops and a sign to the beach
will make you almost feel your toes in the sand
A centerpiece of faux palm leaves will help you feel the sea breezes…
Set your table with a school of colorful fish and palm tree candlesticks
and you’ll feel like you’re right by the water
I saved my favorite for last,
decorate a holiday tree for summer!
A big splash of coastal fun!
