Summer Breeze!

Coastal Decor Magazine

There is just something about deep wood tones and the comfort of white surroundings.  Especially perfect here in this stunning oceanfront living room featured in Coastal Living Magazine.  No fabric color distractions to take away from the natural masterpiece of the sea.  Just a beautiful wood floor and accent tables.   A room filled with white simply does not allow clutter to accumulate in it (think of simple white t-shirts)!

A beautiful traditional coastal bath can bring old-world charm to your space.  Simply painted with white highlights brings out the deep wood tones.  There are actually more shades of white available than any other color.

In feng shui, white represents new beginnings.  White is the most versatile color that can help bring serenity and brightness to a darker room.

Brown linens against pure white in this bedroom gives it nautical charm without turning it into a theme room!

Let a Little Sunshine In!

Coastal Living Magazine

Yellow shines with optimism, enlightenment and happiness.  A perfect color to decorate any seaside space.  Shades of yellow are said to carry the promise of a positive future.  A room with little sunlight will greatly benefit from yellow to compensate for the lack of light and can bring in a reminder of the gentle warmth of the sun.

Sunset Magazine

Yellow is sunshine, freshness and cool.  From hot sunflower yellow to pale buttery tones (think mellow-yellow), psychologically speaking, yellow is said to be the happiest color in the color spectrum.  In feng shui, yellow represents the color of sunlight with its cheerful and uplifting qualilties.  Yellow best expresses the essence of light and can also suggest intellectual energy and curiosity (think yellow pencils).  The color of hope, joy and optimism (think yellow ribbons).

Looking for a fresh idea to dress up your seaside fireplace mantel?  Look no further.  Coastal Living Magazine has designed this beautiful display.  Arrange varying sizes of faux coral onto your mantel highlighted by some of your beachcombing finds.  Add a few splashes of color with perhaps some beautiful photographs of sealife.  An old postcard collection could inspire the whole mantel.  We might even simply add our Coral Still Life canvas for color and embrace it with our faux coral collection.

 It is always a fun and rather inexpensive way to change the vibe of your space by rearranging or completely changing your accessories.  A fireplace mantel is the perfect area to to have an ever-changing display.  You can incorporate whatever seaside colors make you happy.  Whatever you choose to do, make sure it reflects your personal sense of style.
