Eco-Art Beach Decor Throw Pillows

These beach decor throw pillows are truly "green" pillows that happen to be small works of art!

The coastal inspired designs of these Eco-Art pillows by Wabisabi Green will add color and pop to your seaside space, and still be "green". The cotton fabric background is very soft, yet sturdy to hold its shape. The colors are vibrant: chili red designs, sapphire blue designs and of course, the subtle white patterns on the urchin and sand dollar.

Each pillow is made from organic cotton twill then hand-painted with environmentally safe water-based inks. Their 100% hypoallergenic fill rests in an unbleached cotton shell. Now for the amazing part, the soft and fluffy ecofiber fill is actually made from recycled plastic bottles rescued from landfills. Amazing. I can attest to the fact that they are very soft and comfortable beach decor pillows. As an added benefit, they are all designed, hand-printed and fabricated in the U.S.

Pillows are a great decorating staple. Of course, I prefer to mix and match styles and colors and the coordinating options offered here by Wabisabi Green make this an easy task!

My Faded Blue Sofa

There is a faded blue sofa in our family room at the beach that I cannot part with. It started out a saturated calming blue color, but has turned into a pastel shade of blue. It has seen many sunny days during its life as my favorite sofa. Wet bathing suits on this sofa do not bother me anymore, we are just adding more character. We have had this once bright, now faded, blue sofa since we moved to the beach ten years ago and when I look at it, I do not see the little rip here or spot there, I see my young children resting there after a long beach day with those tired eyes and exhausted bodies, just waiting for bedtime. It has seen their many friends over the years after a day on the water exploring the bay, same exhausted bodies, but now ready to nap to gain stamina for their evening adventure.

All I do now is invest in some bright coastal pillows to brighten up our faded blue sofa. Our beach decor store now carries the Isola Bella hand-printed linen pillow collection that brings a bright, natural coastal touch to our space.

We will probably have to replace this faded blue sofa someday, but then we will need to find a new spot for our Golden Retriever, Sadie, to relax!

Shells on the Beach

"May you Always Have a Shell in your Pocket and Sand in your Shoes"

Finding shells on the beach is truly a treasure hunt. Strolling along until you spot something that will compliment your never-ending shell collection. My Golden Retriever, Sadie, spends almost as much time as I do looking for shells on the beach! My shells do not have to be perfect. When you add them to your basket at home, you never seem to notice the chips. The way I look at it is, a shell with a few imperfections here and there, is kind of like the laugh lines we accumulate as we age! I keep a shell everywhere, even in my car, so that when I am far away from the beach I love, I can still keep the sea close!

Our online beach decor store carries a sign that displays my favorite beach sentiment: "May you Always Have a Shell in your Pocket and Sand in your Shoes".
