Coastal decor is always so pretty with an abundance of soft faded colors
mingling with that pop of sea glass green or blue.
From a little to a lot -it is an easy look to mix in with other styles-
from 1 piece to a whole bookcase to a whole room.

Totally not a bookcase display – but seriously,
I am crushing on that boat on the mantel.

Recently I was challenged to re-create a look that inspired
but using finds from HomeGoods.
I chose a bookcase that was very neutral and quiet as the inspiration.

I styled one of bookcases in the cottage with a coastal vibe and used a
the old worn books, vintage bottles and some of the seashells
but the rest came from either the hardware store (sponges) or HomeGoods.
Kind of loving how it turned out
and it was fun to play with a different look in the cottage
AND it might inspire a tiny change for summer out there.
What about you-
have you gone a little coastal in your home?

Courtney, we live inland, but I grew up on the coast. Nantucket is one of my favorite destinations, so I have Nantucket baskets, seashells, and such out here in the summer months. I love organic things, so sea shells make me happy.

I'm in the middle of decorating my home for summer and this season I'm challenging myself to sprinkle a little of coastal in every room. Your post was very inspiring and a boost to get my home done soon. @ the Little Pink Casa blog

I live within walking distance to the beach, but my home has more of a French vibe than a coastal feel. I do, however, have special touches of the sea throughout my home. Sea glass, special shells, coral, and a few other little pieces here & there make my little cottage by the sea a bit coastal. I especially like to bring out extra coastal touches, such as starfish linens, etc. in the summer. I really like what you did with the bookcase.
Best,
