Inspired by the Ocean!!

March 15, 2011 Comments : 2

I just returned from a 5 day vacation to Florida, and was intrigued by the different home accessories and finishes in the quaint little shops of Venice, Fl. I found myself initially saying, “wow, this is so not my style,” but as I walked further and further into the stores filled with Star fish, and beautiful shells, greys, purples and beautiful hues of blue, I started to change my mind!! When you are surrounded by sun, palm trees, and the ocean, you want to jump into all of these beautiful things!! so here are a few “Inspirations”

I know, this is so literal, but these little starfish are adorable, even just sitting in a wire basket on a side table! $3.99 for a dozen from silkfair, or better yet, go on vacation, and collect them yourself  for free!!;)

Another Starfish inspired option..a little more eh-hem “pricey” at $121 a pop!! but do you love this starfish pillow from ABC home?? I DO!!! would / could I spend that much???..I refuse to answer at this point in time 😉 people tend do crazy things when they are in love! and P.S are smileys inappropriate for a blog entry? just curious 🙂

The next picture really encapsulates the overall feeling of coastal interiors, beautiful sea glass colors, fresh, airy, and amazing!!all items from Roost. So inspiring !
Who would have thought “Barnacles

 could be so cute ?? look at this multi barnacle inspired vase, from Heliotrope Home..only $13.95

If you like Ocean/ Sea inspired things, you MUST visit THIS website!!! seaside inspired is one of the best online stores I have seen!! look at these Seashell Plates!!! $14-$29

I could LITERALLY scream OUT LOUD when I look at these beautiful little Sea Urchin vases also from seaside Inspired…$16-$18!!! am I over Dramatic or did you fall on the floor over the elegant cuteness of these tiny beauties!!!!

ooohhhhhh…ahhhhhhh…so pretty!!!!
I hope I have given a little bit of an idea of how beautiful Florida and other coastal interiors can be!! So many great options, and adding some of the smaller accents, like the sea Urchin lovelies or the serene little plates, can add just a little touch of sun to any home!!
