Searching for Beach Chic

Many a time, when I am looking for inspiration, I type in "beach chic" and search under images. It's so much fun to browse through and discover new sites and designers. I did that this morning and would love to share the photos I loved with you :)

I am super busy getting ready for a three day sidewalk sale happening in my town (I am so behind it's scary) starting this Thursday and ending on Saturday. I have no idea how I'll pull it all together, but I'm sure I'll be fine, and the best part about having your own business is that the whole element of being fired for doing a bad job disappears. Wish my luck, and I'll send updates via twitter throughout the sale!

I love everything about this little bar cart scene. The arrangement of sea-life wall art, the paneled walls, hydrangeas, the white table, and of course, the alcohol!

see that aqua bowl on top of the distressed sink base? I want!

Love!! white slipcovers are awesome in a dining room, combined with that sisal rug - TO DIE! I am sending this photo to my friend Melissa, I know she will love the look for her dining room!

beachy elegance, again, LOVE!

ciao ciao :)

  10. Just found your blog-- beautiful!

    I can't agree more! I love these rooms, especially the last photo. Our home has really similar color scheme and style, but I never thought to title our photos or search with "beach chic"-- I'll definitely try it out!!

    Here is a few photos of our home if you are interested :-)
