Beach Home Decor Ideas – A Bowl Full Of Shells…

The little thoughtful accents around the house are what make it a home. When you are decorating in the beach theme, seashells are really one of the “Must-Haves” when you accessorize throughout your living space. There is so much you can do with one ore two or many seashells:

  • make a mirror (like I showed you in a previous blog post),
  • fill a nice glass or acrylic vase with sand and place your “findings” from the beach on top, it looks stunning!
  • find a nice bowl and fill it with bought (or found) seashells
  • place a single big shell in a special spot on a display table
  • have pictures of shells on the wall
  • and much, much more!

Here is one of my very simple creations; nothing special, I just want to show you how easy it can be:

Happy accessorizing! :o )

Home Made Beach Decor – Paint A Picture!

Flowers On The Beach

Flowers On The Beach

It has been a while since I posted on my blog, shame on me! But it is just sometimes the way that life gets way ahead of you and there doesn’t seem to be time for anything anymore. I hope it will get better soon.

Today I quickly wanted to share one of my craft ideas with you. I love to paint and draw, and I found that most times I do so I end up doing some picture of the beach or something related to it (shells etc.).

Even if the resulting pictures might not look overly fantastic just looking at them, quite often when you just put them in a nice frame they look totally transformed.

So don’t be shy, just try and start painting or drawing your favorite beach scenes, and let yourself be surprised at what you can actually create! Plus, when you hang the pictures in your home they can be a point of discussion if you have got friends over to socialize.

I have attached a picture I did in a 3 hour painting course on a holiday in Queensland.

Have fun painting!
