Beach Theme Home Decor

About a month ago, our family went with another family down to Margaret River for a short holiday. Margaret River is a fantastic wine region in South Western Australia, close to the ocean, and it is absolutely beautiful down there.  We actually rented a little house in Prevelly, which is the little village where the actual Margaret River meets the Ocean.

Needless to say, we had a few great, great days!!! We did long beach walks with the kids, and even my partner started collecting seashells! On one beach walk he spotted an area with millions of tiny little shells, and spent close to 2 hours in that one spot, picking out miniscule but stunning mini-shells. (He got a little sunburned … ). When he brought them all home, he washed them and poured them in an empty beer bottle for storage and enjoyment! It actually looked gorgeous, if you have a bottle (or maybe a nice glass vase or something ) and fill it with tiny little shells, it can make a stunning and engaging beach decor piece. When it was sitting on the kitchen table, whoever was sitting there had the bottle in their hands looking at the shells and admiring their beauty. Kind of looks a little rustic, but that even adds to the beauty of it.

The house we stayed in was very unique and charming, too. It consisted of an array of different pieces of furniture, and lots of home made or self decorated/painted things, walls, etc. I had to take my camera and take a few pictures of what the owner of the house had done, I was so impressed! Have a look (unfortunately this picture is not quite sharp, but I think you can still see how nice it is, and how easy it would be to make yourself at home):

Or have a look at this artsy little window (obviously you could put much more fitting ornaments or beach items in the frame, to make it look really stunning; the cups were just there, don’t mind them, please! )

Or how easy would this holder for kitchen utensils be to make? All you need is a container of your choice, preferably glass, tile adhesive, grout and the sea glass, and you should be on your way!
