Knock Knock!

I always love a good door knocker. By good I mean handsome, unique and brass. So you can imagine I wasn't sad when ours recently fell off. Good timing, because I've been wanting to find a lion head to greet guests. Here are a few options, what do you think?

This one is my favorite so far!

It's so handsome and regal...

 

 

 

If I lived near the sea, this would surely greet you at my door...

Anchors Make me Happy

What is it about anchors? For some reason they make me happy. They are a symbol of summer time and being by the water, usually the color blue and in a way they seem patriotic.

 

They are every where and I love it.

Weekend Thoughts

I've been trying to cross things off my list and jazzing up the bar cart for my dining room is one of them. I found some funky margarita glasses and pretty little prosecco flutes that just make me giddy. And, both were under $5!

My Friday night project is making margarita's with fresh lime juice, agave nectar and a dash of grand marnier. Yum yum.

 

On another note...I'm a gal that loves anchor anything...I'm actually wearing a jcrew anchor night shirt as I type this. Anywho, love the bed skirts here - so nautical and sweet.

 

Tomorrow morning I'm headed to Chartruese & Co. with a few friends. I can't wait! It's been a while since I've visited this barn full of treasures, hopefully I will have some bits to show you next week.

 

Lastly...It was so fun to take Jake to the beach and pool for the first time - he loved it!

 



I want to linger here...

Doesn't this space awaken your senses? I adore the burst of color - it puts me in a good mood just imagining being curled up here with morning coffee - or an evening cocktail {or two}.

Ultimate Beach House

Not a year goes by that I don't drool over the Coastal Living Ultimate Beach House...if you haven't seen it yet, feast your eyes on this beauty. Totally beachy and more then inviting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



I Spy a Sea Shell

I always say I'd love to live by water to take advantage of all the amazing beach decor. Again, my thoughts wonder that way as I come across these cool shell jars from Etsy shop Bottles by the Sea. I still think you can work in a few of these with the right color scheme and feel of a space, not living by the beach.

 

Seaside Accessories

There are certain accessories that are hard to pull off unless you are near the water...sadly, I see them and think they wouldn't fit with my current, very land locked home/decor.

I love these beautiful accents for beachy settings.
