Coastal Inspired Ideas from the Blog:

As we head into summer, you can’t go wrong with a blue and white coastal table setting.

Even though I decorated this coastal table in my kitchen, this look would work on the patio or any outdoor area.  

Lately, everyone is talking about the “coastal grandmother” trend which was inspired by various Nancy Meyers movies.  I mean, who can forget the iconic living room?…

As you probably, know, this movie was filmed many years ago yet the classic coastal design of the home is timeless!  If you love this breezy coastal style, read more about why we love Something’s Gotta Give!

From textures and neutrals to some very creative ideas, I think you’re going to love this coastal inspired home!

If classic New England coastal is more your style, take an exterior tour of some beautiful Martha’s Vineyard homes!

Perhaps, the scenery might inspire you to book a vacation to Martha’s Vineyard!

This summer, if you plan to stay with friends on the coast, learn how to be a fabulous houseguest!

Sure, some of my beach house etiquette tips are obvious but a few reminders never hurt!
