Maybe it's due to the heat, but I find myself thinking of the ocean and the cool breeze that comes at night, the sand, shells, smell, and...decorating (of course!)
At this time of year, many decorating stores feature bags of shells, glassware, and varying shades of blue and green. Here are some of my favorite "sea displays" that I love to return to on such hot, humid days.
The collection above is on a small, wooden, file cabinet in my home office. The driftwood, rocks, and shells were all collected on trips.
Pottery plates (in milky blues) are great for displaying shells and other "sea objects." This one has blue rocks that I bought in Maine.
Whitewashed baskets mixed with blue-toned pottery on a shelf.
Small pottery tile that I use as a coaster for those cool summer drinks. Very "beach-like."
Small frames with pressed wildflowers and small sand dollars.
The objects were given to me by family friends. I assembled and framed. To the lower right -- rocks and driftwood picked up at the Ernest Hemingway house in Key West. I kept looking at these objects as I completed my first book... if Ernie could write, so could I! ;-)
Shells and "sea objects" in a large hurricane being used as a bookend!
...I hear the ocean...
