Add a Little “Beach House” to your House this Summer!

Everyone LOVES a beach house…but most of us can’t live at the beach year round…I mean we have things like jobs, and bills, and “real world” responsibilities- right? Well, I say- if you can’t live in a beach house, bring a little “beach house” to YOUR house this summer…wherever you may live! Here are a few super easy ideas for adding a touch of coastal decor to your home:

1. Beach in a Jar– Bring the beach home with you…that way you can enjoy your very own “private” beach at your home anytime.  Fill a mason jar or hurricane vase with sand and seashells from your favorite beach!

2. Add a Coastal Photo– Frame a photo from one of your favorite beach vacations and enjoy the sunny memories year round!  

3. Play Beach Music– Whenever you need a little “escape” play some of your favorite beach music around the house to put you in the “mood”- then close your eyes and pretend you are THERE!

4. Beach Scents– Light a candle with a refreshing ocean fragrance to remind you of the beach, or maybe a coconut/pineapple scent will put you in the mood…

5. Add a Starfish– Tuck a starfish in an arrangement, or lean it on a bookshelf or add it to a table setting, just adding a simple starfish or two will bring a touch of beach house to any house!

Wishing everyone a wonderful summer!
