I just love the holidays. Something about all the lights and cheer in a house makes it feel like a home. As soon as Thanksgiving dinner is over and the dishes are all washed, I start thinking about decorating for Christmas. Over the years I have accumulated a lot of Christmas décor, and when we moved by the coast nearly eight years ago, I began to add coastal touches to my Christmas. I started by collecting coastal Santa’s. At this time of year they can be found in various locations throughout my home from hallway insets to tabletop centerpieces. Some feature predominant blue and white theme like the Santas shown here, and others are more whimsical, beachy and tropical. Here are a few of my favorite blue and white coastal Santas found on Amazon this season.
Create a wonderful display of miniature trees to enchant your coastal Yuletide. Tabletop trees are perfect for almost any area of your home from your front porch to your bedroom dresser. These trees add a coastal touch to your Christmas with shells, driftwood and sea glass motifs. Perfect for your smaller spaces or to use as a part of a tabletop centerpiece. Find links to our favorites below.
Have you ever heard of boho beach style? This relaxed vibe focuses on creating a comfortable interior with a laid-back coastal style. It includes water washed woods, distressed finishes, and natural materials. The color palette is soft pastels and neutrals with plenty of texture. If you think that the boho beach style might be for you, here are some of our favorite finds. Get swept away by the charming boho coastal vibe and let it take your coastal style in a whole new direction.

Here is a little whimsy for your week. If you live on the Gulf Coast, you know that everyone has flamingo fever right now because we are seeing these majestic birds along our coast due to Hurricane Idalia. They are now hanging out at our beaches and nature preserves and look like they are here to stay. Even before our new visitors arrived, Florida has had a love for Flamingos. There are places you can visit to interact with and feed these flamboyant birds. (Did you know that a group of flamingos is called a flamboyance?) This post is for the flamingo fans in the group. Bealls Florida has flamingo décor and kitchenware that you are sure to love.
Have a great week everyone and take a little advice from a flamingo for your week and…
Here are a few flamingo décor favorites from Bealls…
The official first day of fall is this Saturday. Have you started decoding yet? I love to decorate for fall but still keep a coastal feel to my home. Bealls Florida has great coastal harvest décor with blue and white pumpkins (with a touch of traditional orange) and coastal themes.
Celebrate fall in seaside style by creating your own coastal pumpkin patch. Do you love holiday décor but do fall colors not fit with the coastal color pallet of your home? We’ve got you covered! Here is a collection of tabletop pumpkin décor in beachy blues and coastal hues. Add to a tabletop centerpiece, fireplace mantel or your front porch and enjoy fall by the shore. Links to items below.
I just love fall! Yet, now that I live in Florida, I no longer associate fall with cool weather and red, yellow, & orange leaves. Fall on the Gulf Coast is just different. Here we have warm days full of sun and trips to the beach. I can’t complain! I love fall in Florida.
My fall decorations have changed with my new location. Now my fall decor has more blues, whites, and a coastal style. One my favorite fall touches is still to add pumpkins around my home. From the front porch to nestled in a centerpiece, pumpkins add the perfect fall touch!
Here are a few of my coastal favorites and where to find them to make them your own.
When you think of coastal décor one of the most natural color choices is blue. It is reminiscent of the sea and sky and creates a sense of serenity. Shades of blue can be used anywhere in your home. Think paint, eye-catching décor, rugs, lighting, and furniture. Pick your favorite shades of blue and add for instant coastal style.
Here are some beautiful light and soft blue pieces from Amazon.com for your coastal home.

When styling a coffee table one of the most common items used are books. There are even blank books with beautiful covers you can buy for this purpose. Although I have many books on display around my home, I can’t bring myself to use a book that is blank or just considered décor. Books are meant to be opened, read, and enjoyed. I recently purchased a beautiful hardcover book on the local coastal birds in my area filled with exquisite photography and interesting information. This book sits on the coffee table in my family room, and it always makes me smile when a guest or family member picks up this book and flips through the pages. Here are some of my favorite coastal books that are perfect for any coffee table.

Paint Selection Tip:
When choosing a color scheme for your coastal home, look to the sandy shores, blue waters, tropical green foliage, and coral sunsets for inspiration. What coastal color scheme will you choose?
The sandy shore is your neutral color pallette. Tans, beiges, grays, creams and whites are reminiscent of the sand and the shells scattered along the coastline.
Why is white so often used in coastal décor? The use of white helps to create that causal, light and airy feeling of being by the coast. Adding white to your coastal décor is easy. There really aren’t any rules. Find objects you love that remind you of the coast in either true, whitewashed or dweathered white. I personally love weathered white or whitewashed, as it also incorporates natural tones that create a more casual feel. White items that work well in a coastal inspired home can be anything from base pieces, like a sofa or chair to tabletop décor and lamps. Don’t ever feel like you have to decorate a room from start of finish. Start with a few items that you love and add more as items inspire you. Most of all remember two things - Decorating should be fun and your home should reflect you. Here are a few of my favorite finds on Amazon for adding white to your coastal décor.

When you start redecorating a room, where do you start? What pieces do you purchase first or do you buy all the pieces at once? In my living room, I always started with the seating and built from there. Usually the last piece I pick, is the coffee table. I want it to be both functional and decorative and I feel a coffee table ties the room together. The shape always depends on the size and shape of my seating pieces. In the past, I have always had rectangular coffee tables, but with my new home I purchased a sectional that was even on both sides. I had such a hard time finding a coffee table because this time I wanted something round or square. Here are a few of my favorite coffee tables to help complete your coastal living room decor. Once you pick out a coffee table have fun styling the top of your table with coastal decor.

As I walk along the beach I can’t help but stop and pick up a few beach treasures. It might be a piece of sea glass, a shark’s tooth or a shell. Yet when I bring these home, I don’t just want to put them in the bottom of a drawer. What would be the point of that! I like to see these items around my house. Seeing them reminds me of good times and always makes me smile. Here are a few of my favorite ways to display your beach finds and links to similar items online.
Apothecary Jars: These glass jars are an easy and inexpensive way to display any beach find. Mine hold sea glass from the beaches of California near where we used to live.
or
Glass Cloche: Cloches are perfect for displaying large shells or a curated display of beach items (think driftwood, shells and sand from your favorite beach). Here are a few options for you to try.
or
Glass Cylinder Vase: This is a truly easy way to display your finds. Mine contains shells. I take a favorite shell or two each time I visit the beach and just add it to my cylinder vase. You won’t believe how quickly this fills up and creates a simple coastal style that can be placed anywhere in your home. Mine is 14 inches high but they come in a variety of sizes.
Clam Shell Bowl: I have found these in different sizes and price-points and I just love the look! These are large resin clam shell shaped bowls. So easy to fill with shells and create a centerpiece.
or
Shark Tooth Display Banks: Since we moved to the Gulf Coast of Florida, we have discovered shark tooth hunting. People sift for them in the surf and stand, but I often find mine just walking the beach. My kids are obsessed! I was looking for something unique to hold these teethy treasures and found these on Etsy. They don’t have any teeth in them yet, as I am saving them for Christmas gifts for the kids. They come in a variety of sizes and are like an old fashioned piggy bank with a slot in the top for the teeeth, a wood frame and a plexiglass front.
