UPDATE TO COASTAL CHIC STYLING
 
I HAVE COMPLETED A FEW PROJECTS AND ADDED SOME BEACH TREASURES TO A COUPLE OF THESE VIGNETTES
 
enjoy...
 
Back in January I posted this post...
 
 
...see below this post for update :)
 
 
New Style-Coastal
 
Now Christmas is over for another year so we have decided to go with some coastal colouring in our home as we are now living closer to the Bay.
Here are a few new areas, mainly the living room I have been working on.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Starting with a neutral base and adding colour works best for me. I sourced most of these items such as cushions, runners, candles, shells and lanterns from discount outlets and sales. I have not spent more than around $150 so far on decorator items for this look.
 
Next room, the office!
 
UPDATE!
 
I have been working on some projects around the house whilst we have been waiting for Dan's transplant. He had it on Wednesday. So far, all good. Early days yet.
 
Project 1- Suitcase Table
 
 
I found these 2 beauties and tried my hand at some DIY.
 
I'm pretty happy with the end result.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
PROJECT 2- BIRD CAGE
 
 
I FOUND THIS GORGEOUS OLD BIRDCAGE AND DECIDED IT NEEDED SOME COLOUR, ALTHOUGH I DID LOVE IT IN THIS STATE TOO!
 
 
 



 
 
 
This isn't a project but some treasures I found at the local beaches we troll on weekends.
I love the pumice stone and the sponge. Their textures and colours beautifully balance with the smooth glass of the float.
 
 

 
              

 

 

Something coming up...

 
Have a great day!!!
