A Seashell Lovers New York City Apartment

It's obvious, fashion stylist Linda Rodin loves the beach and seashells...

... step into her lovely bedroom..., say hello to Billy (Linda's basset hound), then look to the left...

... and you see an impressive seashell display, not only in her glass cabinet, which is an ideal place for her beloved beach treasures...

... but also on top, large conch shells lined up and small ones stored in vases and jars...

... look to the right..., more shells behind glass...

... then peek into the kitchen, glance through the shelves beginning from the top..., rest your eyes on the bottom shelf...

... and tell me how many shells you can count...

... no matter where you turn in her one-bedroom Chelsea flat, the beach has a presence here..., her toilet seat, all sea shell decor too. You can click on any of the pictures to go to sohaute, meet Linda and see more of her apartment. It's obvious, I'm hooked on seashells too.

Pearl Maple said...

Now that is a shell collection!

Cool pic in the blog header, Grace and Princes and Monaco, sigh, how very fairy tale for adults.

Puna said...

I'm in love with that blue cabinet! And I love shells too!

Christy said...

Wow that is a lot of seashell. My only thought is this: can you imagine having to dust them all, all the time?!

susan said...

So pretty! I ditto what Christy says about dusting, though! :)

beth said...

Now that is a lot of shells! I like having a few shells in my house, too, but that may be a little bit overkill. Too much of a good thing is still too much. :)

Maya said...

Thank you all so much for stopping by! It is over the top for my taste too, actually way over, but since it's shells, my inner design critic just smiles.

Oh MY!! Even...the...toilet seat! I have to say...I'm kind of loving the bedroom. And Billy. :-)

Blue Muse said...

Wowsas! I can relate to her love of the ocean, that's why I live next to it. Seashells are gorgeous natural art, and she sure has a lot of them. LOL.
I love that blue - so dreamy.
Have a wonderful weekend!

I just landed here through Hooked on Houses and what a treat. I dream of living by the sea one day so I'm already loving your blog. I'll definitely be visiting often!

Wow!
Thats an awesome collection. In the Pacific Northwest there is not really a beautiful pink shell to find, mostly sand dollars and we have hundreds, maybe even a thousand. Im totally hooked on shells and your nice site, girlfriend.
Happy Easter!

Love it! What a fun post, Maya. And Billy made me smile, too.

P.S. I'm really digging this week's Monaco header. Gorgeous!
