Even Martha Stewart is decorating with rocks! To her rocks are souvenirs from a beach walk, carefully chosen. Small rocks are placed in jars and displayed above the sink in her Maine Home. And there's room to grow for Martha's beach rock collection!
Decorating with rocks can be as straight forward as lining them up on a window sill. Seen at Real Simple.
Rocks softened and rounded by the sea. The colors of beach rocks vary by location. I really like the lighter colors. Hues of white, gray and blue look very elegant. Via Apartment Therapy.
As soon as you stack rocks, they become zen-like.
Decorating with rocks can take the shape of the Alphabet! Spread the rocks out on a side table or glue them on a canvas.
Give tealight candle holders a unique twist by adding beach rocks. Seen here. Small shallow tealight holders are placed at the bottom of sturdy glass tumblers, then small beach rocks are arranged around them.
Decorating with rocks for the table to make an inviting natural centerpiece.
You can also use beach rocks as canvases for drawings, paintings, and words.
Beach rocks are very photogenic as well.
Maybe next time you're on the beach, you'll bring a few rocks home! Via.
And just for the fun of it, there's a site called World Beach Project where people from all corners of the world post pictures of their rock creations on the beach.

Rocks are so serene, they really seem to calm me!!
That alphabit scheme just stopped me in my tracks!
I bring home rocks every morning I go for a sunrise walk...They amaze me...I am creating little walls with them.
Gosh. So beautiful. Somehow the random pattern sends us all into a Zen state:).
The alphabet rocks are going to make me look even closer when I at the beach next time. I wonder if I can do the same thing with bits of shells I find? Hmmm…something to think about for a new project.
How inspiring.
The gray rocks in the pale aqua plate... so serene. And the "Q" rock... imagine the odds.
Such wonderful ideas for displaying og collections of rocks!
I can NOT get enough of pebbles and stones. Wonderful post!
I'm in LOVE with the kitchen/window/sink picture.
I love me a glass container full of stones and pebbles and shells. I collect this stuff and always thought it was a funny thing. So glad there are others who appreciate the same things.
Psst...
There is a blog award for you on my blog:

Wow! The rocks in the shape of all the letters of the alphabet are so cool. I love it!
I love rocks and pebbles shaped and molded by age and water! I never fail to pick them up and treasure them!
I love the way these are all displayed. Simple and effective. Mine are still in little piles on my windowsill (apart from the mobile I made!). And I love the alphabet too. Thanks for popping over to my blog.

I love beach rocks!! I have some in my dining room and think they are so beachy without being too shelly!!!!
I really love the alphabet beach rocks! I wonder how long it took them to find all of those beach rocks!
My house is full of stones like these that the children bring up the road from the sea. One day I'll buy them a bag of cement and they'll get to design and build their own folly in the front garden.
oh ! they are very beautiful ended, .. and photogenic,my beaches doesn't have it, only sand
