My Coastal Christmas

Coastal Christmas Tre
Last Year this mini Christmas tree was outside, this year it greets us when we come in from the entryway (I'll give you the scoop on the door art piece in a future post -just in case you wondered).

Seashell Christmas Lights
A close up of my signature seashell light, also featured here: Coastal Christmas Decor -Are Your Lights On?

Small Christmas Tree
This lounging area is part of the kitchen. Here a peek of the brand new granite counter top that was installed last Wednesday. The kitchen is almost finished now! And check out the two stars by the window...

Beach Lights
... they were on sale at the Christmas Tree Shop for $1.99 each.

Shell Christmas Lights
This picture doesn't do our living room Christmas tree justice! The tree is minimal, yes, but all the sea shell lights glow very nicely and create a festive coastal ambiance...

I love all the seashells and the granite. I want to replace my kitchen countertop with granite...but we have so much countertop that it just hasn't been possible...YET!

Our home is having an old fashioned handmade Christmas this year. I hope you will stop by.

I enjoyed the peek at your holiday decor, Maya! Those seashell lights are definitely something I would love to have on our tree at Christmas and then strung in our enclosed deck the rest of the year.

Please stop by my shop sometime, I have some beautiful shells that I've painted that I think you'll enjoy. I have to dream of the ocean until we can save our pennies to get there!

Marie said...

J'adore your coastal Christmas Maya! And yes, curious about the door leaning against the wall. Very pretty!

If you have the sea in your backyard your house really doesn't need much embellishment. But you really made it shine!

Your tree is gorgeous, as well as the rest of the photos. I also love the enthralling banner! I thought of you yesterday as I stood on a very tall ladder and nailed my oar (the one I mentioned I bought at an antique mall a few weeks ago) high on my garden room wall.
