Ideas to Bring Home the Beach

Beach Porch
Atlanta designer Carter Kay shows us an example of how we can Bring Home the Beach.

living room in beach and sea colors
Her mission was to establish a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors, using tranquil colors of sea glass greens, watery blues and sandy neutrals, as well as organic textures to keep the mood simple but sophisticated.

Dining Room with beach accents
And of course it always makes me happy when there are Fishing Glass Floats involved!

I showed this to my husband and he loves the living room. I'm trying to find ways to make our house look more like that. Very inspiring.
