I grew up in Florida and returned to my home state after moving around for 27 years. I’ve always had reminders of the beach around my home no matter where we were living. Decorating with bits of nature and nautical items is something I love. It’s a simplified way of decorating and it fits with the way we live.
At the front door I have a rustic shelf that I put together with some old shutters. With the Beach sign to lead you in the right direction.
The most used door though is the door to the Laundry Room. It is a bright spot in the mornings. It started out rather gloomy and it’s come a long way from what it was.
This little Mirror was a redo. I found it in a thrift shop and it was in need of some help.
I made the valance with some ticking, grommets and a bit of rope for the rings.
The Bathroom, at the end of the laundry room, used to be a closet. We were in need of a half bath downstairs. Now we have one located just off the pool.
Lots of hooks for wet pool towels.
I recently changed up the mantel to make it a bit lighter for summer. I brought out my oodles of shells and a couple of sea birds.

Even the hall tree gets a bit of some seaside treasures.
I can get crafty every once in awhile too. At least I try! The Towels were stenciled with fabric paint then trimmed with ribbon.
The shadow box was put together with a frame I found at the thrift store and some canvas for the background. Fast and easy to do. Browse everything in the category Framed It.
I always love coming by Completely Coastal. It’s such a great resource for coastal inspired homes. Thanks Maya for letting me show off some of my things. Hope you all enjoyed it.

I love this! I love the paint colors! The coastal decorations are perfect! The Powder Room mirror is a awesome!
Thank you Maya for having me over! I'm so happy to be here :)
The shore birds I spotted over at Michelle's blog and fell in love with them. We both found them at TJ Maxx. But I've also seen them at Stein Mart.
She definitely has the style that I love! I will be looking back at her decor for ideas! And the use of mirrors is very nice! ♥
It is darling! Very fresh and beachy feeling. Ihave the same ships bell.
This is so light and inviting - love the stripe/rope/grommet valance, especially the knotted rope idea!
Still love that bell! The mirror in the bathroom is so pretty. It's like lace. :)
Anita, I love those towels and just about everything here! Great colors!
I love your style! Still coveting those corbels on you hall tree. Yes, I am.
This is so beautiful - I'm glad I came over! :-)

Oh how inspirational to have a tour of Anita's coastal touches. Love that clipper ship mirror and was curious to see how she changed it up from the original. I'm off to visit the link for it now! ~Lili
