I hail from the so-Southern coastal charmer of Savannah, Georgia. And, growing up on the river and just a stone's throw from the beach, the scenes and scents and of the coast are very much a part of who I am. I never would have imagined (and still wake up surprised some days) that I'd one day make my own home in the land locked city of Atlanta with an amazing husband (that we call Honey) and two precious boys. Starting with a color palette reminiscent of the marsh and ocean, I've set to work on subtly adding coastal inspired accents throughout our home. Come on in...
A DIY oyster shell frame on the Foyer Table. See how here!
Signed prints from my favorite coastal artist and one-time Savannahian, Ray Ellis, in the den, breakfast room and living room.
A found cluster of shells resting on the living room coffee table.
A bowl of found oyster shells on the sideboard in the dining room...,
... and oyster shell votive holders on the table.
See DIY Oyster Shell Candle Holder or buy here.
A coral throw on the sofa in the den.
Our not so subtly coastal inspired master bedroom. Oyster shell mirror from Wisteria (if only I'd know about Completely Coastal's Oyster Shell Mirror Tutorial then!) and prints and shells from Ballard Designs (about 4 years ago).
A DIY copy of Wisteria's Oyster Shell Lantern in the guest suite. See how here!
And a coastal chic (on a dime) bathroom makeover in our newly remodeled basement.
I've feathered our nest with these coastal inspired things, some found, some purchased and some made, all reminders of where I came from and a place I love so much! Thanks for taking this little tour with me and pop over to visit at Dixie Delights any time y'all want!
Thank you so much Amanda for giving us a tour of your beautiful Southern Home! I really want to find oyster shells now -lots of them! And your "on a dime" bathroom is definitley very chic!

Love the cluster of oyster shells on the coffee table and the oyster shells on the lantern. Very nice small touches.
Amanda, I love all the things in your home-very beautiful! I especially love the oyster votive holder and the coral throw in your den. Thanks for sharing with us!
The white coral on the shower curtain is lovely and the oyster shell votive, wonderful ocean themes.
Beautiful home! Loved seeing all the coastal touches. ~Lili
