I'm sold on this handsome block of driftwood spotted here -and it does double duty as a little gallery space.
And of course beach rocks make great decorative bookends!
Or a vase (the heavier the better) filled with pretty shells. This and above via Real Simple.
A jar filled with seaglass works too! Seen at Apartment Therapy.
And in case you should stumble upon a giant shell (you never know), Martha Stewart shows you how you can turn it into a decorative bookend -simply fill it with plaster. This project was previously featured on Beach Crafts where I listed some of my favorite things from online magazines.
And why not glam it up with paint! Seen here.

Fabulous ideas. My faves are the driftwood and sea glass bottle. Have a great weekend x
These are great! Especially love the shells and seaglass for bookends.
Tolle Ideen, Maja... besonders die dicken Steine haben es mir angetan! Ich fürchte, dass ich für meinen nächsten Strandurlaub einen extra Koffer brauche :-))
Have a nice Sunday!

Love that big piece of driftwood. I use alot of shells in my bookshelves.
What a great post Maya!! Such good beachy book ends but I love the driftwood especially. Not much driftwood around here though...do you have a secret spot to find some? ha
