My mom loves the beach, more specifically the ocean and white sand blasted shells. She has been in the process of updating her living room and I was home to help purchase and arrange a few new pieces to transform her house into a relaxing beach oasis.
Here is a run down of a few things we accomplished this week:
1. Purchase new couch. (Mom's couch was 15 years old and a bit dated. Meet the new coastal inspired couch)
2. Replace recliner with chair (I am in love with this chair. The stripes add great color contrast to the room).
3. Create accent wall. (Mom was afraid the blue couch on the blue wall would be too much. Insert stripes! Thanks Todd for painting them.)
4. Purchase beach paintings and accents (We were most successful at Marshalls and Cape May Wicker)
5. Find new lamps (Don't you just love the green plantation shutter lamp? Bonus: it holds DVDs!)
6. Create a gallery wall. (Easily created with painters tape, a hammer, and a level)
Still to do....
1. Find a beach inspired wall clock for above the mantle
2. Purchase large shells for the mantle
3. Find/Make twine covered candles for mantle
4. New table runner for dining room table.
