Don't stop dreaming about making the beach your home someday
If you love the beach, searching for beach treasures, or decorating with coastal decor, I'm looking for YOU!
I've been talking a lot about home lately and making your home into a place you love no matter where you live, but now I'd love to hear from you!
Would you tell me where your home currently is and where you'd love to live if you could?
I know it isn't possible for everyone to make a change and move. It wouldn't be as possible for us now but when we were in Nashville, the housing market was so hot in 2020 that we sold our home and moved just two months from the time we made the decision to move to Florida! And our jobs made it easy for us to pick up and move too.
Just because it isn't possible for you yet, doesn't mean you should stop dreaming and planning. And if you are totally happy where you are now that's great too!
If you need help with inspiration until you can make your ultimate move to your dream location, that is what I am here for! To share my beach life and give you tips on making your own home into a peaceful haven with our beach decor.
We still aren't exactly where we want to be....our house is still a 5-minute drive from the beach and we don't have an ocean view, but we hope to get there someday!
Let me know where home is for you below and keep following along!
Bring the Beach Home in the Meantime
While you are working toward your dream, coastal decor is one of the most meaningful ways to keep that beach feeling alive in your everyday space. A handmade sign on the wall, a sea turtle on the shelf, a coastal color palette in the bedroom. These small things add up to a home that feels like a retreat, no matter your zip code.
Here are a few of our favorites for decorating with that beach house feeling wherever you live.
Sand Dollar Home Sign — featured in the video above! A beautiful coastal motif that brings a warm, welcoming feel to any entryway, living room, or beach house wall. Hand-painted on real wood in our Amelia Island studio.
A Day at the Beach Restores My Soul Sign — for anyone who feels most themselves when they are near the water. A beautiful reminder to hang somewhere you will see it every day, even when the beach is still a drive away.
Life is Better at the Beach Sign — a classic coastal sentiment that looks right at home in a living room, entryway, or kitchen, even if the beach is still a dream away.
