Country Meets the Beach

What do you do when you move from the city with a cute house decorated with antiques, quilts, and country decor and move to the beach?

I have spent years collecting things and creating my style. I can't just up and change everything to the "beach" look.

I stopped at an awesome store today called Kathleen's Kottage. They have an advertisement in our local paper that they have finger starfish for $1.00. That is a bargain and I wanted lots of them to do some decorating so I took a trip over there today. I am in love with her store!

I took this picture below just for The Nester. Look at all those windows, doors, and shutters, girl! I thought of you when I saw them and grabbed my camera and took this picture just for you. :0)

Anyway, back to the Country Meets the Beach... I have placed starfish around my home just to get a feel for it. I am going to somehow incorporate country with beach. I'll share more in future posts of how that is coming along.

I even broke down and bought this sign for the porch. I am going to change the ribbon to something different, maybe wire, but I had to get it because the arrow is pointing the right direction to the beach for us!

More posts soon of how I am "embracing the beach". By the way, I am still working on front porch ideas and keeping the ideas in my Sparkbook!
