The Beach Down Under

 

It would seem there is no better inspiration for decorating a home than nature. The scenes, colors, scents and textures together become an intoxicating blend for the senses that we just can't resist echoing in the home.  That may be through real or faux greenery, a 'beachy' color scheme or even simply a scented candle to take you back to the water's edge...

 

From Four Mile Beach to Coogee to Bronte, the beaches of east coast Australia were breathtaking. I returned home wanting to accent our home solely with shades of blue, green, white, silver and sandy browns.

 

 

And after the beach!....

Are you longing for some sun and sand right now?

 

Hope you have a great week ahead...

...On the Beach!

We stopped by Shutters on the Beach recently for a nice breakfast and a walk along the ocean. I adore the look of this hotel and would love to re-do the exterior of our house by removing the horizontal wood planks and adding shakes.  I'd finish the look by adding some white metal deck railings in the x-cross style

 

 

 

 

Have you been inspired by a hotel interior or exterior?
