A Summer Barscape

We just got home from OBX yesterday, so today, after unpacking, I decided to continue "summarizing" the house! I thought I would change the vignette on the bar from Spring to Summer! It all started with this runner that I found last year and haven't used yet. I loved it because of the colors, not all pastels but more MY colors:)

I am still corralling things in this basket that I love. I got this starfish MANY years ago.

I put some of my tiny shells at the base of this hurricane, and included this teeny seahorse.

Matching shells to the runner.

I broke this shell several years ago but just couldn't part with it. Hope to find a replacement one day....

I found this one in a shop last year. It is man made and not real, I do believe.

I added the large sea fan on a stand.

The starfish votive holders and several years old too.

Placed the hurricane on a stand to raise it up so we could see it better. I love the added texture the rattan base provides.

My son, Brian brought this plant to the beach for us to enjoy and said I could keep it. It is perfect!!!!

Summer on the Coffee Table

Continuing around the living room, I added some Summer to the coffee table. I started the vignette with this new blue and white vase that I found at Home Goods the other day. For a long time they haven't carried any blue and white but now they are stocking it again and I couldn't be happier! I can't seem to resist it! I also saw a very large bowl that I almost bought, but resisted. I love the design on this new jar!

I have had this shell pillar holder for several years. I added some blue sea glass and an LED candle. I turned it on for you but it is hard to see.

I added some other shells to the tray and beside the tray.

I have a large collection of shells, I have been collecting them for over 30 years. Always have wished we lived near water somewhere but that is not to be:)

I added some star fish to the orchid.

I looked at some beautiful ivy plants today but am waiting til after vacation to get some more.

I LOVE the combination of the blue and whites and the rust colors.

The coral embroidered pillows are on the sofa.

I moved this jar over to on the elephant and added a small starfish. Things keep moving around, as Shirley would say, the "décor shuffle":):) Except that she does the "furniture shuffle":):)
