    I love to add shells, surfboards & coastal decorating books. I use lots of blues & whites in my home.

  3. Laurie Cape says

    July 9, 2015 at 11:25 am

    I add lots of driftwood pieces, sea glass, lanterns and lighthouses to get my beach theme flowing. My color scheme is a sea glass pallet, light greens, blues and white.
    My bedroom is my own little dream beach cottage 🙂

    Lanterns, seashells, rattan, and distressed coastal-themed furniture make things really comfy for me.

    July 9, 2015 at 11:39 am

    I love rope… Any kind/ color incorporated into my DIY. Twine is probably my favorite there are so many things to do with it!

    This book looks amazing and timing couldn’t be better. We just moved and I am starting over with my nautical/tropical designs. I have lots of rope to add special touches and lots of memorabilia from our 11 years cruising the tropical waters of Mexico on our sailboat. We may be landlocked now, but we haven’t forgotten the feeling of sleeping in a gently rocking sailboat and all the joys that go with it.

  14. nicole says

    July 9, 2015 at 12:44 pm

    i’ve been redoing our whole house with coastal feel – light grey and blue walls, lots of texture and woven baskets. my favorite is a canvas i took and put one shell from each beach and the date we’ve been to, a little time capsule of all of our favorite spots!

  15. Mandy says

    July 9, 2015 at 12:52 pm

    I love to use shells. To me they are the best example of nature’s art. I love them in old boxes, baskets, tarnished silver plates, etc.

  16. Jen Beatty says

    July 9, 2015 at 12:55 pm

  18. Linda Ball says

    July 9, 2015 at 1:06 pm

  19. Shane says

    July 9, 2015 at 1:18 pm

    I hope to win a copy of this book. We just bought a house and I want to incorporate the nautical/ beachy feel to all of the rooms…without it being to overwhelming. I have no idea where to start.

  20. Carol T. says

    July 9, 2015 at 1:18 pm

    I have soft blue, sandy beige, and pearlescent shells that adorn my coffee tables. Above the fireplace is a large picture of the ocean that you just get lost in.

  23. Linda Sealy says

    July 9, 2015 at 2:57 pm

    I love ocean blue and coral together. My friend and I put coral covers on my dining room chair cushions. They turned out great!

  24. Nancie says

    July 9, 2015 at 3:15 pm

    I’ve always liked the coastal style. When we moved to Florida 12 yrs ago, I new with out a doubt that I would style my new home this way. I’ve chosen a lot of Tommy Bahama furniture with lots of coastal accents. I would love to win this book. Thanks for the giveaway!

  25. Stephanie Lawing says

    July 9, 2015 at 3:20 pm

    I love anything with board and batten, beadboard and shiplap! I’ve installed the first two in my house but someday would love shiplap in a house by the sea!

  26. Vicki M says

    July 9, 2015 at 3:29 pm

    Love to use sea shells and sisal in my decorating. I use colors in soft Aqua, cream and driftwood gray.

  27. Anne Marie says

    July 9, 2015 at 3:33 pm

  28. Linda says

    July 9, 2015 at 3:40 pm

    I enjoy adding art work with either a nautical theme or color scheme to add a “beachiness” to my home. I particularly like the art of Kathy Buschy, a local artist from the Rehoboth and Lewes, DE area. I also use starfish and shells.

  29. Anita Rudzinski says

    July 9, 2015 at 4:22 pm

  30. Karen says

    July 9, 2015 at 5:11 pm

    We have the stereotypical lighthouses and seashells in our bathroom. However, if my husband would let me, we’d have a canvas slipcover couch, possibly in blue, some rope accents, a sisal rug (or some sort of indoor/outdoor rug), and blue glass lamps. I have a whole Pinterest category devoted to my make-believe beach house! Lol

  31. Kay says

    July 9, 2015 at 6:07 pm

    I have followed your blog for a long time and enjoy your pictures and instructions. I live near the coast in Washington and have been using the ocean colors in my new home, but sometimes get stopped by not knowing where to go from where I am. I would love this book to refer to when I get stuck.

  32. phyllis h says

    July 9, 2015 at 6:25 pm

    Love the photos you posted from the book. Fingers crossed that I will be lucky enough to receive one. Thanks!

  33. Angela says

    July 9, 2015 at 6:39 pm

    Of course, I use the glass blues and greens for wall color. I however love to add the different “wildlife” from the beach ie: sandlappers, starfish, etc. Also, NO room is complete at my house without a mermaid somewhere…. : )

  34. mattsgramma says

    July 9, 2015 at 7:58 pm

  36. Chloe Crabtree says

    July 9, 2015 at 8:12 pm

    Having just moved into a coastal style home and being summer time sailors on Lake Erie, I know I will be searching for ideas like those in this book to begin to decorate our new place. I have my eye on a beautiful model sailboat and know just where to use it!

  37. Audrey M. says

    July 9, 2015 at 9:15 pm

  45. Pat Denton says

    July 10, 2015 at 9:56 am

    I live on a barrier island and so it is natural for me to use nautical elements in our home. My favorites include blue canning jars, Denton fish prints, nautical pillows, and of course shells and drift wood. This book would make a great addition to my coffee table.

  46. Cathy says

    July 10, 2015 at 12:50 pm

    This looks really helpful. I love color, but get stuck when the time for decision comes. I really need guidance on color selection!

  47. Teddee Grace says

    July 10, 2015 at 3:15 pm

    I already subscribe to your blog. I love decorating with shells and sand, blue glass bottles of various kinds, books on decorating with shells and fish and have two of the cutest beach maids, sitting on beach balls, reminiscent of the 20s and 30s that fit right in.

  48. Maria says

    July 10, 2015 at 3:47 pm

    My daughter decorated her house in nautical decor, collecting lighthouses, adirondack chairs, beach things, etc. and then lost her house and everything in it in a big fire a couple years ago. She is starting another collection and trying to restore the look. I would love to give her the book for Christmas and I know she would love it. Thanks for the opportunity.

  51. Juie Murphy says

  54. NancyP. says

    July 11, 2015 at 1:37 pm
