Beachy Bedroom

Make your bedroom a seaside heaven with colors as warm as a sunny day in June! Add touches of beach treasures like starfish, shells, and driftwood to have a never ending beach day. 

Cozy Coastal Kitchen

Give your kitchen that vacation beach home feel with tan and blue details! Natural colors like the bar stools like the one pictured from Pottery Barn and the wall hanging bottle opener warm up your space while blue accents like rugs and storage give you the feel of cool ocean water!

Dining Room Decor

Pineapples are a symbol of good friendship and hospitality, so why not decorate your dining room with them! Pineapple accents on the walls and wine glasses are fun and the blue china will make you feel like you’re right at the beach.

Bathroom

Greys, whites, and blues make for a perfect coastal bathroom! Driftwood-esque mirrors and octopus bath mat details are essential for a fresh and clean beachy bathroom!

Warmer weather is upon us! On those nice, mild Spring and Summer days, it’s nice to have a cold glass of sweet tea, sit out on the pizer (local slang for porch), and relax. Check out some of these Outer Banks vacation homes with awesome porches for relaxing and watching the sunset or sunrise!

The beautiful thing about clambakes is that they can be thrown together for a casual dinner, or planned for a sharp and chic family sit down. Dress up your meal with beautiful dinner details like serving bowls, platters and placemats like these we found at The Cotton Gin, and make your OBX clambake one for the books.
