Coastal Entryway Focal Wall Design

Hey friends!  It's been a busy weekend of painting, painting, and more painting here at our little beach house. My husband took our 3 kiddos away for a big camping trip while I stayed home, shoved all the furniture to the center of the rooms and tackled the walls, doors, and trim of our second story - it's not done yet, but it IS looking good! :-) I'm so excited to see the progress!!!

More on that soon, but today I wanted to catch you up on an edesign I've posted on my design Instagram recently (here is my personal & style Insta).  I often create and share designs there first (and share HERE), so come follow along!

COASTAL ENTRYWAY

Ok, so I seriously have an absolute obsession with Carol Benson Cobb's artwork. And that is not a word I use often! Her artwork is just SO stunning and inspiring - totally my thing.  One of her pieces is a clear focal point in this design below. You can find her work here, here, and here (the most options including originals - what a dream!).

Turquoise Aqua Blue and Clear Bubble Chandelier / Brass Gallery Light / Benson Cobb "Blue Horizon" Artwork / White Round Mirror (alternative with shell inlay) / Blue and White Striped Solola Pillow / Solid Blush Pink Burlap Pillow / Perella Ivory Linen Bench / Faux Areca Palm Tree / Beach House Natural Beige Area Rug

Design of the Week: Coastal Accent Wall Design

View fullsize

Striped Accent Chair / Weathered Gray Console Table / Greenery / Hammered Gold Tray / Sconce / Wall Art / Area Rug

Hello to the weekend! Sorry to design and dash, but we're on the verge of family time (priority!) and I'm focusing a lot on my furniture painting guide for you guys (sign up HERE!).

It seems harder to balance things in the summer, but we're enjoying (almost) every bit of it!

This design began with that beautiful weathered gray spindle leg console, then I went on to search for the artwork and the chairs. I love those stripes and saw a few other colors available (they come in a set of two).

Cool toned blues with warm brass accents never fails. Then add in a bit of pattern and texture which pulls it all together!

If you love this design, please pin it or pass it along to a friend. Your support means so much and I'm thankful for that!

Ok - onto this week's DESIGN!  This neutral coastal entryway.  I LOVED designing this!

What do you think?  I love how an entryway to a home can set the tone for the entire place and give guests a sense of who you are and what you love.  Today's design was created with a neutral, yet welcoming feel.  Down to earth and laid back with a little bit of chic thrown in.  I'm am loving those lucite and gold sconces and capiz shell mirrors!

As part of today's design, I wanted to include one of my favorites stores for beautiful and affordable home decor items, World Market, which is current'y offering 25% off of all furniture and storage containers.  They are my go to for stylish and affordable chairs and baskets and at that discount it's even better. Their tufted ottoman ends up being under $200! Score!  Between the sofas, armchairs, coffee tables, dining tables, seagrass baskets, etc. there are some GREAT deals to be had.

I've shared my some of my favorites below to give you an idea of what they offer, but feel free to browse around starting HERE.  I hope you find that perfect new item for your home! Be sure to check back tomorrow for the One Room Challenge Kitchen Update!

Hello friends! Be sure to follow along on Instagram and Pinterest for all the behind the scenes, not to mention my new FAVE app Periscope!!

When it comes to design, I gravitate toward clean and simple, yet with an element of coziness and blended textures.  In today's entryway design (first shared on Instagram at @CoastalInteriors using LikeToKnow.It's services - sign up to easily shop my designs before they hit the blog).

Like I said above, I love clean lines and uncluttered design.  I do think that special items styled well make a beautiful difference and add character to your home.  I often love searching local antique shops on the surrounding PNW islands for a beautiful piece of coral.  It is one of the few things I collect and treasure, because each piece is unique and they look beautiful displayed throughout our home.  Below are some of my recent finds of mostly under $100 items I find either beautiful, functional, adding to a positive family life, or a great sale this week!  I'm honored to possibly be a part of helping you find a special new treasure or decor item to add to your home this season. These are anything from home decor items, lighting, and kitchen items for the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas season.  I love them all!

Below are a few items that caught my eye as I was searching for design ideas.  That blue velvet settee is gorgeous, isn't it?!

On a personal project note, I am continuing to work on our open kitchen, dining, and living room space at our beach house [series on previous blog] as well as a mini makeover on our kid's shared bedroom. These things never seem to happen as quickly as I'd like, but I'd rather take it in stride than rush it!
