Coastal Accent Ideas

I find myself holding onto my Pottery Barn catalogs.  Not necessarily for their products, but their incredible creativity of accessorizing.  Here are a few of my favorite ideas (why didn't I think of them).


Rope wrapped umbrella pole.  Such a simple thing, but a WOW nautical accent.  I don't think I could ever live with a plain wooden pole again.

Rope wrapped beverage bucket.  Love this idea! 



The combination of the natural shells and black and white photos, give a vintage, coastal cottage feel. I think the impact really comes from the grouping of shells.  Just one or two, would get lost. 


We all have baskets around.  I think this is a great way to use them in the bathroom.  Love the rolled towels and the glass jars with sea sponges and Q-tips.


In attempting to display my seashells, I've discovered there is definitely an art form to it.  They have a tendency to look a bit cluttered.  I love the layering of the trays, coral and shells.  Now this I can do.

What are some of your favorites coastal accents?  Please feel free to share them.

The Roku when you first start it up after connecting
it to the internet and your TV or monitor has several channels but each one is only
a few clicks away to install and over the internet the installation is very easy using an account.

Loading time from screen to screen can vary and at times seems like
it may take longer than usual but overall performance is great.

A stable internet connection is needed, may it
be using a cable-powered connection or wifi.
