Though the summer season lasts just three months, your home can keep the warmth and charm of summer at the shore all year long. By adding seashells and other nautical details throughout your home, you can bring a bit of the beach to any room. These projects will keep you sailing even when the tide's not so high.
To reflect style that is shore to please, put a
pebble-embellished mirror above your sink or on your wall. The colors channel the ocean waves, while the starfish speaks to the wonders of the sea.

Instead of filling your vases with flowers or stones, try
rope-strung glass buoys. While creating this project, you'll dream of floating in the water in a faraway place.
Remember those old beach findings from trips to the Jersey shore or California coast? Put them to good use, and make room on your wall for an eye-catching
driftwood seahorse.
Picture this: the sun shining on the sand and the deep tones of the ocean dancing in the light. You can achieve this same enlightening effect in your home with a
fish scale pendant lamp.
