Beach Inspired Decor

Hi everyone.  Hope you're able to keep cool during these ever so hot days of July we are having.  We are doing a lot of indoor projects or going to the beach since its just too hot to go out until evening.  So today I thought since it is beach weather around here I would bring you a few of the beach inspired projects I have done to give our home that beach feel I so love.  
  

A Beach Inspired Vignette

I have been so inspired by the beach this year that almost everything I am doing reflects that.  Today I am bringing you another beach inspired vignette that I have put together that sits on our ottoman in the living room.

Beach Inspired Porch

I am a bit slow about putting up this post on our summer porch - but, it has been raining and was really quite difficult to get any kind of pictures taken.  We had a couple of bad storms that actually caused a small water leak in our roof that is having to be repaired today - hopefully, before the predicted storms take place.  But, enough with that - let's get on to the subject at hand.  Our summer porch....

Shell Art

Today I am going to share the art that  is 

hanging on the wall above my mantel.

This is a knockoff of a piece of art I saw at Ace Hardware 

a couple weeks ago.

It was made with painted bead board 

and

they had done some other wood and beach decor items on it.

I loved it so much I wanted to make one like it.

But, I didn't want to buy bead board and I needed to use

what I had on hand.
