Beach House Inspired Design

Our family had a wonderful 3 days this past weekend spending time at the beach at a friend's condo.  Even though we live only a short 30 minute drive from the beach, and we frequently go for the day or afternoon, something about staying at the beach for a few days is such a different experience.  Waking up with a view of the ocean and sitting on a balcony with a cup of coffee listening to the breaking waves is just the perfect beginning to the day.  A few days at the beach is always the perfect prescription to calm my soul and refocus.

With all this in mind, I was daydreaming a bit about how I would decorate my own beach house, if such a thing actually existed.  Maybe someday.  But for now, I can dream a little, right?  Navy and coral is one of my current favorite color combinations.  I chose neutral colored furniture and brightened things up with the navy and coral accents.  To me it feels fresh and clean; a room I would love to sit in and stare at an ocean view.
