Happy Tuesday Sweet Friends,
How are you?? Hope you had a nice
Independence Day Celebration...
Can't believe it is July 8th already!!
We had a very enjoyable and fun time with the kids
talking and catching up, playing with the baby and
eating Lasagna, and watching a Batman movie.
The rest of the weekend was pretty quiet, and rainy
which was fine with us, cause we got a lot of rest to
ready us for the week ahead.
Am a bit late posting cause decided to make a run
to Wally World this morning and so glad I did cause
it is a blazingly hot 103 degrees here at 3 this after
noon. Shew! Just came in from sitting in the sun!
So trying to cool off..........lol
Well, here is the 4th and final post of our Coastally
(don't know if that is really a word, but it is for me! lol)
Decorated living room.

Decorated living room.
This is where we left off..........just to the right of the
etagere shelving is the table you see in the header picture.

Think they are so cute........and they have
gotten a lot of use....
gotten a lot of use....
This shell on the left is actually a resin soapdish shell,
but you would never know it.
This cute tag with my initial on it was made for me by
a dear friend of many years, as a Thank You card
a few years ago. She does amazingly creative things
all the time..........love everything she does..........
She does things at church and I immediately know
when it is something she has done, she just has her
own special unique and exquisite look to everything
she makes or decorates.

Here is a closer look, Forgot to take a shot of the other
side cause she did it differently, it is perfect for a
white spring time room.

These metal posts use to go on the end
of the bed we have in our guest room
but we didn't want to use them, so I
decided to press them into service here,
for a lil architectural interest.
Directly across from the table
is this chair and wall, there is an
open area in between that leads
to the dining room.
Here a close up of the picture. This is an
actual photograph from our beach vacation
year before last, so just printed it on card
stock and put it in the frame. Used what
was a pillow embellishment last year to
hang on the frame. You saw another one
laying on the table above, and in Part 1
on the wreath..........
Here is the shelf above the chair, this was how I had it
to begin with............
to begin with............
Here's the other half.
and the whole shelf. You will be able to see what
that lil tag in the center is below and then I had
some puka shell beads so just hung those on there too.
See the tag was a starfish. I got a bag of those a few
years back in the Target $1 area, and have really gotten
a lot of mileage out of those. Did you notice.......??
I changed out the pretty pitcher for my lil paper sailboat.
Thought she looked rather cute, but have to say I am
having trouble keeping her on the shelf, Sometimes when
the a/c turns on she drifts on down to the floor. lol
Hubby found her on the floor the other day and propped
her up next to the sailboat picture, which looks nice
too, but she doesn't stay put there either..............
Think I need to find a way to weight her down a bit.

Well, there is the last of the Coastal Living room....
Have to say I have enjoyed it and so has Brooklyn,
she likes checking out the shells and Mr.Leggy
(from Part 2) and playing with the beads in the
fish bowl (from part 1)
and also playing with the plastic Easter eggs in
the pool...........lol They have hidden yogurt
drops in some of them, and she enjoys the
search..............
Was just looking at the posterized picture above
and it has an optical illusion in it.
Can you see the shadow of a skinny necked, big
headed looking creature looking like it is gonna
eat something??
Hint: Maybe he is drinking from the pitcher!! lol

Your living room is definitely a "Cozy Place!"
ReplyDeleteVery nice "coastal look!" I remember your sailboat! Could you use a little bit of 2 sided tape to lightly hold it down?
You have a restful, cozy place!
