Beach house vignette

After art classes yesterday, I spent some time working on the beach house makeover. Ably assisted by Suzi, Sandy and Kris (aka the super-stylists!) we pulled together this little vignette in a corner of the living area:


we filled the antique french dough bowl with beach ephemera...


...added glass lamps, coral and my painting...


...all gathered on the recycled timber console table


We're still waiting for lots of accessories to arrive, but it's all starting to come together. Oh, and sorry for the lack of photos, but as I forgot my camera, these were hastily snapped on my phone and I had to pick the best of a bad bunch!

Hope you all had a great weekend,

  2. Fast or not, I think you did a good job!
    Really like all the netural elements, and the mix of the soft browns, with the pale blue and the white, very nice!

  9. That looks absolutely stunning Kerri, I love all the textures from the shells, the console table and your beautiful painting and the fabric on the lampshades is sooooo up my alley and gives it a sophistocated feel too. You're so good at interior design. I can't wait to see more! And i wouldn't have guessed that they were taken from your phone :) Have a lovely day, Jxx
