“Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and
everything that moves in them!”
Psalm 69:34
Today, let’s celebrate the beach! I love the laid back style of coastal living! The colors of the sand and sea often bring back many wonderful memories of vacations spent along the Gulf Coast. As a young married couple, Butch and I would often take weekend trips to Panama City Beach. I could not wait to smell the saltiness of the ocean air and sink my feet into the white sand! Now, I mostly enjoy the beach from a covered balcony or a brisk walk along the shore as the sun rises–with a steaming mug of french roast coffee in hand, of course! I could really get used to everyday living at the beach!
So, today you are invited to kick off your shoes and pull up a chair at our beach-inspired table, but please no wet swimsuits!!
Let’s talk about layering and texture for your tablescapes. The linen table cloth purchased from Horchow at 30% off is the first layer. Grounding the center of the table is a beautiful quilted runner I found in Sete, France. I often use placemats as a layer over the cloth.
To add texture, I used wicker chargers and tray
This shell box was found at an antique shop and it becomes the focal point
Since I love details…
The hurricane globes are in my tablescapes on many occasions. Notice the sand and small shells. The pillar candles add subtle color to the table.
I had everything on hand and did not purchase anything for this beach tablescape!
The linen napkins were a true find at Pier 1– the embroidery is exquisite! The shell napkin holders are one of my favorite items on the table.

What a treat to view your tablescape this morning. You have a great eye for creating delightful table settings. It is fun for it to come together using things you have on hand. I could use your talent for a table for an entertaining event I am doing in September. My mind is already in a whirl wanting to use some glasses I purchased two years ago on clearance from Ballard Designs. I don’t think I can bring it together with what I already have. I need new napkins to pull the colors together.
Thanks for inspiration today.
Bonnie, your encouraging words really do mean so much. I am confident that you an pull a table together-shop your house! I am anxious to see it! Blessings, Pam
