"Coastal Casual"

My recent trip to the North Carolina coast provided some awesome inspiration for coastal casual style.  There's just something about coastal style that I love.  It could be the fact that I grew up on the coast, or that I love spaces that make you want to lounge around.  Whatever the case, I'm absolutely in love with the easy, breezy and natural look of coastal casual.

I had a chance to visit a really cute furniture store in New Bern called Branches Furniture.  It was filled with the most delightfully causal pieces of furniture. 

These upholstered pieces scream comfy cozy.

I also loved the weathered look of these end tables.

 And, although a boat coffee table is a little literal for me, but you got to admit that it's quite charming.

Unfortunately, I couldn't bring any new furniture home with me, but I was able to bring a little taste of the coast back.

Before I left, I picked up a new large glass bowl at Goodwill for $0.99.  They always have such a great selection.

I knew I wanted to bring back some sand and shells for a little reminder of my trip, and although it's a bit late in the season to be adding summer accessories to my home...

Better late than never.  Until next time....

 Leave me a comment.  I'd love to hear from you.
