Seaside Inspiration for the Home

(firmenpresse) - MISSION, KS -- (Marketwired) -- 04/11/13 -- (Family Features) Trips to the beach are popular getaways -- but if you can't get to the beach, you can bring it to your home.

Find or make pillows and accents with a nautical or beach theme.

Make a beach terrarium with a glass bowl, sand, shells and pieces of coral.

Print beach photographs or scan illustrations and frame a set in white wood frames.

Create a tablescape with books about the sea, neutral colored candles, and items like sand dollars and shells in a wooden tray.

This antique-look Photo Frame Accent Table is ideal for displaying fun-in-the-sun photos past and present. A whitewashed finish is the natural choice for breezy, beachcomber appeal. You can find more beach-inspired projects like this at .
