Living in a beach community affords lots of wonderful shells that can be gathered together and used to decorate your home. If you do not live by the beach you can still bring the beach to you by adding some
beach decor around your home for the holidays.

The look of this bedroom is very simple to re-create on your own with a glass hurricane from Pottery Barn. Gather together some tree branches either from nature, or for city dwellers check out CB2 for some great botanicals and some silver baubles.

This oyster shell vessel is very beautiful. If you love this look I have also seen something similar to this for entertaining as a serving bowl for oysters on Pottery Barn.

 

This garland running down the banister is a very unique and fresh idea! Boxwood and juniper branches have been entwined with starfish in rigging rope.

 

This holiday-inspired table is one of my favorites! The bursts of red and the balance of all the the centerpieces creates a wonderful setting. The hanging silver ornaments from the chandelier was a fabolous idea and the great thing about it is you can use some of these ideas as inspiration!

 

Starfish and clam shells look amazing in holiday wreaths, garland and Christmas trees. I love the look, so beachy and natural, I can smell the salt air!
