When you live in a coastal area I think you have greater flexibility for casualness in all areas of your life.  Your design choices in your home and style often times reflect the proximity to the ocean and in turn create a more relaxed, laid back appearance.  Now, don't get me wrong, my home is not filled with seashells and 1980's pink and teal sofas...not that anything is wrong with that, but I do appreciate design aspects that are earthy and airy and slightly reminiscent of the outdoors.

Lately, I have really been loving wicker basket light fixtures.  Here are a few spaces that I love.  Thoughts?

happy new year....

Hello folks.  Happy New Year and welcome to 2014.  I know I have been yet again a delinquent blogger and I could make excuses but I don't really fee like it.  We have been working on a few small projects around the house and will share with you real soon.  In the meantime I thought I would share some of my latest pins.  I find with pinterest it is really easy to establish a decor style and it is evident when that style shifts with the phases I go through.  Here's a few of my latest faves; recently it's either been really light and clean or really dark walls and cozy.  Even though they seem to contradict, I think they both offer a casual, classic style without trying to hard. You know what I mean?
