Beachy Decor

Here are some fun home ideas for a more beachy or summery feel. I love the splash of color in each room and I just adore white kitchens!

Gwyneth's amazing decor

I love seeing how people decorate their homes. It is so fun to see what creative people and ideas are out there. I was very impressed with Gwyneth Paltrow's home decor. She is so beautiful and classy, it is no surprise that her home reflects her taste. It is very simple, put-together, and calming! The kitchen is amazing! I love the color of the cabinets and the white chandeliers.

{Thoughts}

"In spite of illness, in spite even of
the archenemy of sorrow, one can
remain alive long past the usual
date of disintegration if one is
unafraid of change, insatiable in
intellectual curiosity,interested in
big things, and happy in small ways."
Edith Wharton, A Backward Glance

"It isn't the great big pleasures that
count the most; it's making a great
deal out of the little ones."
-Jean Webster

"Any adult who spends fifteen
minutes with a child outdoors
finds himself drawn back to
his own childhood, like Alice
falling down the rabbit hole."
-Sharron MacLatchie

"Once you realize that thought is
cause and life experiences is the
effect, then you realize that the
greatest way to change your life
is to change your thinking."
-Marianne Williamson
