This feels like the perfect time to share some fantastic home inspiration with you guys. I don’t know about you, but lately I’ve been devouring all things creative, positive, and inspiring.
And today I’m hoping you’ll find some new sources for awesome budget-friendly decorating and DIY home decor tutorials here.
I’ve got 8 creative bloggers I want to share with you guys and they all love coastal decor.
Coastal design is my absolute favorite. I love the weathered finishes, light, bright spaces, and of course all the beautiful shades of blue. I love the easy, laid-back vibe and the touches of nature.
In case you were wondering, no, I don’t actually live at the coast. I live in the mountains of Virginia and the nearest beach is a good five hour drive from here.
But honestly, I don’t think that matters one bit. I’m a strong believer that we should all decorate our homes however we want, with the things we love most.
So no matter where you are, if you love coastal style half as much as I do, I’ve got loads of inspiration for you below. I know you are going to find so much inspiration from these ladies, whether you live steps from the beach or you’ve never even visited.
