By this time most vacationers have long since booked with their "usual place," and you are down to those who are looking for a change or who have decided on a whim to take a vacation this spring break or summer. This is the perfect opportunity for you to win over some new folks. Here are a few things you can do to woo your new "regular."<br />
<br />
1. Refresh your the space<br />
<br />
Giving your investment vacation home a fresh look can fit into any budget you set. Depending on your needs, you could go simple and replace some <a href="http://stylishbeachhome.com/category_44/Table-Lamps.htm">lamps </a>and <a href="http://stylishbeachhome.com/category_18/Rugs.htm">rugs</a>, or you could go all out and really give your beach house a makeover. You don't have to go for the whole thing ... just a few changes like these owners made can create a huge difference!<br />

<br />
<br />
2. Stage it for vacationers<br />
<br />
Take a page from the book of professional Realtors, who have long known the benefits of staging a home for selling. Some of the pre-work associated with the staging is perhaps the most beneficial: decluttering, deep cleaning, and adding light to the space. Just because you're not selling doesn't mean you aren't "selling" your home ... your customer is simply purchasing your home for a shorter period of time. Check out <a href="http://www.floridahomestager.com/stagingbenefits.htm" rel="nofollow">this link</a> for a list of benefits to staging your home.<br />

3. Update photos on your websites<br />
<br />
Take a good, hard look at how you advertise your beach home. Many, many vacation rental websites have outdated software and photos, and they may be a reflection on your beach rental. At least update them with larger, hi resolution depictions of a vacation home (<i>your </i>vacation home) that will promise them a stay in a freshly updated home that will truly feel like the luxury vacation home they are searching for.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's not uncommon to see beach homes in bright, dazzling colors, (That's my next post!) standing flirtatiously in the sand beckoning you to come hither, margarita in hand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But today I am featuring those vivacious beach homes' older, more respected sister. ; )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Look at these graceful, serene beach home exteriors that breathe peace and tranquility even in just a 2-dimensional photo. Pay attention to the colors, textures and geography of these beach homes. Big and small, fancy and simple, there's something for everyone!</div>

If you own an investment beach property, you are gearing up for getting the most bang for your buck from this time of year, often the most popular time for families to go on vacation. This time of year might very well pay the mortgage during the slow time, so there no time like the present to "make hay while the sun shines."<br />
<br />
It's also the perfect time to <a href="http://stylishbeachhome.com/">make a few updates to your beach home</a> to draw new groups and give your returning guests something of a boost. It's important that your guests know that they can return to their comfort zone year after year, and feel that their memories will be made in a space that continues to reflect the current times and growing of their families. Let's face it, these groups that re-book with you each year are your bread and butter. Keep them happy. Don't be a victim of this sentiment: "We went on vacation there every year for YEARS but at some point it started to look outdated and it didn't feel like a nice vacation home anymore."<br />
<br />
Even as you read this article, you probably have a room or two in mind for updating. Do two rooms a year until you've gotten the place up to your standards. As for the other rooms, give them a boost with new <a href="http://stylishbeachhome.com/item_938/Crab-Boil-Kitchen-Towel.htm">towels</a> or <a href="http://stylishbeachhome.com/item_968/Big-Crab-Clementine-Runner-on-White-Linen.htm">linens</a>, a piece of art or a well placed <a href="http://stylishbeachhome.com/category_96/Bamboo-Rugs.htm">rug</a>. Whatever you do, don't let tour investment become obsolete!<br />

Old Man Winter has been really hard on us here in the Midwest. Thanks to <a href="http://houzz.com/">Houzz.com</a>, there's always a place to which we can escape the cold. Today, I am featuring modern and contemporary homes, because the cabin fever that I'm feeling has me in need of this uncluttered, minimalistic style. I don't think I need to explain the ocean views. That is medicine for the soul ...<br />
<br />
Stay warm, America! Can't last forever!<br />

Friends meet the beach house entryway. Beach house entryway, welcome our guests.<div>

And if you think there's only one way to do it, you're wrong.

</div>
Benjamin Moore announced its 2014 Color of the Year: Breath of Fresh Air. It is, in a phrase, the color of the ocean.<br />
<br />
The ocean never goes out of style on your walls, in your clothes, and in your <a href="http://stylishbeachhome.com/"><span style="color: #76a5af;">home decor</span></a>. Here are some rooms that have used a color that evokes the same feeling as Breath of Fresh Air. Smell the salty air and listen for the seagulls.<br />

And in the end, for me simplicity usually wins.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is so easy. This is so simple. This is so Christmas. This is so beachy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All it takes is adding a few simple appetizers and drinks and you are the hostess with the most-ess.</div>

Well, that sounds negative, but I don't really feel grouchy about it at all (in spite of the fact that I'd rather be at the beach for Christmas)!<br />
<br />
The thing about this part of the world is that we really don't get that much snow every year, so when we get a winter storm, the weathermen start <strike>panicking</strike> <strike>enjoying it</strike> warning people and call it things like White Death to make everyone think its so <i>serious</i> and that they need to be watching the weather 24 hours a day. So everyone is afraid to drive, there's a run on bread at the grocery store, and everything gets cancelled. Even church got cancelled. (I'm not kidding about that!)<br />
<br />
So with the calendar cleared on this Friday night, and the dimming world around us being covered with downy snow and icy glass, it feels like the perfect night for a family movie in front of the fireplace, popcorn, blankets, and Chirstmas decorating. Carrie Underwood's version of the Sound of Music is waiting for us on the DVR. (What did you think of it?!)<br />
<br />
Whether you see snow or ocean or both when you look outside your window this evening, I hope you are enjoying peace and the beauty that your area gives you.<br />

I like to sweep in at the last minute and offer up something for the procrastinators, the lazy party planners, and those of us who simply had more to do than time would allow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have chosen 5 EASY no-bake pies that you can whip up today or on Thanksgiving. They are easy to make, low maintenance on the ingredients, and will not take up precious oven space. (Click on the caption for the recipes.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Enjoy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And I will see you again at the beginning of next week. Taking a bloggy break ...</div>

<br />
Have you read those articles that claim that everything you learned in grade school was a sham? Have you heard that they may not have even had turkey on Thanksgiving <i>at all</i>?<br />
<br />
I'm not one to get my knickers in a twist about these things, keeping my focus on the point: THANKS GIVING. After all, turkey is a tradition <i>by now</i>, simply because everyone I know has had turkey for thanksgiving since they were wee little tots.<br />
<br />
But you won't catch me looking down on those who go for the no turkey Thanksgiving. After all, according to History.com, non-traditional fish and shellfish (as well as many other items you didn't see on your Grandma's table) were most likely a very big part of the first Thanksgiving. In fact, historians agree that seafood was most likely quite abundant.<br />
<br />
So in that light, I thought it would be fun to feature an ultra traditional, non-tradtional Thanksgiving menu -- a Coastal Thanksgiving Menu featuring gifts of the sea. Even those strict Pilgrims knew that everything is better with a coastal flair! ;) Just click on the link beneath the photos for recipes.<br />

Well, since it's almost 2014, we'd probably best get on with taking a look at the Coastal Living 2013 Showcase Home. It will probably be summer of next year before the new one is open for viewing, but since there is so much to love about summertime I think it's only fair that we save a little bit of fun for the cold, dark days.<br />
<br />
The Coastal Living Showcase House, also called the Coastal Living Idea House, is exactly what you think it is: it's a dream home in a coastal town, with <a href="http://www.coastalliving.com/homes/idea-houses/2013-showhouse-team-00414000078194/" rel="nofollow">builders and interior designers</a> handpicked by Coastal Living Magazine and sponsers galore. Win, win for everyone. Even you and I get to win because we get tour the house and get great ideas for coastal decorating from the pros.<br />
<br />
There are lot of photos, so let's just look at the main ones that give you a flavor for the house. You can go <a href="http://www.coastalliving.com/homes/idea-houses/showhouse-room-tour-00414000079687/" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #76a5af;">here</span></a> to see the rest of them.<br />

First impression: love at first sight! Beach homes can come in all shapes and sizes and budgets, but when it comes down to it a more traditional looking beach house is going to rise to the top of my favorites list every time. A bonus: the trusses on the exterior of the house that give you the feel of a Bahama shutter, often seen in southern/island architecture.<br />

I guess the only thing they could have done better would be to actually <i>install </i>Bahama shutters, but I'm going to let them go on the grounds that they picked an awesome paint color for said shutters. Favorite front elevation feature: grand entrance stairs. Again, my southern roots are showing. Homes in the deep south often don't have basements because of the low water table and floods brought on my hurricane season, so having to go up to the front door is common. Besides, it makes a great statement. The back exterior is no less grand and beautiful, and also has the entrance stairs:<br />

I always like to jump right to the main rooms of the house because I think they give the best flavor of the house. The next two photos show both sides of the living room. The kitchen is behind this aqua couch. Nice choice of <a href="http://stylishbeachhome.com/item_224/Sabertooth-Seagrass.htm"><span style="color: #76a5af;">Seagrass Rug </span></a>for the floor. It gives texture and keeps the integrity of the coastal look.</div>

And while I do love the hanging <a href="http://stylishbeachhome.com/category_8/Ceiling-Lamps.htm"><span style="color: #76a5af;">ceiling lamps</span></a>, I would have chosen to add a little color. Three of these Madera Pendants in the teal crackle finish. (All of our white sconces and finishes are customizable.

Almost every interior space of the home, including the home office, has access to some outdoor space. They kept it simple, but it's a job well done. This is a good example of how to incorporate <a href="http://stylishbeachhome.com/category_14/Beach-Patio-Furniture.htm"><span style="color: #76a5af;">outdoor furniture</span></a> of one type with <a href="http://stylishbeachhome.com/item_1203/Seville-White-Garden-Stool--Ceramic.htm"><span style="color: #76a5af;">side tables</span></a> and <a href="http://stylishbeachhome.com/item_1107/Whitewash-Cast-Iron-Sitting-Mermaid.htm"><span style="color: #76a5af;">accents</span> </a>that coordinate but don't match.<br />

<br />
And now we need to talk about something.<br />
<br />
I tend to go easy on other bloggers (bloggers are our friends!) or owners of beach homes (maybe they don't know any better and didn't hire a pro ...) but I don't feel the need to go easy on the big guys over at Coastal Living. I mean, they can take it from little ol' me. What am I getting at?<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I don't like this room</i>. At all. I can appreciate being bold, mixing patterns and colors in unexpected ways ... <a href="http://www.sarahrichardsondesign.com/">Sarah Richardson</a> of Sarah's House does it all the time. And I <b>love </b>it.<br />
<br />
But this ... doesn't go with the rest of the design at all and it just doesn't speak to me. Maybe it will speak to you. It's OK if it does. We can still be friends.<br />

Welcome to my imaginary rustic beach house where we will be hosting Thanksgiving this year. It's warmish here at the beach, so we're planning a Thanksgiving outside.</div>

I raided the yard and lopped off the tops of some ornamental grasses that I have, cut some flowers and some various vegetation, and created a casual, rustic centerpiece for my Thanksgiving table. The burlap runner and fabric underneath aren't even finished ... we are talking about comfortable, casual, quaint Thanksgiving.<br />
<br />
It's all about the details, so I dressed down the wine bottles by wrapping the label in twine and placing some fresh nuts and some candles on a nearby <a href="http://stylishbeachhome.com/category_27/Accent-Tables.htm">side table</a> for some ambiance.<br />
