Seahorses

Today, I'm inspired by Seahorses. Maybe I'm just so proud of the guys, who really pull their weight in the relationship, but I'm pretty sure it's because their very appearance is deliciously whimsical and innocent. Yet, as playful as they appear, don't you see a kind of confidence and regal poise to them too?

In real life seahorses are very colorful characters, changing colors to match their surroundings and even coming in "zebra stripes" and spots. And in home decor, they are amenable to every color whim that inspires you or suits your fancy.

Hey, speaking of zebra stripes, apparently seahorses can be paired with almost any pattern, including those not necessarily associated with beach decor.

But don't limit them to only bright colors.  Seahorses can wow you even with neutrals and natural textures. This one single seahorse sets a subtle theme for this entire outdoor space.

How to get the Beach Bungalow look!

For some people, "beach house" is not a massive mansion of floor stacked on floor.  Many people are drawn to a place that is smaller and less extravagant.  However, I think it's a safe bet to say that "less extravagant" doesn't mean "not awesome."  We all want to have that perfect place that reflects our personality and style, regardless of the size.

Take a look at this beach bungalow.  What a breath of fresh air the white and off white tones provide.  It's a little bit beach house meets Norwegian interior design.  Clean.  Uncluttered.  What's not to love? 

You know, you don't have to own a beach bungalow to live with this look.  There are no rule books that say you have to actually live on the coast to include beach house décor.  This would be a fabulous look for an apartment or condo, or even a small house that would not do well with ostentatious furniture.
