I guess I have beach on the brain as my annual family vacation is quickly approaching. I am by no means ready for a bikini, but I am ready for beach breezes and coastal design (and shrimp, lots and lots of shrimp)!

The design board below is my dream of a bedroom in the beach house we will own “one day.” If anyone wants help decorating their holiday home, I would love to see this room come to life for you!

Here are a few other beachy bedrooms in which I would gladly awaken to an ocean sunrise:

When using a themed design in an adult space, it is important to keep the details as upscale and subtle as possible. I like the idea of adding authentic and vintage pieces, which have been up-cycled and given a new life. Here are a few ideas for adding these special touches:

Wish me luck this summer, as we will embark on our first-ever road trip with a toddler. The plan so far is to keep my coffee in hand and my eye on the prizes (and the road, of course)…white sand between my toes, an umbrella in my drink, and shrimp for days.

Life’s a BEACH! Bring on the sunshine!
