subtle bursts of sea glass


The warm weather this past weekend made me wish that I was sitting on a screened in porch being cooled off by the ocean breeze. When in comes to coastal interiors I prefer subtle shades of blues and greens, like those found in sea glass--even just a few touches against an all white backdrop creates perfect seaside serenity...

When you think of coastal homes--what colors come to mind?

this is beautiful! I love that color tile as a backsplash. Now if only someone would give me a nice little beach house to go with it . . . :-)

These are the colors that come to mind for a costal home- calming, serene and peaceful blends of neutruals, white and soft blue. Lovely!

I'm relaxed just by looking at these picture, can't imagine how I'd feel if I actually lived here! And that just maybe my dream kitchen on the top...anything to so with sea glass, I'm in.

So pretty. I always find those sea glass shades so soothing and refreshing at the same time.
Love these images. I think of a lot of white with small pops of blues, greens, and a little bit of coral!

I agree with you 100%. These interiors are the perfect example of a coastal home. Love that tile in the first kitchen.
Beautiful images. I love sea-glass. I alway think of creams, blue, greens and of course when I think of a coastal home.

Of course I'm in love that painted wood floor and totally a reminder that I have on my to-do list for finishing up the kitchen!
These are the perfect coastal colors - so serene. What a beautiful collection of photos!
