We bought this baker's rack years ago. I love to decorate for different seasons. It has two built-in lights and plenty of storage.
Even my soup tureen has the shell theme.
Gotta love this pretty aqua blue. So soothing and calm, like the ocean.
You can see the shell designed door handles and the rope trim,
plus the decorative piece at the top.
I decked out the shelf with my seashell plates and starfish salad plates.
I added starfish to tie in with the theme.
Lovely seashorse candle holders I bought years ago at Kohls.
Through the years, I have picked up different shells, etc.
Here's a picture of a seascape table I set below.
These hot days, you can find me in our pool, taking a dip or two.
I hope you are staying cool.

Linda, your pool looks so inviting on this very hot day. I love everything that pertains to the ocean. Your shell motif pieces are so lovely and look perfect during these summer months. Along with your aqua accents you have created a beautiful seascape. ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you. The pool is a lifesaver...Totally cools me off. My husband however prefer the temp of bath water....LOL
DeleteOoooo, how pretty, Linda! Such a gorgeous bakers rack... Reminds me of our years living in FL. I inherited some really BIG shells from my paternal step-grandmother & used to display them on glass shelves just like you've done. SO inviting...like a tropical paradise. Of course, I've told you many times I think you live in Paradise already. Praying that those awful fires aren't anywhere near you & your family members.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rett. I bet Florida has some awesome seashells. I was there once. Thankfully, the fires are not close to us. There is another fire over where my children live, but not close.
DeleteHi Linda, I love all your collection of shells living in Fl I have a lot of them I display them around my home on sommer time and outside my porch too
ReplyDeleteYour tablescape look so lovely all together look beautiful

ReplyDeleteThis mermaid is loving it! LOL
DeleteHi Linda, Oh I love your bakers rack with the cabinet bottom. This is one of the nicest I've seen and I love how you change it for the seasons. The coastal beachy theme is gorgeous. I am loving the aqua look at the moment and going to carry it into fall with vanilla and brown. It's being shown a lot with orange too. Beautiful look and thanks for sharing this inspiration. xo
ReplyDeleteLinda, your beachy baker's rack is so pretty and perfect for this time of year. I love all of the white pieces mixed with the aqua blue. Your pool looks amazing! I've always tried to talk my husband into a pool. So far it's not working.
ReplyDeleteI love decorating with shells. You have a very nice collection for your baking rack. I have to admit to getting distracted by the view you have - so lovely!
ReplyDeleteLinda,
