As the breeze begins to warm, and the days stretch longer into the afternoon, a longing for a closer connection with the ocean and its natural elements starts to emerge. Perhaps, it’s due to years of experiencing that “school’s out for summer” joyous feeling and the subsequent and seemingly endless hours of beach “hangs” with friends. Either which way, there’s an ease to the seaside life that is relaxing and welcoming, the type of vibe many of us desire to feel at home. Here, then are some great ways for us (inlanders included!) to infuse a bit of coastal chic into our decor…how cool.
