Fabulously Southern - A Place at the Coast (the Southern Coast!)
South Carolina Interior Designer shares her ideas for your place at the coast…
A view from my second home on the inlet…
As an interior designer based in Myrtle Beach, SC, often it is assumed that I always decorate with seashells and other beachy materials. While I have incorporated some versions of sophisticated coastal looks into my work, a place at the coast is much more than seashells and palm trees!
Definitely has that open and breezy beach “feel” but without what you might expect from a beach “look.” Whether it is your first home, second home or third home – it should always feel like HOME first!
Usually upon meeting a new sales representative, once they hear I am from Myrtle Beach, they immediately start talking to me about what seashells they offer in their line. I respond with the usual, “we are much more than just seashells, I would like to see the entire line, please”!
Who says a second home can’t have some style?
I just love creating a place on the coast and using blues and emeralds to tell the story of being on the water!
A comfy place to gather after long days on the beach. Note the art work on the walls, SHELLS! But, beautiful and elegant shells!
Now, if you are looking for a great coastal look where we do incorporate shells, then we do that, too…we call it “SEASHELLS DONE WELL”. I love using elements from the beach, I just like to do so in an elegant way.
In this spare guest room, I brought in some traditional “beach” elements, like palm trees and created an elegant feel with the canopies around the beds.
Where I like to put my feet up! A view from the back dock in my second home on the inlet.
You know what they say..
Life is more fabulous in flip flops!
