Maybe its because I'm a Cancer (my husband is as well for that matter) but I'm always and forever drawn to water. For some reason I just feel at home when I'm close to the water- that's probably a big part of the reason we bought a house located along a river. Ever since I was a little girl I can remember feeling a sense of tranquility and peace come over me while being on the water whether it was taking our yearly family vacations to the beautiful white sandy beaches of Destin, Florida or sailing with my grandfather on his sailboat in Lake Ponchartrain or even spending hours in my grandparents pool until I emerged looking like a walking raisin!
My love for water even extends to home interiors.

I always seem to gravitate towards colors that evoke the blueish-greenish-grayish color of the ocean and I love these colors most when combined with sandy beige, creamy white, and metallic champagne and pewter colors. The inspiration board below includes some items I would incorporate into a living room to bring the beach inside your home such as a sisal rug, lush silk drapes, a glass vase filled with white cherry blossom stems, and an elegant glass coffee table.
Dupioni Silk Drapes in Blue Smoke from Pottery Barn; Dubois Mirrors, Jolie Table Lamp, Clarus Display Boxes, Evelyn Large Vase, Satori Pillow, Magnusson Pillow in Basil, Tempo Velvet Pillow in Thyme, Clairemont Coffee Table, and Sisal Rug in Almond all from Crate and Barrel; Hand Carved Goldfish by Two's Company at Burke Decor
