I spent some time today creating a new tablescape for our living room.
It felt so good to get out some shells and starfish and play around.
I just shopped the house for natural/white items and a few bursts of aqua and green.
I found the ‘ocean’ piece last summer at Homesense and I pulled it out for the first time today.
Do you know the reward of changing tablescapes every once in awhile?
It makes you feel happy when you pass by…just a small change can do that!
Have you been playing with any accessories/tablescapes lately?
Share the Love!
Very pretty, Angie! I love the Ocean letters and how they are different shapes. It is sometimes those little changes that catch my eye when I'm moving through the house.
so pretty – I love all the ocean finds you have included with the sign. By the way, did you paint your living room walls and i missed it or is it just the photo. I remember them being more beige than goldy-orange.
That hobnail dish is so beautiful!! What a lovely mantel.
I'm visiting today through Layla's Summer Mantel Link Party!
I love the OCEAN piece – very cute.
Your mantel is lovely!
So pretty – love the colors! After just returning from the beach, I'm all about beachy color palettes right now! 🙂
I love it! Especially how summer = beach/ocean. Hoping ot be able to actually get to the ocean this summer with my kids, they love the beach and building sandcastles, playing in the waves…

Gorgeous Angie!!! I love the Ocean sign. Everything is so bright and cheery.
Love the contrasting colors!
What a lovely vignette! I adore the mirror you have hanging. I am always switching things and moving things around to create new looks and vignettes! Keeps things fresh and interesting 🙂
What a beautiful vignette, I love the different attributes and the books! I really need to work on switching up my mantle!
I happen to know that Calgary has been anything BUT summer… Guess that mantel is hope of things to come! It's so lovely and relaxed yet cheery!
looks so pretty i love it
I just LOVE it… wish it would fit in the deco at my house
