Trying to keep the inspiration going

I had to join Pinterest in my computer class at school...how fun! I thought I would show some of the stuff I pinned to give you an idea of what's been inspiring me right now. Once I get a place of my own again, I would love to use a color palette inspired by the beach: light sand, sky/light blue and aqua. I think it would be calming and easy to find stuff that works with the color scheme. I would use the softer colors for living/dining areas and a brighter version for the bathroom. I still want to use grey in the bedroom...love the idea of soft greys and silver accents in the bedroom. Here are a few pics that have inspired me:

Now, don't get me wrong, I love beachy stuff and think it's cute to decorate your beach house with literal translations of the beach (shells, etc.), but my inspiration is for the colors only. Like this...

These are just of the few living rooms that I like. In the next post, I'll share some bathroom and bedroom ideas. I know that I will probably never own a beach house, but I do love the idea of living in a home inspired by the beach. I think I could even make it work during the cold winter months.

Thanks for letting me share...until next time,

Heather
