Falling into the Season, Coastal Style

The holidays are always kickin off with festive decor in our home.  We enjoy surrounding ourselves with warm colors and cozy decor, while keeping our beach inspired look throughout the year.  Usually I leave out some shells (and rotate where they are placed), keep our picture frames out year-round and change out the matting colors, and work in the holiday accessories right along with them. 

Here are some photos (including some of our new pillows cover purchases)!  :

Our entry (darn sign makes the loudest noises when you open/close the door, but it's so dang awesome):



Living Area:




Loving this candle that's lasted us forever:



Our coffee table contents remain the same year-round.  Who doesn't love them some surfing books with holiday decor embellishing the table top?




My photo of our black side table didn't turn out too well for my "pumpkin story," however, I can assure you that we decorated with real pumpkins a few years back, and those suckers got moldy underneath and took the paint right off of our table top.  Grrrrrrrrr.  California holidays, too warm I guess.  So nothing but faux now, at least in the living area.  We did score some awesome faux black and white pumpkins this year and I'm hoping to come up with a black and white theme for next year!

We typically bring out more comfy pillows and throw blankets in abundance just in time for Thanksgiving- can't wait!

From our home to yours- Happy Spooky weekend...................hope you have something awesome planned?

Your home is just what I imagined it to be- but better. I adore your style and just smile thinking about all the little details. The silver crab... LOVE!! The glass lamp and candle... drool. New pillow covers... smashing. And of COURSE all the holiday decor! But I have to say, that door sign... is the best I've EVER seen. Where on earth did you find that gem?
