AT THE BEACH HOUSE: the wall over the bed

After thinking about how to decorate the wall above the cane headboard for the last two years, I was finally inspired by a photo layout in Family Circle magazine ....I'm so pleased with the result...here's my version...

This was another old window from our "burb" house...the shelf is new, but I roughed it up a bit with a sanding block.


I love the iron scroll brackets!  The spa colored bird is also iron...both of these items were gifts from 2 great friends..:)



Small mercury glass votive cups with battery operated votive candles purchased from Pier 1.






I think when I return to the beach, I may add some branches to the enamel pitcher for some texture.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

  2. Oh, I like that idea. You know, if you slid a poster of the beach behind that window, it would be like looking out onto the beach.

  3. I just love this! It's a perfect look for over your bed and you have accessorized the shelf so simply, it's wonderful! I have a window, too, and I am not sure where to put it. I was thinking of over our bed but I am afraid it might fall! lol! Very pretty!
