Decorating For Summertime with Shells can be as easy or as complicated as you want. You can use your shell collection, or purchase them at an online store. You can spend a lot or very little. All it takes is a little imagination, some sand, coral, a few vases, a cake pedestal, vintage jars, and lots of shells.

I started collecting shells when I was a little girl. I can remember going to the beach with my grandparents and my grandma taught me how to look for shells. That is when I became addicted (okay, well, obsessed) to collecting shells, sand, sea glass and even rocks.

My kids have even taught their kids about collecting shells. Now when the grandkiddos come for a visit, we look through the shells, and rocks.

We like to lay them across a table or the floor and play “mix and match”.

Now let’s talk about a few ideas about Decorating For Summertime with Shells.

 

I like to fill any vessel I have with shells, rocks, moss and sand. My vessels are vases, spice bottles, glass canisters or even a vignette of all of them combined together.

I even use shells as a vessel.

Shells even look gorgeous under a cloche’, don’t they?

You can gather all of the same type of shell together and place them on a cake pedestal, as I have done in these two pictures below.

You can even make your own DIY Sea Glass Tray. (I purchased the glass at Pier 1.)

I even like to celebrate Summer with sand, shells and sea glass on our front porch.

Candles are always a good idea, aren’t they?

Especially when they are sitting in a silver shell.  These are ideal for indoors or outside all Summer long.

So what do you think? Will you be Decorating For Summertime with Shells? To me, shells give a fresh look in any home-and any style.

Thanks for stopping by and letting me share on of my favorite collections with you.

Make it a great day!
