THINGS I LIKE

ACCESSORIZING WITH CORAL

Going away for a few days always ushers in a renewed sense of inspiration, and sometimes it reminds you of why you love certain things you have always been partial to.
So beautiful, and each piece with a unique organic character, Coral is a decorative accessory I will never tire of.  A grouping like this one of different corals well utilizes the space without being generic...
 With all the colors, shape, and styles its easy to find a piece that suits you. I love seeing corals mounted on lucite which I often see at HomeGoods! and on other fun stands as well, its a great way to add some height to a table.



 One piece is the perfect finishing accent to a table, bookcase, on on top of a stack of books!

  4. I love coral too. Big pieces are very expensive, but fortunately I'm also a polymer clay nut and faux coral is super easy to make!

  6. I also have an infatuation with coral. I love it in that oh-so-interesting second room and also set on top of the mirrored cube table so it reflects all the sides of it. Great images for inpiration! I blogged about it a while back if you'd like to take a look for a few more ideas here: http://bjdhausdesign.blogspot.com/2011/01/coral-infatuation.html.

  8. You've inspired me! I need some coral. ALSO I totally am behind apparently because you were in my new issue of Traditional Home in an ad for a blind company! I was like "Wait! I know her!" So exciting!

  11. This is so timely for me - I've had a set of coral prints in my Etsy cart for a while now and worried they were too common and wouldn't work with my non-beachy decor. I think I may actually pay for them now ;)
