DIY Coastal Decorating

Driftwood Decor

Drift wood can really bring a coastal touch to any room in your home. I love using drift wood as books ends on my shelves. An easy drift wood favorite is a chandelier. 

What you will need:
large mass of drift wood, 2 foot of clear Christmas lights or rope lights and thick medal pot hangers (found at  any local appliance store)

Steps: Simply wrap the clear lights all around the drift woods, going in and out of all the loops and letting it hang some. Then attach the metal hangers. You can hang it anywhere. I have one hanging in my gazebo in New Bern. It makes the perfect outdoor lighting if you have an outlet outside. It's EASY and BEACHY ELEGANT! 



Another great way to use driftwood is to attach hooks to a long piece. Then by attaching it to the wall you have a great coastal piece to hang your articles on!

Starfish Mirror

At any local pottery store or michaels you can find already bleached or colored starfish. I love to decorate using starfish all the time! I found a regular mirror for $5 at a thrift shop. Then I simply hot glued starfish all around the edges. It looks great in a beach bathroom or on any wall in your house!
