When I finally revamped my kitchen (from hideous oak brown cabinets to fresh, clean white and a paradise turquoise) and my husband built me a beautiful stained wood dining table, I instantly fell in love with everything nautical, coastal and tropical. Who am I kidding? The rest of my house is already all of that!

Nonetheless, there’s a whole new level of excitement when adding coastal features to the dining and kitchen space. And I love sharing the latest coastal finds. My husband would probably tell me, “What do you need that for?“, but honestly, what’s wrong with adding a little character?
