Coastal Chic...o how I love thee

While I love decorating in chic of all types, Coastal is by far my favorite! When visiting a small town on Whidbey Island, I stopped in a cute little shop and saw some amazing coastal chic decor for sale. Here are some pics that I plan to use as inspiration for my future decorating endeavors.




Anyone else a fan of Coastal Chic? Please share your tips, photos, links with me! I can't wait to see what beautiful ways others are using the beach to beautify spaces...

Island 'Day'cation -- Whidbey Island, WA

As I mentioned, photography is a new passion that I'm developing. I have no real education or training when it comes to using a camera, with the exception of I'm learning along the way. I've recently upgraded from a simple point-n-shoot to a slightly more advanced Nikon Coolpix. I take it with me wherever I go, including when I recently traveled via car and ferry to Whidbey Island, WA.
We stopped at several downtowns, as I love to look around at chic boutiques and yummy bakeries. We started at the bottom of the island with the town of Langley and made our way up to Coupeville, a town that stole my heart with all of its coastal scenery.


Oak Harbor was next on the list of stops, followed by a quick detour to check out the Naval Air Station Whidbey (couldn't pass up a chance to check out one of our bases!). The final stop on out 'day'cation itenerary included a quick stop at Deception Pass State Park. With beautiful views of the bridge, it was a perfect place to stop and take photos.



From there, we headed home and basked enjoyment of discovering so many local mini-adventures.

I'm sure we'll be back to Whidbey very soon to visit new areas and towns. Do you have any recommendations? Please share!
