Recently purchased these amazing wicker chairs. Now waiting for my custom sofas to
arrive today

#LTKhome

My Katrina wicker chairs have arrived! They are the perfect coastal addition for my beach front log cabin. And so comfortable

#LTKhome #LTKstyletip

Come tour my mudroom in my seaside log cabin. Lots of tips and tricks for creating a cosy entrance

#LTKhome #LTKstyletip

A blue velvet bed frame, soft duvet, throw, accent pillows, good lighting and a night stand with storage make for a lovely bedroom. If you’re looking for a pick me up or refresh, changing out even just one of those elements will do the trick

Simple late winter decor focused on white coastal accents. Pussy willows add a touch of spring. Love how the ocean view is reflected in the nautical chart’s glass

#LTKwinter #LTKstyletip #LTKhome

The sea is so calm today and the sun might actually shine. Sitting by the fire, drinking coffee and reading interior design magazines in my iPad is my favourite way to start the day. I use this large IKEA mirror to reflect light in my dark log cabin

#LTKhome #LTKstyletip

Simple hand made Valentine’s decor brightens my staircase. I use a sailor’s knot (monkey fist) doorstop on top of my newel post as an accent

#LTKstyletip #LTKwinter #LTKhome

My plants seem to thrive in this mini-greenhouse from IKEA

#LTKhome

What’s better than a bouquet of roses? A pot of roses as they last so much longer!

#LTKhome #LTKwinter #LTKstyletip

Just loving my little wooden side table that I picked up recently. Perfect for a cup of tea or as a plant stand. It just adds a bit of whimsy to this comfy corner where I like to sit and read or just gaze out at the ocean

#LTKhome #LTKstyletip

DIY Valentine Decor. I took the pages of an old book and cut them in a bunting shape, then cut out hearts from different pink patterned paper and glue a pink button on top of each. Then I folded the edge of the book page over string and glued it in place. Looks lovely strung across a fireplace

#LTKholiday #LTKstyletip #LTKwinter

I’m not actually a fan of roses for Valentine’s Day. Give me pink carnations and white baby’s breath any day.

Interior Designer tip: Repetition. Notice how colors are repeated here. The decorative pillow in the forefront picks up the blue of the bed and the warm tones of the sconce and antique writing lap desk. In the next photos, you’ll see how it picks up the colors of the wave painting and the retro bathing suit set. As an interior designer, many of my pieces come from “to the trade” sources however I’ve linked a few similar options

Some of my favourite coastal inspired interior design books

Even though I’m single and hope to remain that way, I still love to decorate for Valentine’s Day. Adding these faux rose topiaries to an urn just adds the spot of pink that’s needed on a cold winter’s day. A friend gave these to me years ago, however I’ve sourced similar ones

This Hemnes Vanity from IKEA is the third one I own as I have one in each bathroom. The drawers, which I much prefer to shelves, hold so many of my bathroom products. It's small but mighty. They come in a variety of sizes so check to see which one is right for your space.

#LTKhome

Reading by the fire on a blustery Sunday morning, listening to the waves crash on shore. Looking up I thought this made a pretty picture and I was right! This accent chair and firewood basket are not currently available so I have tagged some similar ones that I love just as much.

#LTKhome

In my main floor bathroom, I have a larger Hemnes Vanity. In keeping with my beach home, aka The Beach Chalet, I've personalized it with some sailor knot (or monkey fist) knobs. This vanity has survived long term renters and airbnb guests and still looks new, after being installed in 2016.

#LTKhome

All my guests just automatically sit at these seagrass counter stools when they enter my home. I guess that's partly because I'm usually in the kitchen, serving them a glass of wine. But they are pretty darn comfortable. There's a bit of a spring in the seat. I've had them for a number of years now and they still look good as new.

#LTKhome

Looking to refresh your bathroom on a budget? I have these IKEA Hemnes vanities in all three of my bathrooms. The roomy drawers are so much more convenient than digging around inside a cupboard. Nautical inspired lights from Home Depot are hung on either side of the mirror at face height which is the most flattering. And the whale hook for the hand towel adds a touch of whimsy

#LTKhome #LTKstyletip

With a laptop computer, I find that I move around the house as I work, following the sunshine. In the afternoons, this upstairs bedroom with a desk is the perfect spot, especially in winter. My blue office chair is super comfortable and who doesn't love rolling around?

My interior design advice is ALWAYS to design for 95% of the way you want live. My pedestal farmhouse table extends to an oval that in a pinch I can squeeze eight people round but reduces down to a manageable 48" when just me, which is most of the time.

#LTKhome #LTKstyletip

I’m often asked where I bought my wood sperm whale decor. It was at a small shop a few years ago so no longer available. However I found a really similar one on Wayfair that I’ve tagged for you as well as another super cute option. The whale fits my coastal grandmother meets fisherman aesthetic perfectly! And I love its Mona Lisa smile

#LTKhome

Loving this apothecary jar from Michael’s that I received as a gift. I’m slowly eating my way through all the jujubes and gummies. Once they’re gone, I think I’ll fill the jar with some of my beach finds like shells or sea glass.

#LTKgiftguide #LTKhome

Simple pink bunting makes for perfect Valentine’s decor. It adds such a pretty and festive vibe to any space. It can be hung across a room as shown or from a mantle.

#LTKhome #LTKholiday

Come with me while I style my ottoman in The Beach Chalet. I’m new to video so have patience with me! Using books, glass beads from Pottery Barn, a bud vase and foraged shells, I’ve created a simple vignette to lift my spirits on a dreary winter’s day. But any day by the ocean is always a good day

#LTKhome #LTKwinter #LTKstyletip

Does the fireplace grab your attention or the television? As an Interior Designer, I feel that a TV should never be the focal point of a living room. I recently received a lovely compliment as my brother didn’t even notice the television when he was here over the holidays. Most people have their tv’s hung way too high. A media console like this one from Wayfair is designed for the perfect viewing height. I’d absolutely love to get a Samsung Frame TV that looks like art when off and which I specify for all my clients but my log walls make it impossible. 😢

Using spring plants that I bought at the grocery store, I planted them in a pedestal bowl to create a truly “elevated” display in my home. Moss covers up the dirt, giving it a natural, lush look. Adding a bit of spring as I transition from Christmas decorations to winter whites, gives me joy.

#LTKhome #LTKstyletip #LTKwinter

Early morning light as the sun rises over the ocean. Helebores from the garden are the first signal of spring, even though it’s early January

#LTKwinter #LTKhome

Missing the Christmas greenery? Transition to cozy cottage winter decor Growing rosemary in my Bergs plant pot just seems to elevate the plant. And then I elevate even further by displaying it on a small white cake plate. 😂 Adding the fishing floats gives everything a bit of sparkle because we can all benefit from that in winter! ✨

Decorating after Christmas - transitioning to a cozy coastal cottage Coral 🪸 under a glass cloche elevates your decor. Paired with some books with neutral spines, works beautifully for the transition to winter decor

#LTKhome #LTKwinter #LTKstyletip

Cozy cottage winter decorating Pussy willows in a white pitcher instantly transitions your decor from Christmas to winter whites. And the glass fishing float, nautical chart and coral lamp lend an instant coastal vibe. Which of course is my jam

#LTKhome #LTKstyletip #LTKwinter

Transitioning from Christmas Decor to winter whites and browns. With the decorations down, it feels bare and dark. So I filled this glass cloche with foraged pine cones, mercury glass cones and fairy lights. Adding a candle for scent still gives it a woodsy smell. The dried star dish and coral lamp add a coastal vibe

#LTKhome #LTKwinter #LTKstyletip

A major windstorm is predicted today combined with a king tide due to the full moon. I’m ready to watch the massive waves, assisted by my binoculars, from a cosy spot inside Always love exploring the beach afterwards to see what treasure has washed up.

#LTKhome

Powder Rooms really benefit from a bit of drama or the unexpected. In this oceanfront home, an oversized triptych of a sailing ship's blue print is just perfect. Repeating the vanity in the same colour adds the drama. And a rattan mirror suggests the seaside without being too literal.
