Ok Heather – this is brilliant!! Especially since coral is so expensive and if you are lucky enough to spot some on the beach, you really should’t remove it. I have 10 minutes today I am doing this!!
You’re right Kelly – you shouldn’t collect real coral. This is easier, quicker and so pretty for summer! Appreciate your lovely compliments!

I love this idea! I found some for only $3.00 on ebay from China, if you don’t mind the long shipping time. (Usually 2-4 weeks.)
Hi. Love this blog. Where can I find the horse artwork and the artist’s name?
Wonderful I’m so glad you love my blog! I bought this horse art at HomeGoods many years ago and haven’t found it since. Hope that helps.
These look amazingly real. Those to which you linked are out of stock, but there are other options.
I agree! They really do look real! I updated the link to ones that are in stock!
What a great idea – thanks for sharing. Do you have a source for the mirror above your fireplace – it is lovely.
Thank you and you’re welcome! I added a link to a similar mirror to the post! (mine is out of stock)
Do you have the link for the vases you used with the shells and coral and the link for the scalloped coral?
