Oh.....my!!!!!

Shells and mirrored furniture with gorgeous tile.

Does it get any better than this?

I'm kind of obsessed with huge clam shells at the moment.

I want one soooo badly.

source

That's amazing....right?

Love that wallpaper or stencil or whatever it is.

Brass fixtures never looked so good.

I'd be happy with one on my coffee table.

source

They look good with any kind of decor.

Real ones are super expensive.

But this faux one is on sale right now at Ballard Designs.

$129

I actually like the fake ones better because that means the real ones stay in the sea.

Pottery Barn has one too

Their's is super big and only $99!!!!

This one looks to be of cement.

Very chic

So pretty in a bath.

I broke my rule about decorating with shells this year.

I usually think that you shouldn't decorate with shells unless you live somewhat close to water.

But I was tired of not getting to enjoy them in the summer.

So this year I broke out the shells.

Thanks mostly to several people who sent shells to me late last summer.

I have plenty to decorate my living room and dining room with.

I'll show soon.

Won't have a large clam shell though...unfortunately unless I make one out 

of chicken wire and paper maché. Which I think is totally doable.
