12 Beach Decor Ideas To Try this Summer, that will take you on a relaxing getaway, even if you don’t leave your own home.

Ah…summer time. The time of year we generally feel the need for a well deserved break and plan for getaways. A time to sit back, relax and be carefree. 

I’ve always been drawn to any destination with water. Whether it be a lake, an ocean or river. A summer getaway isn’t complete without some form of water activity.

Even as a child, this was the case, although that usually meant a swimming pool, even if it were in my hometown. 

As I’ve grown, the urge to relax near a body of water has only amplified.

For me it’s a time to decompress and invigorate my senses and view the beautiful world around me. I think feeling the warm soft sand between my toes and cooling my body from the heat of the day in the cold refreshing water refreshes my soul.

Listening to the waves crashing against the shore and slowly breathe in the fresh salty air tainted with scents of sunscreen while sipping on an ice cold beverage. 

Perhaps this is why I’m drawn to all things coastal. 

The whole beach scene in essence almost becomes a sanctuary as my stresses melt away.

I’m a DIY enthusiast at heart—after all it’s in my DNA, thanks to my parents and grandparents who are avid DIYers. I’m also a devoted wife and mother of three amazing kids who keep me on my toes. My DIY journey began after my husband, Dan and I bought our first home. With high-end taste and a tight budget, I was determined to transform our builder-grade space with creativity and minimal cost. There’s nothing more satisfying than taking something unwanted and making it into a cherished piece, whether I’m restoring a vintage dresser or upcycling everyday finds.

I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned along the way and helping others create beautiful spaces without breaking the bank! When I’m not hunting for new DIY projects, I love spending time outdoors with my family, hiking, snowshoeing, and traveling.
