NATURAL ACCESSORIES: SHELLS

Deborah Nelson September 3, 2014

I like to use a lot of natural accessories around my house, things like rocks, driftwood and lots of shells. When you live close to the ocean, shells seem like a natural fit to use in decor. I definitely use many types, sizes and displays of shells throughout the house. My favourite is the large shell in the image above, I got it many years ago at an antique shop. It's one of my favourite things. It's heavy and so beautiful, here is a close up of it:

And a few on my mantel too, I have individual shells and smaller shells in glass vessels too. There are so many places you can use shells, and if you live close to the beach it can be fun to add to the collection.

Lots more of this extensive renovation to show over the coming months!  A quick shot I snapped of my Chester kitchen which has been drastically transformed since the beginning. Swipe over to see the before shot!  #debnelsondesign #kitchenrenovation #
I used a variety of antiques in this guest room - the bed, chair, blanket and artwork were all items I've collected over time.  I love how they add so much character to a room, the antique charcoal sketch above the bed is dated from the 1800’s
Easing you into holiday decorating with one of my favourite past kitchens, featuring a tiny countertop tree and red wool blanket. I’m a big fan of subtle decorations that can make a space feel cozy and festive through the long winter months. My
Open shelving is one of my favourite ways to display those items in your kitchen that are both functional and full of character, like cutting boards, dishes, glassware and even quirky bottle openers 📷: @samsonpix⁣
