You Can Take It With You

I lived in Southern California for 11 years. My dream was (is) to have a little cottage (apartment) by the beach. For 7 of the 11 years I was in California, I lived on the West Side, where the ocean air changes everything about your living situation.

When I moved back to Illinois, I wanted to bring some of that beach feeling home with me:

seashells next to a little bit of inspiration

a picture of the beach that hangs on the wall

seashells in a decorative container

and a collection of small shells in a poi bowl
