ZGallerie Again

It seems that lately my go to spot for coastal decor inspiration is ZGallerie.  I have been admiring their large faux clam shell and was lucky enough to receive it as a birthday present.

Extra Large Atlantis Clam Shell

I filled mine with shells, coral, and driftwood and placed it on the mirrored table in my sun room.

Take a closer look with these images.

I just love shells.  How about you?
Have you done some coastal inspired decor?  I'd love to hear about it.

I Love Z Gallerie

Over the years I've found many wonderful items at Z Gallerie.  I like items that are sea-life related and they never disappoint.  One of my favorite finds is this faux coral that currently is on my mantel.

They now are offering it in indigo  and  turquoise as well as ivory.

Last week I was checking out their new stuff and found this porcelain octopus.

He will be a perfect centerpiece when I use my Home Goods plates.

I can't wait for the warmer weather so I can uncover my screened porch furniture.  I think the place for him when he's not prettying up my table will be on my factory cart.

 He ties in so well with my Thomas Paul sea life pillows too.

So who's ready for Spring and lounging on the porch?

Coastal-Inspired Mantel

My sun room mantel is always changing.  The only constant is the vintage Greek Key mirror which, for me, provides a perfect backdrop for my re-decorating compulsion.

I decided that the container filled with shells and painted Harry Lauder Walking Stick branches would look very good reflected in the mirror. So, I moved it from this mirrored table.

And, I placed it on the mantel with some other coastal accessories.

To complement the vase and branches, I used my Zgallerie faux coral, some antique leather books, and also my Pottery Barn platter.  I love the way my bamboo chandelier and my pull-down classroom shell map reflect in the mirror.

I think the covers of the leather books have a sea life/sea creature look.

In front of the books are some weighted tassels.
Up-side down and cascading they remind me of an anemone.

And you know I have a chair obsession.
These bamboo Chinese Chippendale chairs are one of my favorites

I can't forget the book with the coral on the cover on the Asian chest.
I like the cover as much as the images inside.

So what do you think about the sea life inspired change up?

FYI, this  mantel was featured on Apartment Therapy.
