You might think I am crazy, but I have been collecting "faux" clam shell ideas for months! I just think that this one piece of coastal home decor is simply an essential for a beach house. These large clam shells are really popular items that we sell on our website, so I thought that we would share some of the decorating inspiration that I've collected from around the web!
In the poolhouse...
At the Glamorous Home of George Stephanopoulos and Ali Wentworth - can you see the large shell in the fireplace? Don't you just love the violets and blues in this room? So different, but still so coastal.

Lime in the Coconut (very very fun blog!)
Fill your clam shell with even more shells, and bits of coral,
faux coral if possible,
so perfectly beachy!
Or fill with vintage sea glass floats..(I might know where you can find some -ask me!)
Can just imagine one of these beautiful clam shells filled with Christmas ornaments and Holiday greenery - will have to try this year and show you all.

Or just fill with pretty sand, grab a few pillars and voila' you have an elegant centerpiece!
And then there's always the party idea!

Or maybe the after-party idea? An interesting way to display your favorite wine corks...
