Caron's Beach House Achieves Silver Status with Surya Rugs!

Caron is thrilled to have achieved this coveted status with Surya!  Surya has become one of our all-time favorite home decor companies to be affiliated with; especially as they continue to expand into lighting, more pillow designs and wall art options, and even more rug choices for our beach house customers.

We had a chance to catch up with them at the Las Vegas Winter Market at the end of  January.  So many cool new rugs that will be in stock in April - can't wait!  Here's Kristen (our adorable Account Executive!) showing us a few of the designs that will be available for this spring - everything from indoor-outdoor, wool flat weaves, stripes in every color, to plushy seashells and fish!  

They have some great new art pieces too!  These bright sea fans are available now, no need to wait.

We are loving their new spring-summer collection of made in America beach house pillows!  This past week we have added over 50+ of their new coastal pillow designs.  All are available to order in three different sizes, and many coordinate perfectly all together.  Great for a beach house patio,or even on board a boat as they are all created for indoor and outdoor use.

Here's a few of them to check out - 

Polka Dots and Anchors  - 6 different color combinations to check out! Including this fave color combo  of Aqua and Red.

Ruby Red Sealife Pillows - 4 different patterns to choose from; Octopus Legs, Crab, Lobster and a Tropical Fish.

And we can't forget about the anchor collection - Navy Blue, Yellow, Tomato Red and 3 more choices! 

For more new pillows - see our What's New Category.

Stay tuned... we will be sponsoring a "Pin-It" to "Win-It" Contest starting next week - make sure to sign up for our Beach Club Newsletter to have the details arrive in your inbox!  First prize will be a new 5' x 8' Surya hand-tufted coastal area rug, (these are FABULOUS!) Runner-Up Prize will be $100 gift certificate from Caron's Beach House to be applied towards any our Surya pillows, poufs, art, lighting or rugs. 

Have a wonderful weekend, we will be spending some much-needed down time walking on the beach....

Coastal Decorating Trend - Whale Spotting!

Okay.... maybe I am a little bit biased after our whale watching trip earlier this year - but I can't help spotting whales every where this year in spring decorating ideas.  A few weeks ago, when we were at the Vegas show, whale images were incorporated into just about every product imaginable - from rugs to tabletop.

Here's just a small peek from our trip to the Las Vegas Market!

And here's a few room ideas that I've been collecting on Pinterest-

Just a touch of whale in this darling nautical cottage room featured in the pages of Country Living Magazine.

A "Whalecome" sign in a rustic Nantucket cottage - how cute is this?? (also Country Living)

And an added bonus above the kitchen sink - a modified whale weathervane!  

(sorry - not sure of the source)

And here's a few of the new "Whale" Decor items that we've just added to our site -

A "Welcome" Whale Sign - you can order in white or aqua, and can even change the "Welcome" into your own words!

New "Moby" Glassware!  LOVE these

Fun new Northshore Whale "Under the Deep Blue Sea"  embroidered pillow - love these colors and details!

Classic nautical colors with an adorable red whale - lots of other pillows now available to match!

Our Jonah the Whale carved  mango wood bookends would add a sea faring touch to a nautical room! 

Would love to know what you think. Would you add a few "whale" items to update for spring? 

Stay tuned, I am sure that we will be finding even more pieces to share!

Caron's Beach House Achieves Fab 100 Status with Rolf Glass

We're very excited about reaching this status for the second year in a row!   We LOVE selling Rolf Glassware on our coastal home decor website, Caron's Beach House, and have featured their glassware since 2010.

Tom and I met Rolf Poeting, the owner of Rolf Glass and his Director of Design, Paula Sansone-Johnson, at the first gift show we attended after moving to San Francisco in the summer of 2010. We immediately fell in love with their unique design sense, and their willingness to help a small fledgling business like mine. (Especially that part!)

Since then, we have sold and shipped countless boxes (thousands really, especially at the holidays!) of gorgeous American made coastal glassware all over the United States. Etched barware and wine glasses with designs of: Schools of Fish, Seashells, Seahorse, Sea Turtles, Herons, Compass Rose, Sailboats, Palm Trees, and of course our fair share of Pirates!

Whenever we get the chance, we make seeing Rolf and Paula a priority at the markets we attend. Had such a great time visiting with them in their new showroom in Vegas at the Winter Market this past week!

The best part?  We get to see all of the new designs up close and personal....

Enjoy my few Iphone shots in their showroom!

Rolf and Paula will continue to innovate and we hope to continue our wonderful partnership with them!
