beach baby condo LIVING/DINING room ideas

oft pastels, bleached wood, faded linens, gauzy muslins, found objects and distressed paint finishes all define the vintage coastal look. This style is resourceful — nothing is discarded. Instead, new ways are found to use worn or mismatched items. An old piece of rope can be reused as a tieback, as a trim around a table or to hang a painting.

Most important, this look shouldn't feel contrived. There's beauty in imperfection, and the appeal of timeworn objects is an enduring one. Vintage coastal style looks best when it evolves — the things that you find and collect over time will rarely look kitsch.

Pendant lights. Low-hanging pendants help dining area feel cozy and also provide all-important task lighting. Select models that have a retro feel, with shades of seeded or frosted glass or brushed nickel. If you like, mix the pendants with vintage-inspired sconces and perhaps even a lamp or two to create a collected feel.

Slipcovers and cottage style were made for each other. What's more laid back than tossing a sheet over an old sofa and calling it a day? OK, so it's not quite that simple, but the right slipcover does lend a low-maintenance charm — and hides a multitude of upholstery sins.

CURTAIN TIEBACKS - Dakota Rope Drapery Tiebacks - $65.00 »

Rope detail is a great way to add a coastal or nautical look. These curtain tiebacks would be a simple detail to add to breezy white curtains. Other ways to incorporate rope might be as pillow edging or arranged artfully in a hurricane vase. You could even use heavy rope (look in a boating store) in place of a stair railing.

This room is a perfect example of coastal transitional. It has the blue and white striped rug, a pelican painting, shells on a contained trayscape. Note the sophisticated fabric selections on the pillows and custom upholstered ottoman.
