    Thank you for your advice. Is there a way to enlarge the first image? Also, what color blue is on the walls?

    BM quiet moments is a lovely colour, worth looking at. Love the lantern lights with coastal design

    I like a little more aqua than a blue. Looks more "coastal".

    Kelly, as someone who has tried many different paints trying to get that soft coastal look, don't go for anything too obvious. By that I mean, if you pick a paint like above, it may turn out bright turquoise looking on your wall. It did mine. Silver sage came out baby blue! I finally went with a grey that had a bit of an green undertone and it turned out to be perfect. Of course, it all depends on your lighting.

    Kelly, I recommend that you always buy a sample or 2 or even three and paint a 2'x2' square on your walls and live with them a day or 2 in all kinds of light before doing the painting. What shows on a monitor or even their paint strips are never a sure thing until you actually have it on the wall. Good luck and keep us posted on your results. I do think it does help to see the actual paint strip in your room, It is a good starting place to help decide if you like it or don't.

    Home Depot has some great paint sample sheets that you can paint and hang on the wall. I have quite a few up already. Still deciding between carpet and hardwood floors.

    It's been helpful having additional eyes look at the project.

    Can you tell me where the rustic chandelier and wall sconces came from?

    You've had great suggestions on the paint color already. For the lighting a lot depends on how much you want to go beachy, and how much is more nautical/maritime. This lighting from our gallery might help. This shell sconce is at the beachy end - the sandy orange would look good with either a dark navy or a lighter aqua blue...

    Or this coral wall sconce offers a lighter beachy look...

    This rope and wrought iron wall sconce is definitely in the rustic maritime zone but still nice and clean, not too fussy...

    As is this brass lantern pendant lamp. I could picture this on a ship at sea...

    Update: we painted the walls Sea Salt and it looks great. Any suggestions on tile for the floor? We currently have a blue/gray tile throughout the rest of the house.

    Thank you,

    Kelly, try a soft gray or a driftwood wood-look tile.

    In a bedroom I would do wood flooring that can feel soft underfoot then do a plush broadloom cut and having a fun tape color edge done one foot in from walls all the way around. Bare floors are cold and tiles are even colder in the middle of the night. Otherwise ever tile floor installation would not have throw rugs or area rugs on it. Just my opinion.
