Summer Sofa Table

My sofa table serves as a "stand-in" for a mantle.

It always get a new look for the seasons. 

 Summer means beach, so that's where we're headed.

I wanted to used our custom made tile on the stand. But it was lost on the big stand

 I had Larry cut a piece of plywood so that I could mount it.

We ordered this Chez' May tile from the artist while we were in St. John 

for our son's destination wedding in December 2000.

Diane Artware. We bought a few pieces from her.

This still didn't look right to me.

I went into the garage to find some sisal rope for the edges.

I hot glued the rope to the boards edge and around the tile.

Much better.

I found this driftwood and added that. 

A large conch shell, was also found on a beach.

I filled a large apothecary jar with crushed shells from the beach,

and topped it with a large shell and a little greenery.

This is another tile we bought. while in  St. John.

I added it on a small plate stand.

The perfect coastal lantern, with shells and a blue pillar candle
(a Christmas gift from my niece Christina and her family)
 was brought in from the living room coffee table.

I'm going coastal with blue, ivory, shells and sand.

Cheers!
