Coastal decor has always been about bringing the beach to life in your home. Every beach find is fair game and the best beach finds are always shells. If you beach doesnt offer the cream of the shell crop then you can order some special specimens to fit the bill. The secret to decorating with shells is to display them in a manner that elevates this simple gift of nature to a real treasure. Display your shells or beach finds under glass, on special trays or as a display in a jar or bottle. My favorite way to display shells is in these great candle holders from ArtSea Gallery & Goods.

Easily customized, each glass candle holder can be filled with sand, shells, sea glass or colored glass to reflect your decor or each season. They are beautiful for an outdoor centerpiece, end table or in a beach style bath. Where ever you use them, make them an interactive part of your overall design. Keeping your style fresh with added detail and interest is part of enjoying the coastal life all year round.
