Driftwood
Another staple of classic beach decor is driftwood, weathered wood that has been washed onto a shore. The "motion of the ocean" makes it difficult to determine the origin of a piece of driftwood and I think that's why I like it. From the smooth edge or jagged grooves you can almost feel the history of a piece. Decorating with driftwood is really very easy. You can arrange a large piece on a coffee table or gather smaller pieces in a dish or vase. Lately folks have gotten their creative juices flowing and are creating lovely pieces of art. It's amazingly easy to work with and can easily be cut into smaller pieces for complex projects. Unlike other DIY beach decor supplies it can be used year round to add a coastal touch to seasonal decor.
I recently saw this beautiful (and cheap) project for DIY Linen Driftwood Pumpkins from
City Farmhouse.
