New Look For Only $2.00

It seems like I always want to change things up around here at COASTAL CHARM...I guess that could get very pricey, but here at COASTAL CHARM, it's not too bad at all. Since we sold our beach house two years ago and had to combine two households into one...then that left me with lots and lots of accessories. I have a room in our cottage where I store all my goodies...much cheaper than renting a storage building and very convenient! One of my accent tables in the family room had a black tablecloth and a red silk topper...I was pleased with the look, but looking for a change...so I went to my stash and found this Target zebra shower curtain and I knew I had just what I needed. I had found this shower curtain at a garage sale for only $2.00 (looks like new)...got into my fabric stash and came out with some burlap and so now, I had all I needed for my new look! I never thought about using a shower curtain for a tablecloth...but it works just fine because the table sits in a corner...have you ever done this?

Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays No.12

It's that time again...it's NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAYS here at COASTAL CHARM! This week I have been cleaning house and changing up some things, but I have been BAD...I have not been good about taking lots of pics...so I only have a few to share with you today. I was hoping to have all my new THRIFTY curtains up in the screen porch, but that didn't happen...I guess I should have stayed home and off our beautiful beaches...I just could not help myself...I love this time of year at the beach! While I was there, I found a SUPER DUPER deal at a local furniture store...I'm not quite ready for the big reveal...so today I'm only giving you a little peek...I know...I'm a big teaser!
Do you remember me from last week at NTT? Now I'm all filled up with sea shells found here at our local Alabama beaches! Now don't I look good for only .50 cents?Another white ironstone piece to add to my collection and another .50 cent find!A box of fruit vase filler from Target@4.99...I got mine for $1.49 at a local salvage store.Can you tell what I am? Come back later this week and I will tell you!

Family Heirlooms

Family heirlooms are such a delight to have and my mother-in-law left me some beautiful things....over the years I have used many of her treasures in our home and today I thought I would share a couple of them with you. I will post more of her treasures in the next couple of weeks...I have so many beautiful antique pieces to pass on to our daughters...I hope they appreciate them as much as I do.

Here in my dressing area is a collection that I display....I truly treasure all her beautiful things!

Lovely Vintage Pin...I can just see her wearing this to church on Sundays!

Vintage Pearl Evening Handbag....I have used it for weddings and nights out on the town!
I'm linking up to these FUN parties!

Looking Out From The 18th Floor

The views at the beach are awesome and if you have never been up on the 18th floor...this is what you are missing! This complex is located across the street from the beach in Gulf Shores...WOW...you can see for miles! I went with Mr.CC to preview a condo for one of his clients and I thought I would share some of it with you...my friends in blogland. If you are wondering...YES...our beaches are OPEN and still look as BEAUTIFUL as ever! PLEASE don't believe everything you hear from the media (they LOVE to stretch the truth)...we have had NO oil here and it looks like we will miss it, if it continues on this path...it's 60 miles southwest of us! Please keep us all in your prayers:)


I luv the colors in this bowl!I can just see myself taking a Sunday afternoon nap in this "COOL" chair!He is such a "cutie pie"!My favorite place ever...GULF SHORES, AL.I so wanted to be on the beach today, but this house needs some serious cleaning!
