Raise your hand if you love the beach!

My anywhere but here game is always me lying on a beach on a super sunny day with a stack of books and a margarita.

Ahhh, Heaven.

I may not be able to spend my days that way (yet) but I can bring some of that dream into my everyday with this gorgeous nautical decor.

Put them in the bathroom, light the candles, and sink into the tub with a great book for a mini-retreat in your day.

Display Ideas

  • Fill the candle holders with a small amount of sand or brown scatter. Then top with a tealight (electric or real) for a gorgeous nautical display.

  • You can also fill them with sea glass before topping with a candle for a more beachy vibe to your decor. Bonus, the light catches on the glass and it looks stunning!
