My husband and I are part owners of a condo in Corpus Christi, Texas. It is small but on the top floor (9th) overlooking the ocean. We spend most of our time on the deck sitting with binoculars watching the ships and beach goers. Those of you that know me or have been there, know how frustrated I am with the interior. It is in terrible need of updating! My husband and his business partner bought it before we married and as it goes with partnerships..not everyone wants the same things. I love to decorate and they love that it is furnished with old, worn-out furniture and could care less if it gets updated. Now don’t get me wrong, they are wonderful people, they just aren’t into it! So in a week or so we are headed there and I made the decision that with or without them, I was changing things!!!! So on a MAJOR budget I am doing a make-over. If it all works out I will post before and after pictures. Honestly, I am embarrassed to post the before pictures….oh my…..it is bad!!! Anyway, here are some great beach house ideas from Coastal Living. I can dream…can’t I?
I love the oars....
Aww...apple green!
Are these beds not to die for? How cute!
I think this is my favorite! Love the reds and blues!
These window treatments could work in our place....hmmmm.
Blues and reds...so calming.
This reminds me of our place...a small place yet so comfy...dreaming again!

Can’t wait to see what you do. I know it will be beautiful if you have a hand in it!
I HAVEN’T EVER GOT TO GO THERE BUT I DO WANT TO!!!!!! SOON!!!!!! CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE MAKE-OVER!!!!!!!LOVE YA’ PK
It is actually for sale…but you never know! I want you to come or we can just go somewhere together!
Hey I can’t wait to see what you come up with — It will be fun to see your decorating on a shoe string — creative and beautiful!
And I think we will all need a girls trip to the beach to stay in it before you sell it.
Now that is a plan! Maybe this fall..which is the BEST time to go. Hmmm…sounds fun.
Ok, save all these pics!! Jax new room, surfer theme, with that hanging bed, TO.DIE.FOR. Love it. I love all of those rooms.
