Turning Dated “Befores” into Stylish “Afters”

Nautical Decor & Michaels’ Ashland Coastal Collection

Do you love the casual, relaxed vibe of rooms with nautical decor? Spaces such as {this beautiful blue and white living room}, {this large combination living/dining room}, and {this nautical dining room} are some of the many images that inspired me to go with a modern coastal feel for the makeover of my daughter’s bedroom:

Modern coastal bedroom makeover with quatrefoil chandelier, grasscloth wallpaper, wood and chrome nightstand, and blue and white bedding. Beautiful!

(For more pics of her modern coastal makeover bedroom go {here}).  I also love the coastal feel in other spaces like this outdoor living area,
this nursery,
 
Pottery Barn Kids

and {this family room}. If you love the coastal look of white and blue along with natural elements, then you’ll probably like the home accessories in the Ashland Coastal Collection, which I came across at Michaels today. The Coastal Collection is currently 40% off, which makes the nautical accessories in this collection a steal!  My favorite finds are these wood buoys – they are painted in the most gorgeous shades of blue and green:

For less than $4 each, you can snag these cute votive candle holders covered in fishing net – I can see scattering several of them across a dining table at an outdoor evening dinner party:
Intermingle a few of these small decorative bottles filled with fresh blooms!
The Coastal Collection also includes an array of your favorite sea creatures, including two sizes of these ceramic fish,
a more contemporary glossy white seahorse,
and a decorative painted metal seahorse and starfish:  
There were also some small porcelain containers and vases with a textured nautical design: 
The collection also includes some tall glass bottles covered with fishing net and miniature shells for under $5 each. They would look great as centerpieces filled with some tall blooms!
You can’t have a nautical collection without a sailboat, right?  Here you go:
 

In addition to the Coastal Collection being on sale this week, the Ashland Home Collection that I previously blogged about here (the one with all of the pretty turquoise accessories!) is also 40% off.  I still love several of the pieces from that collection, especially these:

Which of the two collections is your favorite?

      These were all sold at Michaels but it was almost two years ago so they are no longer available there. Sorry!

    I just purchased Hanging Resin Star Fish (Blue) from our local Michaels Store. The tag on the item says Ashland Home Collection Collection Maison item #392554. Our local store only had one left in blue and I would like to purchase more. I cannot figure out if you can order online at Michaels. I have been going in circles on the internet.
    Thank you,

    Judy Glass

      Hi Judy! I wish I could help you but unfortunately I don’t know how to get items from the collection anymore. I would try asking your local Michaels if they can search their stores by that SKU number to try and find you more!
