Pottery Barn’s entertaining section is filled with wonderful seaside inspirations. The color combination of white, red and blue are perfect to create that nautical ambiance. There are just so many photos to share that I have to divide this into 2 parts: Part III and Part IV.

I was browsing for some nautical decorating inspiration and found Pottery Barn among other sites. I didn’t realize until now that Pottery Barn has all these nautical inspirations. So I decided to share them with you. Let’s start with indoor decor – part I.

I was looking for a carafe that I can use everyday. I am very clumsy so I prefer non-glass ones. Then I found the Prodyne Acrylic juice jar. It’s a clear carafe made of acrylic so it was perfect. It comes with a screw-in lid either in white or black. It also comes in two sizes: 56oz and 36oz.
When I got it, I was pleasantly surprised. It looked like glass! The lid is a screw-in so there are screw threads on the mouth of the carafe, but it still looks fine with or without the lid. The lid has a little opening and a cover with a rubber stopper to seal it. The cover does not open easily. I guess it’s better tight that way so it won’t loosen so easily. I flipped that carafe 360° several times (not slowly) to see how tight that seal was, and so far no spills. The acrylic wasn’t very thick, but hopefully it lasts. Unfortunately I can’t try to drop it to see how sturdy it is, sorry! But I still highly recommend it if you’re looking for a non-glass carafe.
When I imagine the house that I would be living in, I never imagine navy blue on any of the walls even though I love navy and white. But when I saw this bedroom at House Beautiful, I guess that will change. The walls are beautiful. And who would have thought shutters would make for a great headboard and bedroom decor?
Now that I’m about to embark on a new journey, a journey with the love of my life, I can’t help but rediscover my dreams. Dreams not of white picket fences, but the turquoise ocean.
And here’s my first dream house find. With all the Viking appliances, John was in-love.

We’re not very creative at home when it comes to setting the table. Most of the time, we serve ourselves. Now that I’m getting married and looking forward to inviting friends and hosting parties, I decided to re-learn the right way of setting the table.
MyHomeIdeas has a very informative article on table setting etiquette. Don’t you love photos and illustrations? I love them! Click on images to enlarge/download.
Aren’t these luminaries gorgeous? They’re actually made using wax and balloon. Candletech.com has instructions including step-by-step photos on how to create your own beautiful wax luminaries.

I love DIYing and I would love love to do this for my wedding. Unfortunately, I think we’re doing a day wedding so candles are not really needed
