Arizona is a beautiful place to live but I miss the beach. I had always lived somewhat close to the ocean. I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. Brazil has some of the world's most beautiful beaches. In the States I lived in NJ and FL also close to beaches. Just the thought of sand in my toes brings a smile to my face. With summer right around the corner, I wanted to bring the beach feeling to my house. With some glass candle holders and gems from the Dollar Store, ribbons and beads left over from previous projects, I made some candle holders to go with the "beach shelf" that we have in our family room. I also added some sea shells around the house and pictures of family trips to the ocean.
We might be miles away from the ocean but I feel happier now!
This how the wall looks like after we painted and added the picture frames with summer pictures!
I LOVE summer!
Now to the Beach Candle Holder Tutorial:
