to use the shells? I already have shell mirrors and shells in candles. What are some other projects I could do with them that wouled make my house look pretty and beachy?

Answer
Aside from routine mirror perimeters, you can glue shells on any shape, painted/papered backboard with a hole, and make it into a clock. If you carefully drill holes into small shells, you can sew them onto lamp shades. I have seen strands of shells used as curtains or dividers. Simple shells glued around the apron of a table would be interesting.

I am redesigning our den area. I want to make it modern, with a beach feel. How can I do this?

I have picked out a lot of black modernish furniture. But how can I add the beachy feel? The black furniture goes with some of our other furniture in our house, but not entirely. I am really trying to stick to IKEA.com, so if you have some ideas, that'd be awesome!

Answer
1] carpet in sand, or sea blue
2] walls in sky blue, with clouds, maybe?
3] upholstery in sand [ yellow beige ]
4] hang up a seagull mobile
5] palm tree standing lamps
6] seashell ornaments and knick knacks [ planters, bowls,
candle holders ]
7] beach towel covered throw pillows
8] sheer curtains in white or sky blue
9] collect old metal [ antique, or just used ] coolers to use as end and coffee tables. If you can't find one big enough, use shipping crate and decorate it like crates in Castaway.
10] paintings of ships or beach scenes
