The coffee table has a square hunter green base with drawers and the top draw has a glass top so whatever you put in can be seen from the top of the table. I want to find a really craetive idea to decorate this space. it is probably 5'' deep so it cant be anything to tall. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

Answer
What do you collect?
1] Make a collage of family photos
2] seashells with sand, some beach grasses and beach glass
3] make a diorama - do a summer one with sand glued to a large piece if background paper, shiny blue foil 'ocean', scraps of terry for beach towels, cocktail umbrellas for beach shade, and little plastic people with large button 'frisbees'[ then make a back -to school, Christmas, etc. ]

How to make a room look Hawaiian /beachy?

Gymnast4Ev

Long story short, my dad built a sandbox about 4 feet by 5 feet in our backyard, and put up walls and a room to make it like a sandbox/room (this was about 10 years ago, when my brothers were about 8 and 9). He dug out 3 feet of dirt and filled it with sand. Over the years, we've added rooms around it and now, we have a fort with 3 rooms downstairs, a "loft" with mattresses and all that, we have electricity, and one of the rooms (the kitchen) has running water. I decided to paint a few of the rooms, and I though it'd be cool to turn the sandbox into a beach room.
So far, I put 2 buckets a few feet apart, and put a board, a few cushions, and a sheet over it to make a couch, I've put to beach pictures on the wall, and put a shelf thing (with little cupboards at the top and a shelf at the bottom) on the other wall. I also put a ton of shells on top of the shelf thing. What else can I do? P.S. I'm gonna paint the walls like a Tiffany blue. Thanks in advance!

Answer
If your artistic you could paint a beach mural
collect shells and maybe make a coffee table by putting the shells on a board and putting a peice of plexi glass over with some boards or cement block stacked up to add height
you could get some palm leaves or a fake palm tree and use it for decor
Maybe if your intrested in music you could lern to play the ukelele and mount it on the wall as decor when your not playing
you could have a couple buckets with sand sitting around for decor
get one of those bamboo or tiki looking rugs and lay down
You could even make a little tiki bar
