    Is there anything more relaxing than a tranquil stay at a beach-front home? While it may be hard to venture off to a seaside escape, bringing under-the-sea-inspired home decor and the soothing colors of the ocean into your own living space is easily doable and beneficial to everyone. While an under-the-sea theme usually conjures up the bright colors and cartoon-like sea creatures reminiscent of Disney movies and kids' birthday parties, putting a more tasteful spin on things is easy! Subtle home accessories, peaceful colors and rich, quality materials make you home into a mini-beach front getaway, even if you live in the middle of the city. Click on the slideshow to see some stylish sea-inspired home accents that will help turn your space into a calm and charming Octopus's Garden!

    Hot In The Hive: Jonathan Adler Mr. and Mrs. Muse Salt And ...

    These days, I'm getting invited to fewer wild parties and going to more subdued wedding showers and housewarming parties instead. Well... they seem more subdued until someone drinks one too many wine coolers and the rest is Facebook infamy. Anyway, the point of the story is that I'm no longer expected to bring a six-pack of cheap beer. Instead, I have to buy a real gift that they'll actually want to use. That's why I've been falling back on the creative genius of designer Jonathan Adler and buying all his cute creations. My latest find is the Mr. and Mrs. Muse salt and pepper shakers. These super adorable salt and pepper shakers is a great choice for a housewarming or hostess gift for any quirky friends you may have. As the night wanes and I have the urge to be a little immature, I can always bring the two shakers together and have them make kissy faces. Please, don't tell me you didn't think of that too!


    Price: $48

    Hot In The Hive: The Call-To-Dinner Chandelier

    The rustic look has never been my cup of tea when it comes to interior design. While there's nothing wrong with wicker furniture and distressed wood, I have a more sleek and modern taste for home decor. So I was pleasantly surprised when I came across the Call-To-Dinner Chandelier and really liked it! A great look in an open kitchen, the dangling forks and spoons would glint in the light as well as cast interesting shadows throughout the room. If you're anything like me and love a healthy dose of modern design, maybe it's time to bring a little bit of the rustic countryside into your life.

    Price: $249

    Aviaries- They're Not Just For The Birds!

    Hanging aviaries in your home makes a spectacular statement and provides a unique way to store and display coveted items. Hang a collection of vintage bird cages at differing heights in your living room, display a single dramatic one on a table or shelf, or use cages to showcase potted plants in garden settings-- the possibilities are infinite because there are so many options when it comes to aviaries. Not only are there a plethora of bird cages available online and in antique shops and pet stores, but they are also easy to customize with spray paint and distressors. I'd fill aviaries in my home with everything from orchids to seashells to faux fruit to tea lights and dramatic candles alike. So let your creative juices flow and invest in an aviary this fall! There are quite a few available in the Hive from a pair of Far East pagoda-inspired pieces to a spectacular golden Victorian-era conservatory bird cage. Check out my SLIDESHOW to see my five favorite decorative aviaries.
