There’s something about living near the sea that makes you crave simplicity, light, and calm — not just outside, but inside your home, too. Since settling on the Emerald Coast, I’ve slowly curated a home that feels like an extension of the shoreline: airy, soothing, and full of intention. And the best part? You don’t need to live on the water to bring that beachy peace into your space.
Below are some of my favorite Amazon finds that bring both style and function to our coastal life — items that help keep things organized, calm, and just a little bit magical, no matter what season we’re in.
Guru Nanda Aromatherapy Essential Oils + My Favorite Diffuser
This diffuser is the first thing I turn on in the mornings. It gently mists essential oils (I’m partial to lavender and peppermint), and it doubles as a humidifier — which is great for balancing out that salty air. It’s compact, minimal, and looks lovely in any room.

Songmics Gallery Wall Picture Frame Set + My Favorite 8 X 10 Frame set
This set has completely transformed a blank wall into one of my favorite parts of our home. It’s modern, easy to hang, and perfect for mixing beach photos, baby milestones, and quotes that make you feel grounded. We use ours to tell the story of our life together — one frame at a time.

👉 Shop My Favorite 8 X 10 Frame Set
Whether you’re displaying seashells, stacking board books, or storing beach hats, a clean-lined bookcase is a must. This one is sturdy, timeless, and fits almost anywhere. I love blending woven baskets with books and framed photos to keep it both organized and warm.
We swapped out our old rug for this one in soft blues and ivory tones, and it changed everything. It brightens up the space and brings that subtle coastal vibe in — without being too theme-y. It’s the kind of piece that makes your living room feel like a vacation house.

Outdoor Solar-Powered Twinkle Lights
Our patio has become our sanctuary thanks to these solar-powered lights. They cast the softest glow at sunset, and we’ve spent countless evenings out there — just Stephen, Jace, and me — soaking it all in. They charge during the day and flicker on like magic at night.

Coastal living, to me, isn’t just about the beach — it’s about creating space for rest, family, and the kind of beauty that feels lived-in. Each of these finds has helped shape that space in our home, and I hope they bring the same kind of ease and inspiration into yours.
With love, light and saltwater in my hair,
