My Dearest of Dear Beach Girls, You are Now Connected to My Wonderful, Colorful World!
It is I, Beach Girl At Home
Took me a bit, but I did want to get it just right! I’m thrilled to unveil my multi-layered, interactive, and over-the-top colorful yet super newsy website – that is to say, my home away from home, my coastal-inspired home décor boutique in Gulf Shores, Ala., the fabulous and inimitable Beach Girl At Home.
I am your Muse. I am Beach Girl At Home. And this is my Blog. We’ll meet here each week so that I may inspire and transfix you, my dear customers (those I’ve met and those to come), my clients, my friends, and my social media followers. I will introduce you to, and create for you, the uniquely vivid Beach Girl At Home look, feel, vision – the whole experience -- for you, your home, and for your family. Plus, answer your questions, make lots of exciting announcements, highlight our cool products, blog about whatever comes to mind that may interest you, and other stuff!
Prepare to immerse yourself in my wild-ride-world of color, pattern, fabric, layering, print, shape, scale, and design. Have we all not been adrift long enough in the languishing sea of coastal décor laden with white and blue, white and white, blue and blue, blue and white, and blue, blue, white, white (including all manner of tan)? If you’re nodding your head, then come with me on a journey through all things COLOR, and some pretty serious Gulf Coast Palm Glam!
I am a lifestyle, to be sure. If you have not yet been to the store, you are about three months late to the party – however fashionably! Just think color. Lots of it. Tons of it. All kinds of it. Think also mix, match, blend, balance, high/low, and that just about anything goes. Because it can, and it does! I have a T-shirt that reads: more is more is more is more is more is more is more (is more is more), and you will soon be wearing yours, too! In all of this, I’ve created a lifestyle brand for you that will free you to finally express yourself, be yourself, let your blue and white hair down and dye it hot pink, and burn those tan throw pillows in protest. You may now embrace the truth that “coastal” and “tons of color” DO go together. Stick with me here. I’ll bring you and your surroundings back to life, love, and the pursuit of Orange.
I am also an experience. On cue, my customers walk into my store and inevitably blurt out two things: I am overwhelmed (my total intention), and by the time they’ve gotten to tableware, … This store makes me feel happy! Such consistent reactions may have something to do with who I am, and the experience I’ve created in the store for you. I am a passionate lover of design, a color freak, a collector of both the beautiful and the bizarre, an insane arranger and re-arranger of all home décor goodies, a creator, art lover, outside-the-box thinker, a
researcher and a finder, a fan of all coastal favs (both new and the lust-worthy throw-back), and a raging maniac when it comes to the beach lifestyle we all have in common.
Experiences are the thing. You’ll see and feel mine in the store. You will also find, recall, and resurrect your own. We’re going to devise a madcap plan together to appoint (or re-do) your home and lifestyle into a sanctuary that reflects who YOU are, where you’ve been, and where you’re headed. The “overwhelming” experience you’ll encounter in my store is all about your senses and desires. Let’s translate those into a home that makes you and your family “feel so happy.”
Come shop with me today, my fellow Beach Girls. We are all just one absolutely divine rattan settee covered in sunshine yellow velvet Scalamandre away from being sisters in divining our own vibrant, interesting, and colorful coastal chic selves.
See you in the showroom!
