The Beach House decor

A small catch-up from our week at the Outer Banks - The house we stayed in was quite unique. It was historic, and beautiful in a simple way, with old wooden shingles outside, and lovely porches all around the house. I took pics of the house decor because it was such a funny mix of kitsch (not this traditional map that I really liked in the first picture that was of the Outer Banks). I've never seen such a collection of stuff that I always joked when seeing in a store, "who would buy that??" Actually, we all sort of enjoyed discovering things because there was so much. It is interesting to spend a week in someone else's house. The Marilyn Monroe portrait really threw us off. Most of the stuff was beachy or pastel so her picture was just so odd. And it was in the dining room of all places. Next is a giant lump of shells that was the dining table center piece. We quickly moved it to the buffet table, next to the squatting flamingo.
Anyhow, here is my flickr set, and here is Dav's.
