How to Bring Coastal Elegance Home, No Matter Where You Live
Do you love the feel of coastal elegance in your home? Have you ever dreamed of bringing the relaxing vibes of the coast into your space, no matter where you are? Yup, me too!
I adore the colors and the feel of coastal design in general and it infuses such a peaceful feeling into my interiors. I’m not particularly fond of the “kitschy” atmosphere, but I do lean towards a more casual-elegant feeling overall.
However, embracing the tranquility and charm of coastal living doesn’t require a beachfront property. Instead, it simply begins with the thoughtful infusion of coastal home decor. Coastal decor brings the serene ambiance of the seaside right into your home, whether you’re miles away from the shoreline or lucky enough to have an ocean view.

Turkey Talk: All You Need to Know about Thanksgiving Trivia
I love Turkey Talk and Trivia! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays of the year – and we celebrate big at our house. Thankfully, an entire day dedicated to eating and family time make the perfect holiday. In our home, we start the day with the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, then gather around the table to roll out lots of sausage cheese balls, a family tradition. Then, we enjoy a casual lunch of the best ham and Swiss sliders, while continuing to prep for dinner. Everyone gathers in the kitchen to help – and I love the big family chaos that ensues.

A Move to Myrtle Beach
A move to Myrtle Beach involves more than just the journey and home selection, but it also means you are starting out with zero “favorite spots.” Finding the best food in the area takes time, but it can certainly be a fun project! Also, there will be some “trial and error” shopping outings before you zero in on “your” kind of places.
Coastal Scents: The Vacation Collection by Bella Vela
Are you one of those people who opens and sniffs all the candles while standing in line to check out? I am.
There are some pleasant smells, but none just exactly “it.” I put them back, disappointed.
I want to walk into my home and be immediately welcomed by a beautiful scent – something fragrant, yet clean. I want to be greeted by the scent of being stretched out on an island somewhere, anywhere. Is this too much to ask? You know the scent. There’s a little floral sweetness to it, and maybe orange? Coconut? Definitely some sea.
Well, I found it and I’m happy to share. You can thank me later.
UNCOMMONLY – What’s In A Name?
Are you wondering why we named our blog “Uncommonly Coastal”?
The word “uncommonly” refers to something which is not frequently encountered or seen. It describes things that are atypical or unusual, in comparison to what is generally expected or observed.
Welcome to the Uncommonly Coastal Blog
Dream with me for a minute.
Picture yourself on a pristine coastal beach, where the sand caresses your toes, the ocean breeze whispers through your hair, and the rhythmic sounds of the crashing waves lull you into a state of bliss. Ahhh…
As you walk along the shoreline, with the warmth of the sun and the scent of the salty air, all your cares and burdens gently melt away. Then, when the sun begins its descent, painting the sky with hues of pink and orange, you realize there is nowhere else you would rather be.
