You make your own Luck

We Curacaoans are known to be superstitious. So I was always told that putting sea shells in your home can bring bad luck. A couple of years ago I couldn't resist it anymore and finally decided to gather some sea shells on the beach to use as decoration in my house. After all, what could give a better beach-feeling than actual sea shells?

              

So now that I have had these shells (and am constantly adding more), I can assure you that the old believe does not hold anymore. I would also go as far as to say that it actually brings good luck! ;) Besides, I have found it to be very entertaining and relaxing to walk on the beach to look for strange, beautiful shells. By finding the shells yourself, you will always have a unique collection. Otherwise you can always buy them in craft stores (or do a combination of both, like I did).

This is a another beautiful example of how you can bring the ocean into your home....

All in all, the point of this post is to persuade you to let go of the old superstitious beliefs and put some sea shells in your home. Sea shells give a "beachy" and peaceful feeling to every interior.

Be yourself.....

Today I got this wonderful quote in my mailbox.

“You don't need to have a home that’s like anybody else's. Take the ideas that speak to you. Use your imagination. Create something wonderful…” - Oprah Winfrey


And I think it is so true. You need to be yourself in everything you do. Living an authentic life is the most important thing you can do for yourself. And that's exactly what your interior needs to represent: Yourself. Not a copy of someone else's interior.


So go out there! Create your own, wonderful, unique, interior.
