A recent trip to Galveston
to spend a few days at a lovely home on the bay
was the inspiration for this post.
Want to peek into the kitchen cabinets?
They are full of colorful glass dishes
that reflect the cool colors of the ocean.
Not only are these dishes full of color,
they also bring wonderful texture to a table.
Glassware in clear blue
shimmers like the deep blue waters.
blue margarita glasses on the windowsill
as they reflect light and a view of the water in the distance.
While these colorful tumblers
make me think of a beach umbrella.
Tumblers with a shell motif offer a bit of
contrast to the seafoam greens and blues.

More umbrella stripes for the butter dish.
To accent the vibrant colors of the sea.
Ceramic mugs of seafoam blue
and wavy sides are a perfect fit.
Colorful Fish
Clear glass snack plates
take on the color of these paper napkins.
More accents of various textures
can be found on the table.

Woven placemats the color of sand,

A large tray filled with beach themed treasures
is the perfect centerpiece for any Bay House meal.

What a treasure trove of fun dishes at Galveston! We enjoyed a trip there with our whole family almost three years ago. I think the place we stayed at was called Point West Resort. We loved it!
What pretty colors! I love all of the blues and greens together.
Oh, Sarah, what gorgeous colorful dishes! I wish you had let me know you were Galveston - II would have loved to meet you!! Hope you enjoyed your stay on our little island. From the sneak peeps, that looked like a lovely beach house.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Lucky you to have found a place with so many nice things in the cabinet, and leave it to you to use what you find most creatively.
Those colors are truly brilliant, love them!
I love the colors of the sea and this array of dishes and cups and silverware reminded me of sea glass, Sarah! Your centerpiece was perfect. I'm glad you had a nice time away relaxing nd enjoying the gulf shore.
This looks like a wonderful place. How about that lunch? Call me at 4312008 when you are free. M gone to camp until late July. How about one with me and one with her?
Aren't those colors just perfect for a bay home. The plates look like sea glass!
The owners really filled their cabinets will all things reminiscent of the ocean!
Thanks for being brave enough to open up someone else's cabinets and take pictures. You are always thinking of us!!!!!
What fun dishes for a beach home. I love the flatware. They have such fun flatware now. I hope you had a wonderful time - how could you not?
This is so pretty Sarah. I love how you photographed the stacks of plates.
Beautiful colors and choices. How fun to see these. The flatware is very nice as well. The table is lovely with all of those colors. Reminds me of the sea.
Love blues in the summertime! We have to get our beachy inspiration somewhere, it's sure miles away for us! Have fun at Fiesta! The weather should be lovely! We have guests but will not make it to Santa Fe until July.
Hi Sarah, Pretty beach colors and of course I love the sea shells. Thanks for sharing at the Open House party.

I hope you had a fun getaway. I need to look for some fun clear glass plates to layer~ love the fish on top of the coral napkin :)

Dearest Sarah, I just found your comment on my older post for the party and the afterglow is just as fabulous as the party itself. Wasn't that fun? EVERYONES' participation in this is what made the magic...thank YOU again!!!! MILLE BISES, Anita
This is gorgeous and I loved seeing it! Anything beach inspired -- particularly something so well done -- is wonderful.
OOoohhh....I'm longing for the beach, especially after this fabulous post!!! How close are you to Houston? I'm going to be spending several days there in August to get my daughter ensconced at U of Houston!!! I would love to treat you to coffee/dessert and give you a big hug in person! I need to see how close Marlis is, too!
Love/hugs/blessings,
Lana
Oh my gosh, I would be delighted to have so many blues/greens in one place...♥♥♥ it!
Hi, Sarah..I use photoscape.org for all my editing and most of my collages. They have so many layouts and so easy.
Like the one with grandson-in-law, and his little girl, Cate..I just looked on google for a tick tack toe and used it as a background for their photos. Really easy and fast. Then, you can size them to any size, sharpen, write words on them...just limitless. It will take a bit of playing with it but you will love it.
Lots of neat frames...so many fun things.
If you try it and have any problems, let me know and I'll TRY to help.
Right now, I am still trying to learn the new Blogger interface...driving me nuts.
Hi! I am wishing you a beautiful weekend today! I love the post and all the terrific photos you share. Have a beautiful day!
What great and fun colors! They are so perfect for a beach house:@)
Sarah,
