• Stitch up some airy tropical style nursery window treatments to coordinate with your beach baby bedding using some colorful beach towels.
• Choose floorcovering products to reflect sand and surf with a surfboard,seashell or scuba diving motif themed nursery rug.
• Use a grass hula skirt to embellish a plain cornice board for a Hawaiian grass hut look
• Display a few toy crabs,tropical fish or surfboards in the room in an organized way by placing them high on the wall in a fishnet.
• No extra cash on hand for fancy seaside resort baby furniture? Get to the neighborhood craft store and buy a glue gun and some seashells. Now, go to work embellishing your plain old dressers and armoires with a beautiful crown of seashells and a seahorse or two. This is a decorative treatment that should be kept well out of baby's reach.
