Chanel-ing the surf

After extolling the virtues of how sexy I think surfing is for guys and girls the other week here I started to think about beachy surf decor.
I love the beach. I love to sunbathe. I love the sea, sand and eating ice-creams and I LOVE drinking cocktails or beers watching the sunset.

So we established that I may not know how to surf- although I'll have you know that I did stand up first time while being taught in Australia before gracefully taking a lungful of sea water thank you very much- however a lot of me just loves the idea of owning a surfboard- probably more for what it represents but I would love to have own and own one and touch one and pretend I use it, so I found a few ideas of inspiration for what to actually do with one in the home. . . . .

Hang as a bit of art
Turn into hooks- I like.

Chalkboard

Realistically this chalkboard idea would be the most fun and easiest way to incorporate a surfboard into my home, maybe mount it on the wall and have in the kitchen for shopping lists and reminders

But boy can a girl dream. . . . . . .





Oh and while we're looking at Chanel surfboards why not invest in some of Chanel's other goodies?




Snowboard? Yes


Guitar. Sure

Boomerang. What!

Looks like all the ingredients for a true Aussie beach-bum's dream!

A girl's gotta dream!


Amongst my dreams of subway tile, a turquoise kitchen, wood floors, exposed brick walls, giant mirrors and an indoor swing I have another dream for my future house. A designated shoe appreciation cupboard/shelving unit!

I think really any girl would love the idea of this- you're kidding yourself if you don't! Somewhere to show off your amazing shoes? Yes please! I may even buy a pair of Christian Louboutins just to celebrate. . . . . . Nah just kidding I'll just paint the soles of a pair of mine in celebration!





It has backlighting and everything!

I like this one. Can buy an old cupboard from an antiques market and make it look super dooper!
