Coastal Home Decor in 5 Easy Steps
Hello, and welcome. If you've been visiting a while, you already know I love the summer, the ocean and all things beachy. Which means that I also love coastal decor - not only do the colors appeal to me, but I always feel that it transmits a message of calm and serenity. It’s more than just a theme - it’s an atmosphere.
So, as we start the year, here are five easy steps to bring that breath of fresh, sea air into your space.

Welcome to The Really Crafty Link Party #492!
Hello, and welcome to the first link party of 2026! I hope you've had a lovely holidays season and I'm glad you could join us for a new link party this week.
Over the past few weeks I debated a lot about this party - whether to keep it going this year or not, mostly. I would love for the party to grow, but I also know that with more links coming in I would not have time to look through all your posts. Working all day out of the house in a very time consuming job and then having to juggle time for the family, our house, the blogs, the Etsy shop, and all the rest of what we call life is taking a toll and sometimes I’m not sure where to find enough hours in a day to do it all.
In any case, I do love hosting the party and even though I often lack the time to leave a comment on everyone’s posts, I decided to keep it for now. Let’s get to party #500 (I have some special ideas for that one) and then I’ll adjust the plans for the rest of the year if necessary.
But for now, let’s party! If you can, please try to visit at least a couple of other posts and/or leave a nice comment on other people's creations, and help spread the word on social media.
As usual, the party will be open until Thursday and I will post the features on Friday, January 9th.
Please note that there's a 50 entries limit, so make sure you link up early.
Scroll down to join!

The Power of the Blank Slate: Why You Should Set Goals for the New Year
The turning of the calendar page from December to January feels like a blank slate, a chance for a "Fresh Start Effect". This annual moment of reflection and renewal makes the New Year the perfect time to set meaningful goals that can shape the next twelve months and beyond. But why is setting goals so important, and how can you make sure they stick?
Here are the key reasons why you should embrace goal-setting at the start of 2026:
