Blogger Bookmarks: Shorely Chic

Meet Liz of Shorely Chic , and check out some of our favorite posts from her blog. Below see what she's bookmarked as sources for home design inspiration from MyHomeIdeas. See her favorite makeovers, rooms, house tours, and more.

Like the soft crash of ocean waves, a sense of calm washes over visitors to Liz Orgera’s blog, Shorely Chic. Her style is coastal, simple, and comfortable—from the beautifully beachy decor in her Fairfield County, Connecticut apartment (It’s amazing what she’s done with a small, rented space. Really. Check it out here) to her online Etsy boutique where she sells seashell adorned mirrors, beach chic Ikat throw pillows, and handmade seersucker French memo boards (like the one we used to make this inspiration board. Buy it here). In just her mid-twenties, Liz has started a business, a brand, and a blog. We can’t wait to see what the next decade brings.

Inspiration Board: Shorely Chic

We draw inspiration from design bloggers. Where do they draw their inspiration from? We asked Liz Orgera from Shorely Chic a few questions and from her answers, imagined what an inspiration board in her beachside bungalow might look like.

    Instead of facing the street, the front of this house looks out onto a canal. Taking a cue from West Indies architecture, a second-story porch juts out over the first story.
