Welcome to Salt Water Design Source!

I’m glad you’re here!

I’ve created this blog as a place of inspiration for all things interior design, fashion and home décor. Sometimes I’ll throw in some tips on cooking, gardening and a few of life’s lessons I’ve learned along the way.

I grew up in central Illinois and after a couple of moves, I landed in coastal South Carolina, where my husband and I are raising our 2 (almost grown) kids.

I’ve found myself with more time these days and decided to channel my passion for interior design into a blog to share with anyone who feels the same way!

I appreciate both high-end design and creativity on a shoe-string budget. 

My personal style is comfortably coastal chic, using texture and pattern to create spaces that feel welcoming. Since moving to the coast, I’ve been influenced by the calm and rhythmic waves of beach life and I crave that feeling in my home. 

So I hope you’ll follow along as I seek out. explore and share the inspiration I find all around me!
