Your home should be exactly what you want it to be. While trends come and go, we love that the coastal cowgirl trend isn’t just cute, it’s clever. It’s laid-back, a little mismatched but most importantly, easy to weave into your home. The best part? When you’re ready to switch things up, most of the pieces play nice with other styles too. We scouted local pieces so you don’t have to.
This console table from Charlotte’s Furnishings & Finds in Aberdeen. It fits perfectly in your entryway or narrow space, and it’s a perfect place to stow your seashells, ticket stubs and all those receipts for patio beers you really can’t afford.
This lighting fixture from Dahr Interior. The barrel look screams cowgirl but with the right styling, it could also say seaglass. Was this created in a modern Texas studio or uncovered from pirate wreckage off the coast of the Outer Banks? Make up your own story. We won’t tell.
Lily Rose Boutique in downtown Aberdeen has an ever-rotating mix of gifts and serving ware, but you can also find home pieces — like these drawer knobs that look like copper wrapped shells, without actually being copper-wrapped shells. Because that would be far too much.
There’s nothing like a statement vase to prove your decor is not only intentional, it’s chic. What’s the statement here? One of imperfect perfection, like a little bit of sand in your beach picnic. Lasso this one at Dahr Lifestyle.
This cutting board by Sam & Sea Artistry could fool your food into thinking a seagull will swoop down and steal it at any moment. Too much? Fine, well, it fits the vibe and you can find it online or at Made & Found (Formerly Twigg & Co.)
Nothing like an animal head hook to bring some personality into your home. Use one or make a row of ’em. This one is giving old wood, which makes it applicable for both aesthetics. Find it at Lavender Home Market.
This purse from Against the Grain Shoppe in Southern Pines isn’t only an accessory, it’ll also look great on the back of a door, atop a counter or draped over your clothes chair for that lived-in look you always achieve without trying.
This pillow from Eloise Trading Co. in Aberdeen. Does it need an explanation? Neigh.
These mini serving dishes from Cameron & Co. in Pinehurst bring some star(fish) power to your kitchen. More sophisticated than the painted shells you might find in your wine aunt’s beach house, the neutral palette is what makes these work.
A cow hide can tie several colors together while keeping things neutral. Plus, it adds a fun textile element to wherever you decide to drape it. We dare your guests not to touch it. Shop a variety of colors and prints at Charlotte’s Furnishings & Finds.
The messy scribbles you call to-do lists should have a home too, darlin’. Corral ’em in this notebook, found at The Outpost.
Scents really help bring an aesthetic home. Find this candle that smells like freshly discovered driftwood at Dahr Lifestyle.
