Summer is upon us and there’s no better time to think about bringing seaside coastal designs indoors. Most of these pieces will help whisk us away to a mini vacation with the simple act of pulling an espresso shot or creating a bowl of ice cream. They provide us a fashionable respite from the day to day — exactly what each adult needs at the summer months. So for the times when we can’t break away to get outside, permit your own kitchen to invite the feeling of a coastal getaway. — Megan from A Sweet Spoonful
