Elegant, nurturing, and happiest with your feet in the sand and a hydrangea bouquet in hand.

Refined, artful, and drawn to beauty in all forms—especially blue and white.

Soft-spoken, thoughtful, and at peace with a book and a breeze.
Are you a Coastal Grandmother?
Sunhat? Check. Espadrilles? Check. A heart full of beach memories and a tote bag filled with snacks, sunscreen, and maybe a mystery novel? Double check.
If you’ve ever found yourself walking the shoreline at golden hour, you might be a Coastal Grandmother. Perhaps you collect sea glass with your grand loves. Maybe you’re doing it just for yourself. This aesthetic is more than linen pants and blue-and-white dishes. It’s a lifestyle rooted in calm, grace, and a love of all things seaside.
The Coastal Grandmother Vibe
She’s the one with a straw clutch in one hand and a basket of hydrangeas in the other. She’s hosting family dinner with a striped apron on and a candle flickering nearby. She doesn’t rush. She knows how to fold a napkin, style a coffee table, and sneak a little chocolate after 8 p.m.
Does This Sound Like You?
- You gravitate toward blue and white in every room
- Your wardrobe is 50% linen and you like it that way
- You have strong opinions about basket storage
- You light candles even when no one’s coming over
- You keep your seashells organized (or at least try)
- You believe life’s too short for itchy towels or bad coffee
Sound familiar? Welcome to the club.
