>> there is a way to give your home that beach house look. this is "today" on nbc.

not everybody is lucky enough to live at the beach. that doesn't mean you can't make it feel like the ocean right at your door. >> here with some simple and low budget do it yourself projects

to get the easy breezy beachy feel at home is amy goodman, contributing editor at "coastal living" magazine, which i love. i love that magazine. >> so peaceful. >> you can do that and make your whole house feel like the beach. >> that's the idea. the first of our do it yourself ideas is things you can do any home to transform and give you that great beachy feel. >> okay. >> so we're going to start off with this great coat rack. when you first enter a home, it sets a mood. we took the oar, sanded it and primed it. you can paint it in a green or sea blue. we found fabulous little drawer pulls, you can use hooks you find at your local hardware store. the trick here is just to make the drill hole a little bit smaller than the actual screw and then you can manually put these right in. d rings in the back to hang it up and instant impression. we're always wondering what do we do with all the shells we

have collected from all our travels, from the beach. here we have beautiful decorative mirror. first tip, if you get these shells yourself, sometimes they have a slightly oceany fragrance. treat it in one part bleach with one part water, soak it and this will eliminate any residual odor from that. we put some baby oil on it to pretreat it. and then you're ready to go out and work with a hot glue gun, putting down the big shells first and then the medium and small to fill in the gaps. >> okay. this is cute. >> that is cute. >> you take a standard lamp you have at home and give it a nautical twist that is very unique and fabulous. start from the top of the lamp, you put the hot glue gun all the way around and then just put the first ring around. you work your way down and, like, about two inches of sections of hot glue. we'll show you, you don't have to glue the entire thing, a little section of glue here and about -- like two inches or so, when it decides to come out and you can secure your rope. >> i can never do it, sorry.

>> there you go. secure your rope as you go. when you get to the bottom, you can flip this upside down and put it between your legs to get it more secure. at the end, when you cut it, do a dollop of the glue gun so it doesn't fray. >> okay. >> we love embracing the coastal lifestyle every day. this is a beautiful decor piece for any area of your home, even a centerpiece. take your glass containers. we used ginger jars, use any one you have at home. fill it with about a third with sand. the tip is to mack a funnel with a sandwich bag and sand. clip off the tip here and it makes a nice funnel so the sand doesn't fly all over the place. and then fill it with your beach glass and/or shells to make it a beautiful display. >> how do we get this wall in our house behind us? i want that. >> and then here we have a very do it yourself. we'll have you dive in. this is a shell pattern beautiful pillow. get a pillow, take the pill you out, put a hard board insert inside so the paint doesn't go

through and with your paintbrushes put on a color of your choice, these are fabric paints. and just put that all over your fan shaped shell. you want a nice wide shell with deep grooves that will make a nice stencil impression. you can roll it on to the pillow because if you just press it down simply, you only get a few lines. for anybody at home, do practice on a paper or remnant cloth before you get started. >> this way? >> you can roll it on for that beautiful shell look. it is a great start. >> you need more than i was putting there. >> with did them in rows, by color. >> thank you, amy. >> tomorrow, actress charlize theron is with us. >> and amy brenneman sits down with us. and a performance by dierks
