Beachy Wall Art

One step closer to a finished Master Bath!




Pinned and Completed! 
I found this gorgeous mantle on Finding Home and absolutely FELL in LOVE with it.  
*Sigh*... isn't it beautiful....?

I pinned it and knew that there had to be a way to incorporate something like this into our Master Bath.  It would bring exactly that touch of beachy coastal feel I wanted without being too kitschy.


Our Master Bath has been {almost} done for several months weeks now.  In my process of procrastinating with the painting of the kitchen cabinets I decided to take an afternoon and get some decor up in our Master Bath.  

I hauled out an old window frame I had picked up from a garage sale for $5.  I added a couple layers of sisal twine and grapevine wire.  From that I hung some sea stars that I had picked up from Michaels, glass mason jar lids and some of my grandmothers shells that she had collected from the Connecticut shore near her home.  I thought it was a great way to display some of her collection.  A glue gun is all it took to hold everything together.  








It's not exactly like my inspiration pin, but I'm pretty happy with the overall look!

    Nice use of a salvaged window and great way to display your grandmother's shells. I like the way the drape of your framed bits mirrors the drape of the banner in the window.

    I like that you put your own spin on it. Makes it more unique and special, and it turned out beautiful!

    The glass mason jar lids are new to me. They look really pretty hanging with the beachy treasures.

    I love it! It turned out so cute! And you can say that you actually made something you pinned, unlike some people (me). I can't wait to see the finished bathroom!
