A Seaside Shelf

In Sweet Boy’s bathroom there was a space above the towel bar that cried out for a bit of art.

Mr. Decor was replacing part of our fencing and we were left with some nicely weathered boards.

I grabbed the miter box, saw, hammer and nails and created a shelf of sorts.

It’s hard to see, but I painted the outside edge “Glass Bottom Boat” by Martha Stewart.

I then googled “vintage shell images” and found a few prints that I loved. After printing the images out on cardstock I lined the back of the shelf in a sort of wallpaper fashion taking care to line up the center image.

I hung it above the hand towel and had Sweet Boy pick out a few favorite shells to display. Inexpensive and interactive artwork perfect for a young boy’s bathroom.
