This seashell wall art piece is my one and only craft project I did last year. What can I say, I'm more known for featuring other people's awesome Craft Projects.
A bit of sanding and one light coat of white primer was all this old wood door needed that was tucked away in our basement.
And tiny nails in the right spot to hang large sea shells (and the starfish).
Flashback to 2007 when we bought our Coastal Home! Can you spot the old wood door? It's right next to the open door leading down to the basement. It was once a closet that we removed.
All the stuff you see on the floor, we had plumbers in the house for three weeks!

Yes! Re-use is especially important now days, plus its part of the "old" house too... Its looks fantastic Maya... I didn't know you were so crafty... Are you a 'closet' crafter?

It may be your one and only, but she's a beauty! We are going down to the beach this weekend to take care of some business, but I'm planning on taking some buckets to collect more shells....and beach glass! Have a wonderful weekend!
Amazing!!!! I know where this would look perfect since there is one room that's entirely nautical............MY dining room!!!!
