....towards my dreams for our bathroom....
A framed sea fan. An elegant touch of a silvery-bronze and something that feels beach-y without taking it over board. hahaha....over board...get it?? ok. Maybe I should keep my day job.
Now all I need is some marble tile, a nice soaking tub, a new vanity, new lighting, and a mirror....that's all. I don't ask for much!
Anyway, I love the lace-like shadows that these create on a white background! I wish I could actually capture some to show you. I'm sure you have seen these around, and I'm also sure that you noticed that they aren't cheap!!
I figured out how to have one without paying $300......you can order a sea fan online for less than $10 and if you happen to have a local framer who doesn't charge 9 million dollars for every custom frame, mine is ArtWorks, then you can have something like this for around $150 instead of $300.
Your framer might end up hating you because these fans are very fragile and attaching them to a back piece is a pain, but that is where coffee, or holiday treats come in. Show up prepared and you'll be able to calm the framing beast. This is a VERY valuable tip that you received for free. You're welcome!
Our wall color is a very calming green from the Restoration Hardware collection. I think it is called Silver Sage. You can get towels to match!!
Hope you are all having a fabulous week!!
I love it. I have wanted a sea fan for so long so I think it's about time I get one. Love the framing job. We had Silver Sage in a bedroom in our previous house. I love it and it's so crazy how it changes at different times of day, huh?
