Beach art

We've been looking for a piece of art glass to hang in the opening we cut between the living room and kitchen at the beach cottage.  We've admired these recycled windows by a gal on the coast many times but they were all too big for the space we had. We went in our favorite antique/salvage/upcycled shop up in Coos Bay and found that she had made some small ones. This was our anniversary gift from last May, we knew we'd eventually find something.

This is looking from the kitchen into the living room - it's the perfect size - we didn't want something that would be in our line of sight.

Here's looking from the living room into the kitchen. You can see the first painted cabinet to the right of the window......this one will get a shelf underneath it to display from pretties. I'll eventually get to the rest of the painting.

And here's a close-up - see all the pretty shells, seaglass and even little crab bodies in it? It's perfect for our space. Other than finding this treasure we pretty much did nothing the past 5 days on the coast - we did go look at tiles for the kitchen counter but no decision made on color yet, getting close.......we gave up on having someone install a countertop as the contractors on the coast are notorious for not getting back to folks - we've given up on them. We've installed floor tile so we know we can do a countertop.

  2. What a unique and beautiful find! Are the objects placed between the 2 panes of glass?

    1. It's one pane of glass with a polymer type of medium encasing the objects - it's almost totally smooth except for areas with a few thicker shells.

  3. Oh how wonderful is that! Love it times 100! Do you have the artists name and maybe a link to her work?

    1. Her name is Kelly Whiteley Moss but I haven't found any website for her - no tag on the window to go by - she sells at a shop in Coos Bay. I only know her name because it was posted once in the shop but then they took it down.
