Shelling on Sanibel Beach Mural
Shelling on Sanibel Beach
Mural
One of our treasures of
SW Florida is the stunningly gorgeous Sanibel Island. It is a destination spot for
tourists, honeymooners, those fleeing the bitter cold of the north, and even
our locals. The beaches are filled with fabulous shells of all kinds. Collecting
shells is a favorite pastime for anyone visiting Sanibel. A recent homeowner
who loves collecting shells on Sanibel decided to have her favorite retreat
location painted onto her poolside privacy wall.
With the serene
colors of sky and gulf waters of the mural, the poolside is truly a retreat:
In the distance you
can see the Sanibel lighthouse:
And, of course, the
beach is scattered with shells:

Blue Shimmer & Platinum Faux Finish
Blue Shimmer & Platinum
Faux Finish
Our primary bath is
often our sanctuary. It’s a place to soak the troubles of the world away, take
a few deep breaths, and unwind. The wall finish in the primary bath needs to simultaneously
bring happiness and peace. And that is just what this gorgeous faux finish combination
does with its blend of soft metallic blue and metallic silver.
To create this serene finish, the walls were painted in Sw7653 Silverpoint cut in half. The colors used for the faux glaze are Modern Masters Blue Shimmer and Modern Masters Platinum. A traditional method of rub-on and rub- off evokes the expanse of the sky.
