Coastal Style Bench

My house is nowhere near a beach. But since I’ve always adore beach style houses, one day I just decided to bring a little bit of coastal touch to my house with this humble bench.
For me the biggest challenge of this project was the designing. Like a little kid in a candy store, there were so many things I wanted to incorporate into the design. I wanted sand dollar, seahorse, mermaid, crab, starfish, whale… It was hard but eventually I narrowed down my choices to seahorse and starfish. Even though I have a thing for seahorses, in the end I felt that the starfish would be the winner from a design perspective.
I was really happy with how the starfish image turned out but, though I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, the bench felt incomplete to me… So I decided to google “beach rules” for inspiration and found exactly what was needed for the bench. Now the bench looks complete.
