I love the beach! Best place in the world to me! Here are a few suggestions:

You could do a piece of wall art like this, and surround it with picture frames:

HI- am wondering what i can do besides typical beach art/prints? thanks!

Giant wall decals
large map-maybe even of the area your beach is in
clocks with time at beach, time at home, etc.

A large map with a classy frame is a fun way to take up wall space, and it can add a personal touch if it's of the area where your home is. Photo frame collages of the family/friends/pets on the beach could also be fun and add a personal touch. Best of luck with your decorating!

Hi all- thanks for the great ideas. I actually have a collage of family beach photos going up the entire staircase to second floor so don't want to duplicate that look. Have been looking everywhere for a beachy/coastal themed "set" of prints/canvas art of possibly crab, lobster, shrimp...to add red accent and still go with the look of the kitchen. Having hard time finding a nice set of bigger size art that would work. Any suggestions on where to look?? Thanks!!
