Pelican Painting


pelican painting
 
In keeping with my Louisiana coastal feel, I found this pelican painting at Goodwill for $3!  I’m killing two birds with one stone here!  LOL!  Since the pelican is the Louisiana state bird and it’s a coastal creature, it is the perfect accessory!

The starfish came from Goodwill as well!  I was really surprised that it wasn’t all broke up.  The vintage style clock is Better Homes & Garden from Walmart.  I have been searching for some old clocks like this and have not come across a single one!

It works well with the urn of seashells!  To see that post, click here.

I do have plans for the mirror and hope that I can get it done this week but I have to work on the taxes!!  Yes, I wanted till almost the last minute this year!  What do you think about this lamp?  Does it look good here or should I try something different?

UPDATE:  I have completed the mirror that you see in the background!  It has now been covered with oyster shells!  To see that post, click here.
 
Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Love the pelican! It's a great vignette. I might change the lamp to a more chalk-y like piece to go with the rest (but I love the lamp, too). Still have MY taxes to do as well!

    1. Thanks, Nancy! I liked the lamp there for the winter months but I'm thinking I need to change it. Guess what? I just finished my taxes!!! It didn't take as long as I thought! Good luck with yours!

  4. The pelican really spoke to my inner beach babe! I haven't had any luck either in my pursuit of a vintage clock. Just may have to go see if I can find one at Walmart.

  13. Lucky you..love the pelican painting and I can't believe you got it for only $3. Wow!
    Coastal decor is one of my favorite styles, although I live 5 hours from the coast. I like your lamp, and think it picks up on the browns in the seashells and starfish.

  17. I am so envious of your pelican! What a fun find. It adds just the right amount of whimsy to the space.
    The lamp would probably be happier somewhere else. Maybe a more matte finish lamp base in a more coastal shade like a light turquoise or deep gray.
    Fab vignette!
    Thanks for sharing!! Found you via No Minimalist Here :-)
