Regal Red Shell


October 21, 2011

I love decorating with shells, but they aren’t too fitting for the Fall considering that I live an hour away from the closest beach.  Yet, I like to keep some beachy touches around year-round because they remind me of warm, happy, summer times.  So I decided to Fall-ify a shell so it could be beachy, but still a little autumn-y.

Plus, I had been itching to use the Rustoleum “regal red” spray paint again since I really loved how it looked on my outdoor planters.  So I gave the shell a crisp red coat of paint and I love how it turned out.

It’s still beachy, but I like the pop of fall color.

I love how the shell turned out and want to try spray painting different shaped shells in more colors. What do you think?
