Some Important Words of Encouragement and Advice
Your personal taste and preference in art is individual to you alone. Display the art that YOU LOVE proudly in your home or workplace. Do not be concerned with opinions or criticism from others. I have purchased many inexpensive paintings from artists on eBay that I treasure as much as expensive works of art.

WEST WOODWORKS, specializing in custom furniture and woodworking, is the vision of Davenport West, a long time resident of West Annapolis
Davenport West-Owner and Master Craftsman of WEST WOODWORKS
I am proud to feature my brother, Davenport West (Davey), owner and master craftsman of West Woodworks.
We come from an historic nautical family (our father’s ancestors provided many of the ships used in the American Revolution) and grew up spending summers on Cape Cod. Davey is an accomplished sailor, fisherman, and power boat enthusiast. He is a longtime and much beloved resident of the eastern shores of Maryland and Annapolis.
Custom Furniture and woodworking has been Davey’s lifelong passion. He has gifted members of our family with his artful woodworking creations, many of which are crafted from old (yet nostalgic) salvaged remnants from our house on Cape Cod, and which we all treasure and cherish immensely.
- Pillowtop Oak Night Table in Natural
In keeping with his love for all things beach and ocean, many of Davey’s woodworking creations are nautically inspired- from his attractive custom oak tables and benches to his charming cutouts of boats, fish, shore birds, starfish, pineapples, and nautical flags. What’s more, you can choose from various sizes and finishes, as well as an array of beautiful colors!
A very popular and very affordable item has been Davey’s wooden cedar fish, which are wonderful for closets, chests, and drawers.
Along with his preference for simple, clean lines, his keen eye and inspiration gives new life to salvaged, re-claimed, and re-purposed wood, as described in Davey’s own words:
“St. Barnabus Church in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, (founded 1692) was faced with the task of removing a 300-year-old Oak tree that was threatening to fall on the chapel. The difficult decision was made to cut the tree down. The local Boy Scout Troop delivered the tree to an Amish saw mill where it was milled into rough boards; then stored for many years at the Rectory of the church. Due to lack of interest in the lumber, the wood was slated to become firewood. WEST WOODWORKS rescued the lumber and had it kiln dried so that it would live on as the timeless pieces of furniture you see here.
- Medium Oak Bench in Caneel Bay Blue
Many of the tables have one board tops – a rarity in today’s world of wood. Some boards were too wide for the rough mill and had to be finished with a chain saw. This is evident in several of the rustic benches. The goal is for this old oak tree is to be in your family for another 300 years.”
For fabulous and affordable gifts (as well as a bit of a 300 year old oak tree’s history!), be sure to check out WEST WOODWORKS.

Bring the Seaside Home With Beach Decor
The beach can be a relaxing place to be when the sky is blue, the wind is gentle, and the water is warm. Many people have fond memories of family vacations where they experience such great beach memories. That feeling of relaxation does not have to stay at the beach though. By adding some beach decor to the house, the house will radiate the same relaxing feeling. One place to start is the bathroom.
Bathrooms can be the most impressing room of the house. When guests visit, inevitably, they will see the room and they will be alone when they see it. If the bathroom creates a nice sense of relaxation, with pleasant smells, the guests will express their enjoyment of the bathroom. An easy way to start beaching up the bathroom is with the shower curtain.
When a shower curtain is changed, the lighting and tone can also change dramatically. This is because the shower curtain is one of the biggest structures in the room that has the ability to be opaque, transparent, or translucent. When choosing a new shower curtain, it is recommended that an individual try to match the shower curtain to the already existing floor.
With so many different accessories to choose from, the creative designers can decide if they want little beach knick-knacks and figurines in the room, or if they want the room to remain functional. There are still a lot of beach decoration options for those who want only functional decorations, such as a beach toothbrush holder. Many have also expressed enjoyment about a conch shell on the toilet cover.
While the bathroom is a very fun room to decorate, beach decor can extend to the entire house, especially in the living room area or the guestroom. When moving on to this type of decorating, consider the lamps and what can be done with their shades. With the right amount of lighting, the creative designer can create a feeling that it is mid-day at the beach or sunset at the beach. Lighthouses also create a good effect.
Lighthouses can represent many different things, but a few of the most notable representations are guidance and safety, while also representing a scenic shore. Lighthouses can be found in various sizes as figurines, or an individual could find a painting and set it up as a backdrop. In fact, any painting of a beach scene will work as a good backdrop for a room.
Once a good painting has been chosen for a room, one can decide what colors to paint the room. The ordering of this could also be revered so that the painting is chosen based on the already existing colors of the room. Regardless, the colors of the room should also be matched with the lighting to create the right effect, whether it is sunrise, midday, sunset, or midnight.
| For those trying to make the home a more relaxing place, consider beach decor. With all the possible options already existing, people’s imaginations can really go just about anywhere their budget will allow. Look online for the best prices on coastal decorating items and smile thinking of the cool breeze the new room will create. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Rebecca_McKeich |
