Coastal Bathroom Progress

Remember back at Thanksgiving when my husband took me down to Bayou La Batre' to collect oyster shells. 

Well I have quite a few projects planned for these shells so stay tuned!! 
One incredibly heavy storage container FULL of shells= LOTS of projects.

The mirror in the kids bathroom desperattely needs some sprucing.


The oyster shells were bleached and sundried for 2 days.


I had so much fun sorting through the various sizes of the shells to figure out what would work.

To attach the shells we used clear drying, all purpose construction adhesive



Took maybe an hour to select the proper shells and attach them to the mirror.




here you can see the adhesive underneath and I knew it was dry once clear.




I am going to go back and attach a small rope to the inside rim of the mirror to finish it off. 


Took about 5 days for all of the adhesive to fully cure. 
Then two of the shells werent attached well, so I had to take it back down and reattach.
