Coastal Conservation Association and The Iron Fish Gallery sculpts a great fund raising partnership!

 

I am proud to say that I have created a respectable collection of “doormat” flounder sculptures for Coastal Conservation Association to auction off for their fundraising events in Texas, South Carolina, and Georgia.  Each metal flounder sculpture measured approximately 29” long and has two signature eyes.  Please look for these iron fish sculptures at the Coastal Conservation Association events in Texas, South Carolina, and Georgia.  Bid them up past their $225 value because you will get a one of a kind piece of art and you know the money goes to a great organization.  About 85 were commissioned for this “corporate order” so enjoy fishing for them.

Many thanks to CCA of Texas, South Carolina, and Georgia for finding value in my handcrafted iron fish art.

1. Keep it light.

 

The coastal decorated kitchen photographed below utilizes light colors with wood paneling for a great look.  The coastal accents look great, and I love the window letting all the wonderful light in.

The flounder sculpture on the wall is handcrafted by Chase on Daufuskie Island, and is featured in his Permanent Collection of Iron Fish Sculptures, which you can see by clicking here.

Here is a closer view of this elegant flounder decoration.  If you look closely you can see the rustic finish that Chase’s work is famous for, having been featured in Coastal Living and Southern Living to name a few:

 2. Coordinate your accents.

 

It is important to try and coordinate the accents that you choose to decorate with.  In the beach house kitchen below, they have used a few well placed red accents to complement the crab sculpture featured over the stove.

Crab sculptures come ‘cooked’ (red), like the one seen above, or ‘uncooked’ (blue), and come in a variety of sizes.  See them all by clicking here.

3. Mix it up!

 

Finding unique decorations for your coastal kitchen will keep it interesting, and fun!  I love the variety used in the beachy kitchen photographed below, and that vintage red light hanging overhead looks great next to the lobster sculpture on the wall.  The green shelf complements the red accents against the white walls, and it all flows seamlessly.

Lobster sculptures are available in 3 sizes, 12″ x 21″, 17″ x 26″, and 24″ x 40″.  See them all by clicking here.

 

Here is a closer look at the lobster wall decoration.  Notice the attention to detail as Chase carves this nautical work of art from a steel canvas:
