Yesterday I paid a visit to my local Salvation Army depot or (Sally's) as I affectionately call it and found this vintage coastal painting. My home definately doesn't have a coastal theme nor do I live near the coast but I just had to buy it anyway it's just so endearing. I figure someday I'll be able to sell it to a client who does want to create a beach theme for their home with a vintage flair ;)
When I got home I decided to research coastal homes with vintage art and I loved what I found. Firstly the image above doesn't show any art but I thought my print would look amazing featured in a room like this. The aqua and cream hues are perfect.
love this ^^
Girly goodness
My painting would even look great in a bathroom. This lighthouse print according to the article was purchased from a junk shop.
This Hawaiian gem was bought at an L.A flea market.
An eclectic array of old and new art.
This room is a fabulous example of vintage coastal chic featuring a similar beach painting on the picture rail.
I spy a beach theme print on the top right corner of this room. Of course I doubt this is vintage art.I don't know much about art but I know what I like and I especially like inexpensive art lol. Who says you need to pay Picasso prices to make a wall look fabulous?

I love your new find! I live not too far from the ocean and have done my master suite in a beach theme. I actually bought a similar painting on ebay that was a paint-by-number, framed it and hung it in my bathroom. So, not only did I get my beloved beach theme, but also appealed to my love of paint-by-number art. Thanks for additional inspiration.
Such beautiful images. My Gran used to paint beautiful beach/coastal paintings. Your painting instantly made me think of my Gran... it looks like one of her paintings... does it have a name on it by chance? Thanks for your kind wishes over at 'my place'. Up and about and visiting all my blog friends this morning. Created a monster, can't even survive 3 days away! A-M xx
A-M - The name on the bottom looks to read Bon (with an accent over the N) Dawson. I can't find any information on the internet. Do you have any of your Gran's paintings still? I'd love to see pics sometime.
Anna :)
Julia you know I'm busting to see pics of your home after you redecorate. Don't forget!
Anna ;)
What a FUn post and great spread Anna! There's always something so charming about a seaside cottage and the images you chose are wonderful!
