Seaside updates and a local artist...

We’ve been pretty busy working on our little store, Seaside, at 1902 S. MacDill Avenue, here in South Tampa and we should be open soon. September is our month and things are moving along nicely…we’ve hung chandeliers, finished painting and repairs, shopped for new and exciting home accessories, coastal pillows, seaside jewelry, and our newest category of beautiful coastal furniture…some of which has arrived…and more of which we are expecting over the next couple of weeks. We’ll update you more on this, as our new pieces arrive…I think this is the most exciting part.

We’ve also been working with a local artist, Heather Kendall, in our little sea shell world. Heather and her inspiring team, custom design works of art for your home, which are reflective of life by the sea. She creates absolutely stunning shell chandeliers, shell mirrors, and decorative home accents. We’ve asked Heather to design a few things for our store…and we are so excited to present them to you. Here is one of our newest items, which will be for sale here at Seaside…



Heather is an unbelievably imaginative individual…who not only has fun with her work, she is extremely conscientious of the environment in bringing nature’s beauty into your home. Did I mention what a beautiful person she is on the inside, as well? All while balancing three growing boys…she’s amazing!

Her works of art are noted in homes literally across the country and her mirrors are a masterpiece of artistic inspiration and dramatic elegance. Several designers around the country regularly use her designs in their projects and I can tell you from seeing her work in person, Heather’s designs are fabulous!

Take a look at this fabulous chandelier she created for us at Seaside. Of course, it is for sale, and it is more stunning in person than we can show through these pictures. I am in love with the soft colors which bring its beautiful sea life into the room. We are so excited for you to come by and see some of her work. You can contact us, as well, about special pieces to be commissioned for your home.
