Our Design Process

The creation of the shell frame begins and ends with us. This way, we are able to assure that the quality of each element of the design is of the highest standard. All of our custom mirror frames are made from quality wood and built to the dimensions decided. Then, the frame is routered to create an inlay for the glass mirror to be placed and installed with industrial adhesive.

Not all glass mirrors are created equal! We work with an excellent local glass and mirror vendor that has earned our trust over the years! We use the best quality, quarter inch glass mirrors, which are custom cut to the perfect size for each project. 

All mirrors will arrive with mounting hardware pre-installed for you. You'll receive the wall bracket to be stud-mounted where you will be hanging it. Instructions are included, but if you have any questions we're always available to help!

This part is entirely up to you- Any size is possible! Feel free to send measurements and/or pictures of your space and we can work together on what sizing options would work best for you. Keep in mind that the width of the frame itself s also customizable (the space for shells). If you would like a wider area of seashells, more densely arranged shells, or larger shells for a bolder luxury statement shell mirror, we can surely do that! 

The color scheme, type of shells, and accents are also yours for the taking. You can have as much or as little to do with the creation of your frame as you'd like. Popular shell color choices include a beachy cream and white shell combination. Some clients will send pictures of the space that the piece will be going in, or pictures of other decor. Please feel free to do this! We work together to create a beautiful piece of functional art that you will admire forever. 

Other options in regard to accents that you'll see in some of our shell designs include pearls, sea glass, starfish, white sand dollars, and sea urchins which can come naturally in light pink, purple, or light green varieties. This list is surely not all-inclusive, and I am always open to explore clients ideas of sea life.

The options are truly endless, and with custom shell mirrors- all entirely up to you! Let's bring the immeasurable beauty of the ocean into your home for you and your ohana (and guests) to cherish forever!
