The Beach House Series

Beachcombing For A Shell Valance

Beachcombing for a shell valance. Rippled sand dotted with large clam shells

A shell valance begins by a favorite pastime of many Cape Cod beach lovers.  Exploring the beach at low tide exposes miles of sand and shells

Sandy Neck large clam shell on Cape Cod. Made into shell valance window treatments for a Yarmouth, MA beach house. Window Designs Etc. by Marie Mouradian www.windowdesignsetc.comI find hundreds of large clam or quahog shells along the beaches of Cape Cod Bay. Being a firm believer inspiration is everywhere, using these, somehow, to create an uber custom window treatment for a beach house.

Beach to the Window

Hardware

I come up with the design, now to make it happen.  Design ideas come easily to me, engineering them is where my innovative husband comes in. (We really do make a great team).  We go to our favorite Holden, MA hardware store, Jed’s, to get some hardware. I love the catalog of orderly sliding boxes that hold all of the hardware “stuff”.

Materials for shell window treatments. Shells and hardware. Window Designs Etc. by Marie Mouradian www.windowdesignsetc.comThis is what we bought.  I had the decorative brass posts in my own stash of parts.  All of the metal gets white paint, the shells stay natural. Super heavy adhesive putty attach the shells to the hardware.
