Seashell Stepping Stone, Too Pretty For The Garden By Bosoxy on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
While shopping at the Cape Cod Factory Outlet I came across this beautiful stepping stone that I just had to buy! Although I wasn't sure exactly how I was going to use it, it just really fit into what I was trying to do with my home… and although I would have liked to pick up several of them I was trying to stay on a decorating budget, so I bought one.
The stepping stone is made of resin. The stone itself is circular and edged in a braided rope design. In the center of the stone is a raised clam shell, detailed with ridges and a nice realistic coloring. The seashell appears to be lying in the sand and is surrounded by other shells, a couple of star fish and a sand dollar.
The entire design looked more like art than a garden paving stone… and as it turned out that is exactly what it ended up being.
Believe it or not I hung this stone up on my bathroom wall.
It looks right at home on my bathroom wall and fits in perfectly with the décor that I selected for that room… so as it turned out although I wanted a half dozen of these, one was all I really needed.
Although I purchased this stone nearly 10 years ago, it has hung on the wall almost the entire time so I cannot rate it for weather resistance or skid resistance. Since the stone is resin and has many raised parts I am thinking that it may be slippery when wet. The color looks like it is actually in the resin other than being painted onto it, so I would think that it would weather well outside.

I loved this stepping stone Bosoxy. But even more, I love what you did with it. What a creative idea! Because it is resin, I'd tend to think you are right about it possibly being slippery.
I love beachy things! This would be perfect in our side bed--no walking there--as a decoration. We don't have a Cape Cod Factory Outlet. I wonder if they have a website...I'll have to check on that.
I love this kiddo! I think it is great that you ended up putting it in your bathroom!
That is a really unique steping stone. Love It!
Lovely shells there, yup agree with you that they are too pretty and too good as stepping stones. I have fallen in love with them just by looking at those pictures.
This is so beautiful and I agree I would rather hang this than walk on it. Thanks
Very unique way to use this beautiful stepping stone. I have never thought about hanging one on the way. However they make them so pretty now it is unusual to walk on such pretty work.
I love to use the decorative stepping stones this way also!
What a nice way to show this off. I wouldn't want people to be stepping on this beautiful shell either.
