:: Gorgeous free vintage prints for beach house decorating ::
A few years back, I started an interior design & home decorating series of fun summer beach cottage crafts tutorials to help you create a beach cottage styled home, many miles from the beach. To rekindle this series, I thought to give you an update of free vintage images of the most exquisite prints of fish, water plants and a great variety of shells. These are all beach designs to use in summer crafts for your beach cottage. Give an entire room a vintage natural beach styling makeover, decoupage serving trays, frame wall art and create a set of a beach cottage desk accessories or bathroom accessories.
What other wonderful features you like to add to your beach home décor? I’d like to know how you intend to use these free vintage prints.
Free Vintage Images of Fish, Seashells, Water plants for Your Beach House Decor
These stunning vintage images of seashells, sea plants and fish are free clipart. Actually, I don’t like that word ‘clipart’. I rather call them beautiful beach prints for you to download and use in your craft projects.
For the easiest craft of all, simply print and frame them and hang them in a grouping. Simply beach and simply beautiful. In fact, I recommend it.

Decoupage with Vintage Images
If you want to craft a bit more, print an additional set of these vintage images for your decoupage decoration projects. Vintage images are perfect for decoupage. At least three of them you can hand color as well, to suit your particular decor color scheme. You’ll find that, again, with just little effort, you’ll have great result.
