After nearly a decade stuck in the marsh in Somers Point, the 17 foot boat is finally on the roadway, thanks to the work of volunteers.
R.L. Coastal Concepts owners Steve and Rachel Bachman, Mayor Jay Gillian, Councilman Pete Madden (and daughter Avery, 7) and Ocean City Regional Chamber of Commerce President Bill McMahon officially open the new home decor center.
A new shop featuring vintage beach decor and custom hand-painted furniture is open at 1228 Asbury Avenue.
A small showroom features samples of Coastal Concepts' home decor.
R.L. Coastal Concepts celebrated its opening with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting on Wednesday afternoon.
The renovated Asbury Avenue location features a studio where co-owner Rachel Bachman can work on custom painting.
"I like reclaimed items," Bachman said.
The shop, for instance, salvaged a
World War II shipping crate and repurposed it as a coffee table.
Bachman's custom work (by appointment) includes: Beach scenes, nautical themes, refinishing, distressing and antiquing, faux finishing.
A small showroom features Bachman's works as well as other coastally inspired home decor and furnishings.
Bachman said she hopes to run painting classes in the fall at the studio.
