Are you getting too serious with your home decor? That’s an honest question. I know I’m guilty of being too serious… of working too hard at getting just the right furniture, window treatments, colors, style, texture, and art for our homes. It’s pretty serious business just choosing the “right” paint color. Today I’m […]

And recreated a dark basement bedroom into a Bright Nautical Teen Bedroom. I thought it would be fun to make some decorative buoys – which seem SO...Read the Post

Castle Hill Lighthouse Newport, Rhode Island Castle Hill Lighthouse is from an original watercolor painting on a nautical chart by William B. MacGregor Jr., who is known in the New England area as the Junkyard Artist. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Castle Hill Lighthouse is a navigational aid for ship traffic between Newport and Providence via the East Passage of Narragansett Bay and is located at the end of the historic Ocean Drive in Newport. Castle Hill Lighthouse was built in 1890 handsomely right into a cliff face. The keeper's house was built, and still stands, near Castle Hill Cove, a few hundred feet away. The tower stands about 34 feet high and currently shows a red light every 30 seconds. Just two days before Germany’s surrender, the lighthouse keeper witnessed the torpedoing of the SS Black Point, which was the last U-Boat victim of WW2. The good news is the German U-Boat U-853 was depth charged and sunk. Although, the lighthouse is not open to the public, the shoreline and cliff face where the lighthouse sits are accessible by several footpaths from the Castle Hill Inn and the Castle Hill Cove Marina. Castle Hill Lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------        Castle Hill Lighthouse, Newport, Rhode Island.        Free shipping (USA only) Art Print        Art print is printed on fine art/photo rag paper.        Mounted in a beveled double mat.        Matted Art Print is ready for a standard 8”x10”, 11”x14” or 16”x20” frame.        Mat will be signed by the artist.        Note: Mat size is the outside dimension.

MacGregor, Jr. was born in Medfield, MA, the son and grandson of Norfolk Hunt Club kennel masters. Many of his family members were self-taught artists, woodcarvers, automobile mechanics and veterans of foreign wars including his father a WW1 US Army veteran. Bill is a graduate of Medfield High School, Wentworth Institute, and Northeastern University. His engineering career, from which he is now retired, included working for military and aerospace companies in industrial engineering and IR optics. His painting incorporates “old skool” mechanical and civil drafting tools and he uses a mixed medium of watercolors, acrylics and inks. Two rabbits are often in quite a few of his paintings. Look for them. He is frequently commissioned by United States Naval officers to create paintings of their ships and aircraft carriers on nautical charts. In May,2018, and for one year, four of Bill’s automotive related paintings were on display at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, MA

Custom buoy and block sets! Coordinated colors create lovely sets that can be displayed together or separated throughout your room or home.

We can discuss in convo and I can help you decide on colors. This listing is for color blocks and stripes only. Antique finish added. These buoys may look simple but they take many different steps to create. No two are exactly alike and the wood has so many different textures. I love creating these buoys and blocks, they always turn out with an interesting finish. I never know exactly how it will look in the end! The tall Buoy measures approximately 4 in. square and 11 in. tall. The short buoy is 8 in. tall and the mermaid block is approximately 4 inches square. Use as an accent in table arrangements or on a shelf. NOTE: The wood can be pressure treated lumber or reclaimed lumber. Some will have cracks in them which is inherent with the type of lumber used. This adds to the vintage appeal and does not mean it is weak and will break. They are cut by hand using scrap lumber, when available, so no two are exactly alike. They are all measured out at 11 inches high. Indoor or covered patio best for long life of finish. No additional charge for Custom colors, check out the color chart in the images for ideas. Please provide custom order details at checkout. Let's also discuss in convo. Let’s connect!
