The drift wood on top got some clear adhesive on it, and got sand thrown on it, for that fresh beachcombed look. Those are the loving details I appreciate! The only concept cooler than that was O.A.'s "Nautical sea life" version, in a non-matte bottle: The only examples of this cool concept I have seen in situ were at the Royal Hawaiian in Laguna Beach, now gone.
