cabin fever

Nautical decor is hot right now!  A little late since I decorated our cottage on the ocean 2 years ago!  Here is a little sample of what we did!

Since our cottage has been around since the mid 60's there are all sort of treasures here!

Now we've gone all out with the nautical theme.  Its just a summer home and we are immersed in the cottage lifestyle while we are here.  But why not bring a bit of nautical to the city?  I think every room could have a reminder of the sea.  It could be just a subtle detail; like a rope detail? or a touch of nautical stripes?

one.  two.  three.  four.  five.  six.  seven.  eight.  nine.  ten.  eleven.  twelve.

Nautical style has also shown up in the latest fashion trends.

Adding a bit of nautical to your life just helps you feel like you are on vacation!  Wherever you spend your vacation time this summer, I hope you thoroughly have enjoyed it.  In Vancouver, BC we have had a record breaking summer for some of the most beautiful weather ever!  I am so grateful.
