Indulge Me This Nautical

shinysquirrel.typepad.com

Nautical feel, cottage vibes, industrial spaces, colorful BoHo..decorating styles for anyone. I seem to lean toward the nautical interior because, besides living surrounded by water, I like the crisp, fresh and relaxed attitude it portrays

I sold the black wrought iron anchor hooks in the shop! Love the way they are used, here in the entry, hung individually instead of being mounted on a board.

Nautical decor is derived from the light off the water. There are so many blues reflected, from sandy blue to turquoise underlined in navy blue. White blue, light blue and sandy waves of blues!

Water horizons are as wide as they are tall with the ever moving surf and waves. The colors are are soft and iridescent, natural hues and lots of clear glass.

Ha ha! Closed the door on that subject!!

None of these photos are from the same home and yet they all work together. Pulling the waterside theme from room to room. Amazing where our inspirations can involve from. 

Inspirations

Pat (AKA-Kim) Merchant

It is getting to be that time of year where my thoughts wander south. The inter-coastal tides and marshes along the Atlantic seaboard. Shore birds and Night Blooming Jasmine reflected on the wet sand in the evening light.

Looking for a house that needs some work. A small structure with interesting architectural detail to play with.

The fragrance of Peach Cobbler coming from the kitchen.

The sandy linen chair, in the middle, to place around the dinning table lit with long tapers in crystal hurricanes. 

One Kings Lane

A pair of these chairs at either end, of the table, for comfortable lounging, over coffee, after dinner.

If you are going to have signage in the home using a Greek key boarder knocks it up a notch. 

Barrier Island territory along the South Carolina sea coast is calling my name. The light is beautiful this time of year. 

Monday morning musings. 

Not Crazy About My Photo Manager

Haven't figured out the cropping system. I do think that the graphics of the nautical signal flags are good! Love that Ben Zaricor.  

Mad Cap Cottage wallpaper swatches came into the shop this week. Still working on getting the fabric swatch book from Robert Allen. At this time the books are all sold out.

Taylor Linens dropped off deep ruffled shams and Shore Rose duvet today. Pretty feminine. 

Set this tree up and decorated it with humongous gold finials that sold in five minuets. Luckily I had some dried Hydrangeas that I nestled in between the branches. 

This picture editing is going to take more practice.

Have a great weekend in the Peninsula, the sun is shinning and the colors on the trees are beautiful.

Playing With The New Computer

Fall display in front of Anchor Cottage. The photo editing file is much different than the picture manager I was use to. 

Snuggs sixty second birthday today. Isn't he handsome.

Working on cropping, color and clarity. A customer helped me down load the wireless printer! All this advanced technology, to keep up with the times, is hard on this old lady!
