I had mentioned in a previous post here that I have a natural affinity to anything coastal or nautical. My love for the nautical theme is not limited to apparel but extends over to home decor as well. Like most homes with young children, my basement currently looks like a cluttered toy store with stuffed animals strewn about, Barbie dolls missing a shoe or two, and a myriad of Lego pieces scattered across the carpet. Amid the clutter, you can see hints of my unfinished attempt at a beach cottage “retreat”. We recently had a couple of relatives visiting, and having to get the basement ready for their stay rekindled my desire to finish my coastal themed decor project. I don’t want to overdo it but there are still a few things that I’d like to add. So, as always, I had to do some inspiration seeking on Pinterest and several other sites to find my favorite nautical themed goodies. I thought I’d share a few with you.
