nautical clockI recently visited a friend of mine in Florida. She has a beautiful 4 bedroom home right off the water where she can enjoy the sound of the ocean day in and day out.

Her home is lovely, with each room decorated in its own unique style. One room in particular that I really liked, but would never think of decorating myself, is the room that the family uses as their office. It sits on the back side of the house facing the beach and the ocean beyond. The window is propped open most of the time so you can hear the sound of the waves crashing, the seagulls in the air, and smell the salty ocean breeze.

The décor of the room is a boating and nautical theme. It was tastefully done and she had beautiful items that looked very expensive. One of the items that really caught my attention was an old mahogany nautical clock. She had other accents that really added a nice touch to the room, like a nautical lamp that was sitting on the mahogany computer desk; a really neat touch was the guest book for those who visited her home. Typically these are used to log boating visitors, but she had thought of a clever way to incorporate it into her office and it was a unique way to keep the memory of her guests.

My trip to her house really got me thinking about using a nautical them in a bathroom or another room in my house. I started looking at products online and came across a few sites that have boating items and nautical gifts and accessories that I really liked. I’m going to start by looking for the perfect shade of blue paint for the walls and then start ordering items for the décor.

I am also going to thank her for not only opening up her home to me during my visit, but also for inspiring me to decorate my guest bathroom with a lovely piece of nautical jewelry I discovered online. It’s a perfect way to say thanks!
