Rustic Salty Nautical Decor Ideas

A few of salty nautical decor items I came across recently.

 A big spool of rope works as a side table.

A crusty anchor with shackle and chain for the garden.

An old oar with a whitewashed make over, great above a window.

Find a small wood dingy hang from ceiling and add some lights for a cool chandelier.

Nautical Home Decor - Ikea Summer 2014

 Hello everyone, it has been a very long time since I posted and in fact even longer posting more consistently.  I hope this finds you all healthy and well.  I am very rusty with blogging, so here goes.

This year Ikea adds some fun nautical theme designs in their summer 2014 catalog.

A simple stripe of latitude and longitude on bedding.  A matching elongated throw pillow which I really like is below.

Maybe a rope theme is more your style.

This a lightweight comforter.  Too bad it is not a duvet cover.

Photographic rope pillows would be great for a covered porch wouldn't they?

If you are feeling crafty, you can purchase some of this rope fabric and make your own pillows and table runners.

Fun buoy shaped pillow for your ship's staterooms.

Wipe off some sandy feet on one of these small throw rugs.

Turn almost any table into weathered wood one with this tablecloth. 

 Nautical placemats.

Hand towels for sticky hands.

Head to the beach with this navy blue beach towel and for fun bring along a fish pillow (below).

Display your beach finds in this wide mouth glass container.

Dine under the stars on a summer night with a strand of star shaped lights.

Till next time....

Mystic Knotwork. A Family Tradition of Sailor Bracelets

Mystic Knotwork has a long standing family tradition of making decorative knots.  Located in Norwich, CT, close to the famed Mystic Seaport, Matt Beaudoin and, his wife Jill craft sailor bracelets and other nautical knot items.

They craft them one at a time just like the sailors of a hundred years ago.  There isn't any high tech machinery cutting or braiding the cord going on at Mystic Knotwork and, the cord is used in made in America. Love that!

In fact, to borrow Matt's words they believe in staying behind the times to maintain the authenticity of their products.

What Matt and Jill have done is added color! 

This orange one is so fun.

The rope trivet looks great on your table.

Mini monkey fist ornaments!

Wouldn't these be great mixed with some shells set up garland style?

How about a key chain?
Makes a nifty little holiday stocking stuffer or wedding favor.
 

Go on step back in time and treat yourself to one Mystic Knotwork's classic bracelets, mats or monkey fist goodies.
