All things nautical

I have always loved nautical themes. On some sunny days I just get in the mood to dress nautically. Stripes, splashes of red and natural leather are the best ways to achieve the look. Lately however, I’ve also fallen in love with nautical themed decor. I wouldn’t dare implement it in my home however, except in a little boys room or if I ever get to decorate a seaside home. My favorite style element is the porthole.
I don’t know what it is about the style that just attracts me. It could be the connection i subconsciously make with my childhood memories of fishing with grandpa. Or its just the fact that it makes me feel like I'm at the sea,or better even,on a yacht.image

La Vecchia Marina are the masters of the nautical style. I passed by their stand in the furniture fair last year in Milan and immediately fell in love. Portholes and louvers everywhere. Just a stroll through the stand immediately puts you in the yacht-y marine feeling.
