yeah, I think we should, it's just a great casual look...

Well, it's about that time of year, when I start thinking "I'd really like to sign up for sailing lessons this summer, better get on that list"...but I probably won't even sign up, because I say that every year and haven't yet, so I'll get nautical in another way, through home decor...



start small with some nautical inspired accents, like these window shades that Suzanne Kasler designed...



and maybe get this Columbia Sailboat model instead of a life-size one, which would go great in a Study...


what about a nautical pillow from Pierre Frey"Oceane" collection...

and if I needed a doorstop, this would be the one I'd get...
I just love these Nautical Andirons from Gustavo Olivieri...


and this fun "round tire" mirror from Chapman Radcliff...


Of course another William Sonoma Home find, these rope pillows are great...


A lantern with an modern twist, this if from Ralph Lauren Home...

Iomoi has great custom lucite trays, like this "anchor navy" one here...


and reader/blogger Easy and Elegant Life mentioned her love for port holes in a comment, so I just had to add these ones from Cottage Home Maine...
