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

Brilliant... pond yachts, striped shirts, how can you go wrong? I'm with you on wanting to learn to sail... I tend to take ground too easily.
I'm also dying to put a porthole light above my shower as my uncle (a true sailor) has done. But I don't think it'll go with the orientalism theme.
that porthole idea is great EEL, maybe it will work somewhere else :)

Those andirons are fantastic. Real show stoppers!
I love this motif for clothes, it is so hard to do it right in the home, I feel like to could look like a yuppy clothing store to easily, like Riches in the mid 90's, but I know that if you do it, it will be perfect.
I know I love those andirons too Jennifer!!

Hi - love this - makes me crazy for summer and the beach! can't wait!!!
I love nautical clothes! Seeing this makes me want to sign up for sailing lessons too!
Nautical Bling, as I so fondly like to refer to i, has made an amazing comeback in both the worlds of fashion and design. I will definitely be rocking my anchor medallion, striped sailor shirt and white soled shoes this summer but in terms of my interior I am sticking with less is more.
I love crisp navy-and-white, love the round mirrors you found too. Great post.
I know, me too Joni!!

I stocked up on some spring/summer pieces with nautical flavour when I was in Miami and it was so hard to not buy everything in sight and go "overboard"
I especially loved Juicy's sailor-themed collection
Great collection, Kate! Love the Columbia Sailboat model and those wonderful Andirons!
Love your comment Jessica!! Thanks for stopping by :)
