Making Waves

While working on a design project in New England at a large Beach Home in Rhode Island with four Children, I have been thinking all thing Nautical. The project has ocean views and lots of white bead board. A kids bedroom is always fun to design when working with beach house decor. I love this Child's boat bed with storage and pier tables. The painted floor is also a great idea, giving it the look and feel of water and at the same time it is good for the never ever sand kids bring in. For you DIY readers the boat bed were made with white bead-board panels and then the team treated all the woodwork to a boat finish. Floors were varnished or painted in high gloss.

One Foot In Sea And One On Shore

A guest bedroom at the beach can take on many looks. What I like about this Sea Inspired bed room is it's unisex appeal. The subtle blue walls, mixed with a chocolate brown duvet, and chestnut desk. The draperies and duvet are custom made and matching. I love the pale blue and brown patten that is easy on the female eye or males. The plaid rug adds a bit of a masculine mix, but then the eye meets the table lamp with the polka dotted shade. The artistic wall print collection of five wide and three deep framed Sea Shell prints give the room a calming affects of the Sea. The room gives off a very welcoming luxury feel to any house guest. The small touches of luxury monogrammed sheets, the Lalique table lamp, and fine vase filled with fresh flowers make one wonder if a guest would want to leave.
