Sea Worthy Accessories

Looking for nautical-themed accessories for your cottage or lake-front home? Here are a couple picks to make your home sea worthy. The Glass Octopus by Plantation Home comes in five different colors, this blue-black inky hued specimen is hand-sculpted by a US artisan.

 This Limited Edition glamorous designer pillow is hand made using genuine natural sea fan flash etch burned made of hand dyed silk and velvet. The Sea Fan Pillow is in ombre and kohl.

For the dining room, here is a great ensemble by Ralph Lauren Home from their Spring ’09 Black Sands Collection. The woven placemat and boat cleat napkin ring are very fun.

Other ideas? Coral themed invitations for dinner parties, or if you are going all out and using the summer getaway for a wedding reception.  

More thoughts:

Find faux red coral and display them in your unused fireplace.

Install nickel plated boat cleats for curtain tiebacks.

Lay down seagrass or sisal carpet.

*Most of all enjoy- this season of sun does not last too much longer up north.
