Spare Room with a Nautical Flair
I grew in a house just a few miles from majestic Lake Huron, a body of water that always seemed endless when I gazed out upon it from the safety of shore. As soon as I was old enough, I bought a Sunfish sailboat and explored the nearby islands and coves. Then came college and a job that took me and my family far from the lake. As happy as I was, I missed hearing the waves at night and enjoying its constant, pacific presence.
In order to assuage my longings for the lake, I chose to decorate our spare room with nautical home decor. I actually found the centerpiece of the room at an estate sale. It’s an enormous oil painting depicting a tall ship leaving harbor, and it takes up nearly the entire wall. Around that foundation, I placed several tasteful model ships and decorative lighthouse plates that I found online. To be honest, the house really feels like home.
