You all know that we love everything about the water so it was important to bring that to life in the new home as well. Nautical decor should be both welcoming and vibrant. Nautical bathroom decor should provide the peace and serenity one feels when they are spending time by the ocean, the lake, or poolside. It's like creating a paradise within the home. Nautical-themed decor has become really popular over the last few decades and continues to show up in decor styles across the world.
You may have heard us talk about the new house Ashley recently built. She wanted to bring her family's love for lake life into a room or two. One such room is the boys' nautical bathroom! Her two youngest boys, Chaz & Crew, have a Jack & Jill style bathroom and it was so much fun designing it. We brought in some nautical touches with anchors, oars, rope, and sunshine to accent the traditional color palette for a nautical theme, which are blues & whites.
We love the detail that each element brings to this ocean-inspired look. One of our favorite excursions on the lake is to take a pontoon ride at sunset, which made this amazing sunshine over the waves shower curtain the perfect solution for our lake-style bathroom. As you know the art of ropework and nautical knots is an important element in the nautical world so we love that the hand towel holder brought a rope textural dimension.
Isn't it amazing that the same God who created the mountains, and oceans, and galaxies, looked at you and thought the world needed one of you too.

We purchased a beautiful watercolor sign from @awakeyoursoulwatercolor (find them on Instagram) or at www.AwakeYourSoulWatercolor.com. This sign utilizes the watercolor paint to represent the waves of the ocean and the saying reminds them that the very same God who created the mountains, oceans, and galaxies created each of them. Isn't it amazing? We are so blessed with each of these boys and can't imagine the world without them. There are so many days on earth that we need to be reminded of this very truth; we want them to remember this forever.
We will update you with the finished pics once it's done but currently, the pieces are just starting to come together and it's going to look amazing! We can't wait to show you the finished product! They've moved in and are putting the finishing touches on everything. We ended up painting the shower/toilet room in SW Naval (SW6244) and the sink rooms in the SW On the Rocks Grey (SW7671). It looks SOOOO good! We can't wait to share it once we get things decorated. Target completion: FEBRUARY 2022
Anchor down friends,
