We're heading out of town for the weekend but will be back bright and early on Monday. In the meantime, here's a fleet of nautical-inspired accessories I created for Woman's Day that will keep your home looking shipshape.
I made the lamp by wrapping bright white nylon around the base, while pillows I trimmed with clothesline from Lowe's.
Here's a quick video on how to make the trim!
This French-styled memo board I made with sisal rope and Homasote, a recycled fiberboard that's perfect for pinning up keepsakes. Click here for instructions.
Finally, this sailor knot trinket box helps keep desktop cargo at bay.
Happy crafting, mateys!
I just painted my new office navy, have a white lacquer desk and am DYING to find the right bulletin board- Eddie this one is fantastic and just love that it is handmade...oh, the sisal-spin = brilliant.

fun and inspiring, love the pillow trim and memo board ..great ideas for that seaside look and a nice way to hold onto summer..it's fading fast here in the North Country so anything that is reminiscent of summer gets high marks in my book..

These are so knoty, yet nice! Perfect timing, I am helping my son organize his bedroom, the sisal bulletin board may be perfect! Enjoy the beach.

Hmmm ... I think this nylon rope technique would work well on a console table that I've been meaning to refinish.
