Last nautical post... I promise.

I wasn't actually going to do another nautical post, however, my Good Homes July issue came in today and everything was seaside inspired.  Maybe I'm psychic...

Anyway, here's a really pristine looking dining room [taken from costalliving.com]























I think that the only thing that makes it look really nautical are the oars in the corner [but what a great way to add interest and height to the space].  It's very chic, without being pretentious.  Simple and clean.  Understated.  Amazing.  To be honest,  I would probably hit up the antique shops or flea markets for most of this stuff, but for the chain store versions, see below for where to buy.
