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.
