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!
Such cute ideas- I LOVE the box. I have an obsession with boxes so this might have to be my new box project!
the beach, eh … not fair
Great projects Eddie, have fun at the beach!
So good! Love all of these.

Hmmm … I think this nylon rope technique would work well on a console table that I’ve been meaning to refinish.
I could drop anchor in that room!
have fun at the beach-

Such inspiring ideas. We adore the lamp. Hope you guys have a relaxing visit to the beach. Don’t forget the sunscreen!
Oops better pick another weekend…I think
Irene means business.
Awesomeness!! Love the message board in particular! Have fun in the sun:) Hope you don’t end up in a hurricane.
Seriously, how do you come up with these endless and creative ideas? Do you ever have the equivilent of “writers block?”. Love that lamp! Hope whatever shore you are at isnt getting hit by Irene! Be well.
Enjoy your beach getaway!
I want to go to the beach. Didn’t make it this Summer.
Have a great weekend Eddie and Jaithan!! Great projects …I adore the lamp!!

I hope you are not headed anywhere that Hurricane Irene will be paying a visit! Have a great weekend! xoxo!
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.
Love the rope trim on the pillows…have a great time at the beach!!
These are gorgeous! Loving that beautiful lamp. Enjoy the glorious day, Kellie xx
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..
I am going to subscribe to Women’s Day just to follow you and your wonderful ideas. Keep up the good eye.
Thank you,
