nautical home decor living room

hi, i'm ann myrick, and today i'm going totalk to you about decorating with a cape cod feel or style. when you think of cape cod,of course, nantucket, water, very soft, over-stuffed - a lot of white furniture, natural floors.being on the water, you want sometimes pieces of the nautical theme; shells, fish. one ofthe things, though, that i will always tell a client to be really careful about, is ifyou do a certain theme in your house or a style, sometimes if there's just repetitiousof the same things over and over it will become very boring. and so, i would say that whatyou want to be careful about - the cape cod style is just in one room - maybe have theshells and have some of the nautical. but then in another room, get away from that andjust make it soft, and over-stuffed with great

blues and greens and colors, but not necessarilythe same accessories that you used in the other room. overstuffed, checked, floral aregreat fabrics to use for the nautical - white furniture, natural woods, woven. these pillowsare great as an example that can go on anything and they'd be great just adding texture andjust a whole woven look. baskets, putting magazines in baskets instead of plastic ormetal. so have fun with it, see what you have around the house, and just try to make itinteresting. this is ann myrick, and that's how you decorate with a cape cod style.
