| A vintage ships pennant flag "second substitute" |
The concept for this third story bedroom began with a single item- a replica merchant sign titled "SAIL LOFT- 1879- CAPE COD." The sign was the inspiration behind this recently created nautical themed bedroom using a vintage ships pennant flag as a focal point on the center wall above blue and white striped pillows on the bed.

Like many successfully designed rooms, the direction is developed around a specific theme. This corner of the bedroom adorns the "SAIL LOFT" sign above a 19th century New England pine sea chest with custom made
wood buoy lamp made from a used buoy from Nova Scotia together with a collection of nautical themed books, an early 20th century painted tin starboard boat light and an antique sailboat winch mounted on to a round wooden base.
