My husband has always fashioned himself to be a boatin’, sea lovin’, nautical type, even though we never actually ever owned a boat before, however we have walked down countless marina docks over the years under the pretense that we were boat owners (does that count?). About a month ago, I found the little beauty above for a major steal, so I snapped it up for him in honor of our 17th wedding anniversary!
She’s a cool little vintage ’75 Oday sailboat and she’s still got plenty of life in her! All she needed was a little spit and polish to cozy her up a bit. So here’s what I did….
Inspirations:
Vintage Sailor and Siren, Octopus, turquoise, red stripe, blue, green
Carpe diem pillows clearance section Hobby Lobby-$6
Random pillows from clearance section Hobby Lobby-$6
Fabric-Hobby Lobby
Turquoise mirror Hobby Lobby -$19.99
I found an octopus image online and printed it off on transfer paper. I heat pressed it on the red striped fabric.
Who doesn’t love cold beer?
Got this great turquoise softy guy blanket for $14.99 from Tuesday Morning for those cold fall sails!
Nautical looking basket that I got at Tuesday Morning for 7 bucks and the (H) from Hobby Lobby for a couple of bucks. Hot glued it on, instant cell phone, keys, misc basket for the counter.
Mermaid hook from Hobby Lobby
Myself and the hubs on our maiden voyage!
We don’t yet have a name for the ‘ole gal yet, any suggestions?
