Show me the Ropes -or should I say Lines

Nautical RopeAvailable @ Art.com

There has always been rope on boats..., referred to as lines by boating experts. It's another way of bringing a bit of nautical ambiance to your home decor (as always please click on images for more information and/or purchase).

Hi there..
I actually made those candle holders a long time ago! It's so funny how things come and go! I think the idea was somewhere in a Martha Stewart book or magazine!! I love all the rope projects! So beachy and so simple!

What a sexy pillow! I love it!
Ooo and that rope mat!

Tina said...

That rope mat is wonderful! and the nesting tables inspired a project. Thanks for the inspiration.

I love the rope votives. So cute!

You have given me an idea for some very plain and boring glass wear I have, but never use as glasses but rather i shove candles in them. I am going to turn them into some very nice little laterns using some thin rope or thick string.
Thanks for that, much love
