Designers who Take the Surfboard Inside

beautiful surfboards
I think a beautiful surfboard can give a room a great beachy feel (via Tim Clark).

Designer Brooke Giannetti finds the perfect corner in her newly remodeled living room.

Surfboard Table
And Annie Selke was given three keywords -sea, sand, and sky- to design this Chatham, MA, beach house. The result, an eclectic home bathed in blues that includes a Surfboard Table.

Beach Boys Surfin
And how could I not think of The Beach Boys while writing this post. "If everybody had an ocean across the USA, then everybody be surfin'..., surfin' USA..."

Ooh I LOVE this post. I don't surf, but hope to one day. In an ocean that is guaranteed to be shark-free. That's my fear of surfing: sharks. Ugh. But I love surfboards in houses - we have a couple in my parents beach house and they're so cool. I love that room in Chatham - I went there a couple of years ago! Such a cool town!

What a perfect accent for any beach house. Takes me back to my youth, but my mother would never have let us bring boards in the house. We brought in enough sand ourselves!

Oh, I love this. Have always wanted to add a surfboard to our home decor but my hubby won't let me take his boards out of their bags! Our ring bearer in our wedding carried a woody with surfboards and the rings on top of the board.
