Nautical Tabletop Decor -Create the Look with Coastal Living

The November issue of Coastal Living has arrived, and I have kitchen on my mind. Or let's say with my new kitchen well on its way to completion, I enjoyed the coastal theme Kitchen Essentials, and I'm also very much looking forward to cook up some nice meals...


... which brings me to Tabletop Decor. In this issue Coastal Living features three beach inspired looks for a holiday table, and I'm in love with look #3. It's a vintage maritime table setting that was inspired by the colors found in old nautical charts. And the place mats are pieces of an actual nautical Long Island Sound chart, cut out with craft scissors to get a deckle edge. Another clever idea, embroidered napkins with the coordinates of a coastal town. The center piece is a group of antique wicker bottles and wicker wine bottle holders filled with magnolia branches. And I adore the little cast iron anchors and the flatware with the Rope Design is a very nice touch. Check out the candle holders, they're wrapped with twine and tie right in with the nautical rope theme. So many great ideas..., and now it's time for me to start planning some meals!
