Tricia Rose is an artisan through and through. Not only is she the creator of a line of Natural Linens and Coastal Cushions but she also made herself a driftwood home.
Well, not literally. With driftwood home I mean that her sweet little cabin built out over the water in San Rafael (CA) is outfitted with driftwood pieces and driftwood furniture made from branches and logs brought home from beach walks.
Here a driftwood piece is part of a seashell display and used as wall art.
This piece, used as a knot board, is the only burnt driftwood that Tricia found so far, retrieved from a bonfire on the beach.
And the driftwood bed headboard, Tricia says, had been gestating for ages when she finally dragged out the chop saw and nail gun.
"I am struck by how often I am transfixed by some piece of wood on my walk, drag it home and find it fits exactly in a worrisome space in one of my oeuvres. Yesterday I gathered a little stick only six inches long, which slotted into my headboard as if custom crafted."
A huge handmade driftwood mirror hangs in the dining room.
Tricia wanted her cabin to look as though an old sea captain had finally come ashore, and pulled his home together out of what was to hand.
In one of the bathrooms you find a hefty driftwood beam above the shower which came from the same timber used for the big dining room mirror.
The same bathroom is also accessorized with a lovely driftwood stool.
So after seeing all these wonderful and inspiring driftwood creations can you blame me for calling Tricia's Cabin on the Water a driftwood home!

What a fantastic place! I just love all those seashells on the tray-very unique.
Best wishes for a great week,
Natasha.
What a wonderful home, and in such a gorgeous setting! Love the bedhead.
I really love that knot board Maya.
I love her sense of style! I have a piece of driftwood hanging in our cottage that we picked up while walking along the beach in Key West years ago...and I still remember that walk each and every time I look at it!
Love this cozy driftwood dream!
Very cool! I can see myself living there quite happily.
Wow Maya, thank you! I didn't know my stuff looked so good!
I have more in the works...
I, too, have dragged home driftwood from the beach. I've got a very smooth white-ish gray one sitting at my kitchen window sill. Every once in a while, a visitor will pick it up and comment. Great post. Thanks for sharing, -s
Wonderful driftwood headboard in an overall nicely styled room.
This would be a fun house to visit. Love all the interesting pieces and shapes and textures the driftwood adds to the rooms. Fun post!
I've always loved driftwood. She's sure found some very creative ways to use it. Jennifer:)
Wow. I love the headboard :)
We love the headboard and the driftwood gray duvet. What a serene home to escape to!
That driftwood headboard is AMAZING!
Very cool! I especially love the mirror, stool, and headboard!
Really nice! I especially love the stool,
So much prettiness! The seashell/driftwood display looks like it belongs in a treasure chest! And don't get me started on the driftwood headboard. Love!
BTW do you think the bedsheets are made of linen? I've always wondered if linen is comfy bed fabric, anyone have any experience?
How interesting! I always feel like a need to decorate when I visit your blog! I can't wait to get back to Florida and change some things!
thelennoxx: linen is THE most comfortable bed fabric, and the original! My business is called Rough Linen, and I sell washed linen duvet covers and shams - the cover in the photo is my most popular line. Of course I might not be the person to ask...!
I've got so many things (ideas!) going on in my head for driftwood right now and this was really inspiring! I am *really* enjoying your blog. The pictures are INCREDIBLE!!!!

How wonderful Maya.. a lot of inspiration here.. I would love a Sea Captain cottage one day myself.. Have a great week xxx Julie
ahh, thank you Tricia! I just might try it out, just had to get some opinions first. And thank you Maya for the heads up!
Love the headboard and the small bench. I always drag home lots of driftwood too and these were some great ideas for inspiration. My granddaughter actually asked me one day why I always collect sticks! ~Lili
I lOvE San Rafael!!! I could live there. It has the cutest artsy downtown...we have gone and stayed the night at the Embassy Suites just to spend some time strolling the place. There is a lovely mission there to visit too. And S.F with the Golden Gate bridge is next door.
