Life is better at the beach - Vintage nautical

I am so excited to have been asked to be do a renovation for a beach restaurant in a sleepy little West Coast town.

So much so that I am now completely obsessed with the chosen theme: Vintage nautical

From dated black and white photographs from the 50's where ladies where dressed in beautifully cut full body constumes to striped walls and thick boat roaps.

Herewith a few of the visual references I've been collecting for the project via Pinterst.

Lots of love,
    Margaux

I love the flattering swim suit cuts and stripes.

Nothing says nautical like a striped wall, rope textrue
and a fluffy stack of beach towels
