Nautical Nursery Theme Ideas

by Jan

The following DIY nautical nursery theme ideas were shared with us by Terri Smith, a talented photographer that has allowed us to showcase some notable sailing theme lighting and wall decorating projects.

Enjoy the delightful nautical nursery pictures!

Owen's parents did a great job of decorating their baby's nursery with lots of seafaring decorations including dad's collection of paper, tall sailing ships, ships' flags and the incredible red, white and blue compass ceiling decoration.


To simply call it a light fixture is just not enough....it's fantastic. What a view, baby Owen is enjoying from his baby bed!
