Neat and nautical

Article Abstract:

Randy and Leo Schmid used a nautical theme to decorate the new family room of their home in St. Louis, Missouri. The room features soft gray-blue and sand-colored fabrics that re-create the colors of the beach. The simple pine wood floors are covered in sisal carpeting that provides a textured feel. The room also features two built-in pieces of furniture that provide storage and cottage charm. The Schmids decorated the room with their collection of American antiques and reproduction pieces, colonial furnishings and nautical souvenirs.
