A Peek at My Place: Vintage Nautical Chart



It's been a long time since I've shared any photos from our apartment so I thought I'd share one of my favorite additions (apologies in advance for the poor picture quality--it's time for a new camera!) Awhile back I scored two vintage nautical charts at an antique store on the Cape for the bargain price of $8! After months of sitting rolled up by our couch I finally got around to framing one in a simple Ikea Ribba frame. I didn't realize it until I was framing, but this chart actually depicts the harbor my old boarding school is situated on which of course makes me love it even more! I'm also kind of obsessed with my ikat pillow I ordered from this ebay seller. It came straight from Uzbekistan--took forever but well worth it!
