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!
I ADORE that chart and LOVE that pillow! Great new treasures for sure!
Luvs!
Wow, awesome finds! All looks great together!
Love the map!! I've been meaning to hunt for something similar for our place. You inspire me so : )

I love the map and the pillow! I have been wanting a map of Cape Cod for our apartment for awhile now! Do you mind sharing where you found these maps?
Thanks for sharing the source for the pillow cover. LOVE the map.
Such a great idea! I want to try and find one of the Florida Keys where I used to spend all my summer breaks!

I love vintage maps- and the fact that this one has your old schools harbor is even better. Did you go to Tabor?
I am on the hunt for vintage nautical charts to frame in my apartment. I love the look!
So funny, I did a similar thing with a nautical map of Buzzards Bay! Check it out here: http://wickeddomestic.com/2010/09/02/nautical-map-art-work/
I grew up summering on Buzzards Bay and have such a fondness for the area, that I like looking at it everyday!
