Growing up in New England nautical- and ocean-themed home decor items were a fairly common site. We lived in a more northern part of Maine, so we didn’t have as much right where I lived, but one of my aunts, her husband and family lived on a little island off the coast. When we visited it the ocean surrounded us, lobsters were printed on serving dishes, and boats were around every corner.
Living in Kentucky… well, not so much. I get excited when I see a Maine Lobster or Maryland Crab sign, and though it doesn’t go with any of our decor, I always look at the nautical prints and items a little wistfully.
