Dream of Your
Next Getaway
The centerpiece of this
bedroom isn’t any ordinary
bed. The king-sized mattress
is set in a restored sailboat
with a headboard that matches
the boat’s rich wooden trim
and deck. The other side of
this custom-made bed has an
extended base and steps made
from weathered wood to match.
It’s almost as if you washed
ashore onto a deserted island,
placed the boat on the sand and
created your own comfy shelter.

Whether you’re designing a themed room in your
own home or looking to staycation at a home away
from home right here in Orlando, we’re exploring
ways to bring your bucket list into your living space.
Tip!
You might not be lying in a sailboat on the ocean looking up at the
night sky as the movement of the waves lull you to sleep, but you
might as well be. Along with the sailboat, a mosaic wave stretches
across the floor, traveling along the base of a sliding glass door, from
wall to wall. Glass tiles with varying shades of turquoise make up this
mosaic, playing off of the sandy colored tile floor. Accent pieces like
a worn propeller pull the whole theme together.
