Making our boat a home

Pillows, pillows and more pillows! I may have a teeny tiny problem. You see, even before we moved onto the boat, I had a love for all things ocean related. Now I know what you're thinking, pillows aren't from the ocean, ah, but they sorta are when they are made using ocean/beach themed material, are they not? Ok, they're not, but I'll use whatever I have to to make my case! 

I had already been wanting to add to my collection of throw pillows when I read Lahowind's post on her many boat pillows, so, I  ran with the idea. {and I'm not done running, either....shhh! dont tell hubs!} ;)

Below is our salon {aka living area} lots of family photos & even two of my neice's art work is displayed. :) oh, and let's not forget, those ocean pillows. 

And the other side of the salon...

More pillows, a couple more photos and lots of baskets & bowls to keep everything on the shelves looking neat & tidy. 

When I found these indoor/outdoor pillows I snatched them up and added them to my collection. I am now up to 10 pillows, it would've been 11, but I finally won the war on Bertha and she took a hike to the dumpster a few weeks ago. :)

The itty-bitty head {aka bathroom}

Again, baskets to keep things looking clean and more importantly, so little things are not sliding around everywhere when we take the boat out. And, a custom sized rag rug made by moi for the itty-bitty bathroom floor! 

End result:

The v-berth {aka bedroom}

Nothing fancy, and not even really a room, just our cozy, lil' loft-style, bed! 

The little nook on top of our hanging locker {microscopic closet}

And, my favorite part of the boat, the galley {aka kitchen} 

Favorite, because standing in that back little corner I can see every part of our boat that makes our home!!

My dainty kitchen, not like anything I've ever dreamed of having, but it has its charm too! 

Everything is neatly packed in and easily reached while cooking, cleaning or just grabbing something to drink!

I've tried really hard to create a home in our boat....and I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere. It's important to me to make it feel homey, so that I don't feel like I'm camping. If it feels like a temporary thing, it'll most likely stay that way....and we want this to last longer than a vacation. 

Pillows, photos and rugs, basically, anything that adds texture, a pop of color and a personal flair....these are the things that make up a home, for me!
