Nautical Craftsman Den

Roger and Margret have been married for over 50 years. Their love and affection for one another and their life stories spoke wonders to us. We worked with the couple to cosmetically remodel and furnish their three bathrooms, their master bedroom, and their den where they relaxed, unwinded, and watched television. Margret’s family had moved in 1954 to the United States from Germany. She met Roger in high school on a double date, though they were not dating one another. A few years later they met again at a dance and as Margret says, “The rest is history.” During the Cuban War crisis Roger served aboard the U.S.S. Shangri La as a sailor. Roger took pride in his time at sea and collected framed pieces of ships and nautical memorabilia. Tucked away in a closet, our team also found a treasured service photo of Roger, hand colored in a 4×6 frame. We dusted off the frame, knowing it would display beautifully in their new den. Using the couples compiled memories and their pieces as inspiration, we created a palette of grayed and weathered blues, stripes, metals and warm woods that honored this special time in their life.
