[ oar decor and my oar makeover ]

I'VE BEEN coming across quite a few examples of oars being used in decor and I love the casual, seaside feel of it.



I was hoping I might stumble upon an old oar somewhere but was sure it wasn't going to happen in Dubai. Until, Pottery Barn was having their summer clearance sale and I scored this one for only $13!


I wasn't crazy about the navy colour but I knew that I could easily give it a fresh new look.

And here you go! 


I love the cottagey look and the pale turquoise is always a favourite colour of mine. I'm not sure if I'll hang it or not, but for now, I'm happy with it leaning in the corner.
