You Loved the Mural, Now Read the Book!

As you know, loyal reader, we have been creating Nautical Chart Wallpaper for nigh unto two decades. When we began, it started slowly. But soon, our nautical chart murals began to appear in people’s homes and offices, and that brought some referrals to us. Later on, we found our way into restaurants, hotels, bars, marinas, and people asked who did their mural, and later contacted us.

But in the last two years, we have appeared in magazines such as Southern Living, Country Living, Ocean Navigator, and other magazines.

Now, for the first time,, we have appeared in a book! The book is by Lauren Liess, who worked with us on a project in Chesapeake Bay. Her clients were a young family with a love for the outdoors. For the children, they wanted to have a major redecoration of their bunkhouse and have it done in nautical charts of the Chesapeake Bay area where the family loved to fish, boat, and enjoy being outside.

We worked with Lauren and Melissa Colgan in laying out the design, then creating it to precisely work in their home. You can see our work on pp 190 - 193. More details about this room are found on p 193, and generous acknowledgements and project details are found on page 197. A great external view of the home can be seen on pp 156, 157.

She entitled this subsection of her Nature Chapter, “Quirky Cool.”

I think you will agree that this is a great name for this section.

Now if you have never bought a book on interior design, you owe it to yourself to get this one. Lauren is an extremely talented decorator, and I promise that you will learn much that will show up in your home someday. The price is $40 at good bookstores, but you can get it on Amazon for $34.40. And if you have Amazon Prime, shipping is free to your doorstep.

But if you are anxious to start on your decorating project text or call us at (801) 989-8083 and we will get the mural portion underway!

  "Skipper" Steve Morris has been sailing for more than 45 years. Whenever Skipper's sailor friends used to talk about their sailing adventures, it was not unusual for them to grab a chart, unroll it to a certain island or waterway, and tell a story of what happened during a particular voyage. As Skipper realized that nautical charts are used for navigating stories as well as passageways, the idea of nautical chart murals came naturally. What better place to tell a tale of the sea than in one's own home or office than with a beautiful nautical chart mural as the visual aid!

   In 2013, he moved to the Coeur d'Alene area of Northern Idaho with his wife Linda. When Skipper is not working on murals, you can find him sailing his Erickson 27' on Lake Coeur d’Alene.

   He continues to design custom-made wallpaper from nautical charts, satellite photos, topographical maps and favorite photos.
