He has combined many facets of the nautical world by using antique ship’s wheels, English pond yachts, ship construction prints and a wonderful collection of seashells. His collective use of these items makes the interior indigenous to the area. A straw European floor covering called Madagascar was used to dictate the neutral color palette. This floor covering is very versatile in that it offers both comfort and durability. West has also chosen incredible 18^th C. and 19^th C. painted Scandinavian furniture such as a buffet base and a grandfather clock. These pieces continue West’s neutral nautical theme. The antique iron ship’s lanterns and custom hand wrought iron chandelier were hung as light fixtures to preserve the ship-like atmosphere. The overall effect of the interior design will make you feel like you are sailing off into the sunset. Featured in Coastal Living and cover of Atlanta Magazine.
