Coastal Loft Study
http://www.ktharpdesign.com

Lisa Kauffman Tharp's custom 9' tall barn doors, complete with authentic galvanized track mounted near the ceiling, are a strong aesthetic statement that also provide ultimate functionality for this serene office retreat. The room can be opened up along its entire front perimeter, or closed off completely, sharing only daylight through the upper glass. Chunky Mexican table provides ample workspace, while sailboat, antique propeller and "Old Skiff" by Jim Holland complement Kauffman Tharp's nautical chart-papered wall. Photo: Eric Roth.

Lisa K. Tharp - K. Tharp Design Hi luvc.

I used actual Nautical Charts to create this focal wall. Read how you can replicate this look here:

Lisa K. Tharp - K. Tharp Design Hi Doris.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Laura Fenton to Expand Your Horizons With Map Wallpaper and Decals
A handsome office by Kauffman Tharpe Design features nautical accents, including walls papered in nautical charts. The charts are pinned up with clear thumbtacks.
added by Beth Woodson and Kristy Harvey to Sailboats Steer Rooms Into Nautical Chic
As the centerpiece on a dining table or an accessory on a desk, an antique sailboat conjures the feel of the sea in a sophisticated way.
