Nautical but not naff

    The Peanut Vendor's lovely ship in a box
    The 'nautical look' is an easy one to get wrong. Well, not wrong - but it can look a little twee and naff and with very little effort. Not at the Peanut Vendor, one of my favourite vintage shops, where this pleasantly pre-loved boat and map are displayed in an old wooden box-frame. It's 50cm x 50cm (and 8cm deep) and costs just £75. Quite a bargain for a unique piece of art.

    I'll be compiling a whole list of affordable wall adorning ideas soon - so watch this space if you've got some, um, space on your walls to fill.
