We passed this in our travels the other day and burst out laughing.  It’s 100% original and absolutely fulfills nautical, cottage and original decorating themes but we’re left wondering …really?!

Marina Headboard

Marina Headboard

Available in two versions  – the fancier marina version with its vintage hand-painted ‘number’ graphics on the oars or the nautical distressed and stained decorative paddles.

Nautical Queen Headboard

While we’re certainly not debating the quality we have to question the practicality….you know the bed moves; one paddle breaks type thing. Yet, then we’re thinking totally unique and pretty darn cool – if it were the right environment of course (cottage, lake house, kids room, boathouse, guest room).

So whose created these products?  Guildmaster, a brand world-renowned for their vintage European motif with naturalistic distressing. Founded in 1981 in Springfield, MO, they have since moved operations overseas to Indonesia and China (with the rest of the furniture world) and have 400 trained artisans creating their line under the direct supervision of the founders.  Worth mentioning are their eco and give back initiatives; the one we love is that they’ve created their own tree replanting program in Indonesia to replace the mahogany trees that they used to build their furniture.  Since launching they have replanted over a thousand trees; cool right?!  We’ll be the first to tell you they make incredibly awesome products – or you just see for yourself below!

Both products are available for purchase.  Shipping to US/Canada is $1 duties included.  If you have further questions use the live chat to connect with a Stylist.

What do you think?  Would you buy this week’s #wackywednesday pick?
