This walk-out basement is now a cozy den with lots of nautical flair. This brass fish is just one of many decorative accent items that fit the room's nautical theme.
Nothing says nautical like a pair of wooden paddles, added to the wall for decoration.
Matt Fox and Shari Hiller asked the family that lives in this lakeside home what they needed the most, and the unanimous response was a multipurpose den. With growing children and lots of visitors, they needed a place to gather and watch television, additional sleeping quarters for guests, storage for extra bedding and a place to hang lake gear such as jackets, swimsuits and hats. Their unused basement turned out to be the perfect place to create a den. Once the room's function was determined, the decorating plan could begin. The lake just outside the back door inspired a nautical theme.
