Nautical decor your thing? There's a new love for sea-themed rooms without the kitsch of ratty netting and dark woods. A few designers shared their secrets including local Skip Sroka who recently worked on a project on Maryland's eastern shore. Says he: "Before, everyone wanted this serene beachy feel...Today it's about the playfulness and graphic quality of nautical themes." Skip's own home in Phillips Park was profiled two years ago, but skews more classic than seaworthy. [WSJ; HomeandDesign]
