Wall Art to Personalize Your Abode

Vinyl Wall Decals

Add a personal touch to the inside of your abode. Make a HUGE impact or go subtle. It doesn't have to be nauticle, it's up to you! Have a phrase or a poem you love, many sellers will custom design one for you. People notice them as soon as they step onboard.

Pros:  Wall decals come ready to install and require no nails or glues. They weigh less to nothing. Just wipe it clean. You don't have to be artistic to install them. Most sellers will custom size them to fit your space and offer a selection of colors too. If you tire of them you can easily peel them up, no chemicals required. They leave no residue. Big bang for a a few bucks.

Cons: Decals with very fine filigree (thickness of a pencil point) may peel up on their own.

Perfect Boat Bucket

Way Clean 4 Gallon Bucket

From swabbing the deck, doing laundry, holding tools and reef fish this bucket is the right shape and size to get it done. It's the right shape to fit in tight spaces and has a wide flat interior surface that tapers out to make doing the wash much easier.

Channels in the base allow dirt to settle and keep water clean. The side grips and pouring spouts on each end allow for easy carrying and emptying. It has a calibrated measuring strip. It measures 18.5" x 11.75" x 10". 

Warning, don't attempt to fill the bucket in the stream while under way. I broke the handle and have to splurge for a new one. At under $13 it's a bit pricey but well worth it!  

One Size Fits All Knife Holder

Bamboo Skewer Knife Holder

 

For $49 - $89 you can buy this sleek and functional knife holder.

SMALL 2.5"L x 7.75"W x 6"H, LARGE 5"L x 7.5"W x 10"H

Kapoosh Universal Cutlery Block

For $29 you can buy this solid hardwood block with moveable "fibers".

For around $30 do-it-yourselfers can custom size one. Wood skewers are available at almost any dollar store at $1 per pack of 100. The number of skewers can range from 1,400 to 2,500 depending on the size box you assemble. Skewers should be snug but not tight.

The hard way is to use lumber pieces, varnish or wax, glue, sanding, etc.

I purchased a wood tissue cover, turned it upside down, cut a wood insert to cover the hole and cut the skewers length to extend 2" above the rim. Our box holds 8+ knives. You can glue the skewers or leave them loose so they can be replaced in the future. If loose they may pop out slightly.

Pros: Each of these versatile knife holder provides a safe, secure cushion for knives without dulling their blades. They can accommodate any size knife.
