After: Designer Kelli Ellis transforms the space with colors inspired by the ocean and ships, lots of wood in different forms and antique nautical elements.
Heather and Matt Provence wanted a nautical-themed guest room, but they created a sinking shipwreck. By decorating with plastic foam life preservers, a light house curtain and nautical fabrics, their design missed the mark. Now they're sending out an S.O.S to the design experts. With a $2,000 budget, designer Kelli Ellis, design coordinator Jennifer Julian and contractor Steve Pitzer create a room that is truly seaworthy.
