This gorgeous room is begging for a name. Nautical in nature, of course. Perhaps Captain's Respite or The Great Cabin or The Maritime Den. The possibilities are endless.
I SO agree with this!!! Funny thing, my little townhome is kind of decorated with the same idea. I LOVE paintings/ prints of sailing ships. I am in the process of having one framed for my dining room. I’ve had the print rolled up in a tube in a closet for many years! I have a clipper ships model in my living room I found as a decorator piece which is fashioned after an actual ship. My taste is a mixture of masculine and feminine. I LOVE the room, the furnishings, the crystal, the silver trays, the walls. MOST especially I LOVE what was done to the chairs-they are simply fabulous.....
Guys, I realize this is a year late, but don’t stress it too much. Remember, the beauty of these old cottages is their imperfections. It just adds to the charm. You got this 😉
I think the attic room looks really cozy and comfortable. My husband (ex-Navy) man would have liked it. You have inspired me to unpack his memorabilia and make a wall in my extra bedroom. Thank you so much.
the porthole mirror is very perfect for the room with the other art theme. and YES! a lighthouse. the one at Frankfort Michigan, or South Haven Michigan are favorites of mine. I have taken ever so many photos.
Joerg does such a professional job in all your projects. Good that you know the work is done to the highest standard when you do things yourself. Kirsten you are the ideas Lady. You compliment each other beautifully.
The vision you had for your attic is really being realized, it does look and feel like a ship captain's room. The porthole and maybe a lighthouse picture will be the icing on the 🎂. I would love to be up there during a thunderstorm, it would seem like a storm at sea. Oh what fun!
This room is beautifully done. It came together like it was meant to be and so it was. It’s so cozy and comfortable. I actually like everything in there.
The attic room is just stunning and with the placement of pictures, one forgets that the bookshelf is off centre. To be true to the Maritime theme, the crystal decanter should be a ships decanter. Ships Decanters were used on many a voyage from the old country. The sturdy wide base would keep it from tipping and rolling around the Captain's table as the ship was tossed at sea. Perhaps the one you now have could eventually go in your dining room and the more authentic ships decanter could continue the nautical theme in the attic.
My Captain, my Captain! Cheers! Look what you have achieved together. Well done indeed. The room you have created is a harmonious blend of your personalities and styles. I'm happy for both of you.
I would love to have a drink in one of those lovely glasses, in that gorgeous room and enjoying your amazing company! If only wishes like that came true!!
So well done. The flowers are the anchor. As soon as you placed them, my eyes were drawn to them, the chairs and back up to the pictures. It completed the whole scene Take care 🇨🇦 🌸
Dear Kirsten and Joerg, I've been self isolating this week and have been living vicariously through your videos, just lovely! Thanks so much. I'm glad you like the Mendips, it's where I live! X
Love it -- very cozy indeed! Would it be over the top if Joerg got a Captain's hat? He just looks like a ship captain...intelligent, reserved and calm. I think a model ship in a bottle would be nice as well. So well done.❤️
I like Sarah’s idea of adding a bronze or bronze-like barometer somewhere. Maybe on a shelf. A lighthouse figurine would also be nice on the bottom shelf between the books and the case.
A beautifully composed space, well done! I love the way you've taken your time and given so much thought to this project, finding and putting all the pieces together and considering every detail to arrive at one harmonious whole. Very inspiring!
Well, I think you absolutely nailed it, just perfect, the colors all the things in the right places, the color of the paint, the shelf is something you would not probably see elsewhere, makes it special. Love the vase too with the pink flowers, oh to die for.
Hi Kirsten & Joerg, exquisite taste! Just beautiful! The round table from your parents suits the room so very well! Thank you for sharing, you are such a lovely couple. Take really good care of yourselves, stay safe! Much love Kathy x 💖
Needle point samplers or needle point scènes would look good too, or maybe old game boards. Love that look too. Your room has come out so lovely, cozy and welcoming.
I think you should rename the attic the sanctuary, it's the prefect get away surrounding you with things you love after a tiring day...even tho it is an office as well. The art is stunning together, really is lovely, the whole room is.
Love it all....can’t wait to see the porthole mirror in its place! I kind of like that the bookcase is not in the middle! Great balance Joerg. Marvellous you two 💞 Cheers and stay well.
Joerg must be an engineer. He is such a perfectionist and has great attention to detail. As the saying goes, it's all in the details. Love your home!❤️
I have always loved cut crystal. Your glasses are beautiful! I love the question mark! The highlight for me is that table. Don't turn your back or it may be gone! 😊💕
I have been relaxing and watching some of your past videos. Each one seems like a visit with a friend. I am constantly amazed at the technology that allows a visit from the UK into a home in Tennessee. You do such a marvelous job, and I like the way you both look into the camera and talk to all of us. Thank you so much!
It’s so lovely to watch your beautiful room evolve. Too often we think things should be done immediately and we can become unhappy with our choices. You have created an inviting space! 🤗❤️ Carrie in 🇨🇦
Der Raum ist super schön geworden. Da habt Ihr Euch selbst übertroffen. Ich liebe ja alles maritime, so dass er auch mein Geschmack wäre. Was noch gut aussehen würde, wäre ein kleiner runder Kompass zwischen der Spitze des Regals und dem großen Bild. Oder links über den Wappenbildern eine Schiffsglocke in klein.
Ihr habt wirklich ein gutes Händchen für Farben und Dekorationen. Der Dachboden ist wunderschön geworden, er strahlt etwas ganz Besonderes aus... Weiterhin Gesundheit und alles Gute für euch, ihr Lieben!
Vielen Dank liebe Annie! Wir sind auch so froh damit, weil wir den Raum jetzt auch wirklich nutzen und wir uns richtig wohl darin fühlen. Ganz ganz liebe Grüße, bleib' auch gesund.
Yhe attic turned out beautiful Love watching how you both placing the pictures on the wall. Love your chairs. Your taste of decor is elegant and yet very homey. The love and work you have put into your home I'd priceless. Love from Texas🤠❤❤❤❣❣❣
Ooh, you are gorgeous!!! What a fantastic job, you did. You made me so curious during the video. The painting is beautiful. The attic became wonderful. I wish, I could have a drink with you.... Stay enjoying life together.🎩👒 Thank you for sharing.🇧🇪🇬🇧🇩🇪🏴🇧🇪🏴🇩🇪🏴🇧🇪🇮🇪 Carine from 🇧🇪
Thank you for sharing the great tip about first cutting out paper size representations of the pictures you want to hang in your gallery wall ! I need to try that out soon. For me personally the shade of blue on the walls really enhances the quality of your attic sitting room.
This gorgeous room is begging for a name. Nautical in nature, of course. Perhaps Captain's Respite or The Great Cabin or The Maritime Den. The possibilities are endless.
The room is so lovely. A barometer would look good as well to go with the nautical theme x
Thanks so much!
Yes, a barometer they are usually long and will fit perfectly.
I agree or a ships wheel
I don't mind when things are not symmetrical. It just looks more artistic and unexpected! Love the room!!!
The room is the perfect reflection of both of you, with both masculine and feminine touches. It's beautiful!
Thanks so much Laura!

Love how you two listen to each other’s ideas and compromise. You can tell you both respect each other.
Guys, I realize this is a year late, but don’t stress it too much. Remember, the beauty of these old cottages is their imperfections. It just adds to the charm. You got this 😉
Thanks so much! Oh we don’t live in a cottage, it is a Victorian terraced house.
I think the attic room looks really cozy and comfortable. My husband (ex-Navy) man would have liked it. You have inspired me to unpack his memorabilia and make a wall in my extra bedroom. Thank you so much.
I must say again - I love the variety of content on your channel. travel... cooking.. home decor... it's all so good.
Thanks so much Christina, that means a lot!
the porthole mirror is very perfect for the room with the other art theme. and YES! a lighthouse. the one at Frankfort Michigan, or South Haven Michigan are favorites of mine. I have taken ever so many photos.
I love how your home has tasteful decor, just lovely.
Thanks so much!
You have a lovely home.
I love how the room is coming together. Gorgeous colors.
Joerg does such a professional job in all your projects. Good that you know the work is done to the highest standard when you do things yourself. Kirsten you are the ideas Lady. You compliment each other beautifully.
Hello lovely people! What a sweet way to address us! Sending it right back to you lovely people!
The vision you had for your attic is really being realized, it does look and feel like a ship captain's room. The porthole and maybe a lighthouse picture will be the icing on the 🎂. I would love to be up there during a thunderstorm, it would seem like a storm at sea. Oh what fun!
Thanks a lot Nancy.
Well.. obviously it didn't end too well fore some others in 'Das Attic' though did it. Hilarious stuff
When the ship painting went up I said ‘wow’ out loud. Everything you dreamt of for that room has come true. It’s just beautiful 😍
This room is beautifully done. It came together like it was meant to be and so it was. It’s so cozy and comfortable. I actually like everything in there.

What a quaint and cozy video!
Thank you for this especially two years in the future when the world has become chaotic!
I am so glad I am not the only one who uses a spirit level to see if the picture is straight! Great job Joerg and Kirsten.
We are so glad to be with you decorating the attic. It's getting really sophisticated. Joerg did a great job. Deserved the wine.
Was für ein gemütlicher Raum. Wir waren ja sehr gespannt. Die Bilder runden das ganze ab. Großes Lob an Jörg für die Gestaltung der Bilderwand.
Vielen lieben Dank!
Such a beautiful room. “O Captain, my Captain” Walt Whitman.
It’s been lovely watching every stage of decorating the room. Looks really beautiful 🌻
Good nigh Kristen and Joerg Love you both and your beautiful home.Thank you for sharing it with us.
The Attic Room is Glorious
Thanks so much!
My Captain, my Captain! Cheers!
Look what you have achieved together. Well done indeed. The room you have created is a harmonious blend of your personalities and styles. I'm happy for both of you.
Thanks so much!
You must love sitting in your gorgeous little attic room. Well done you too, it’s so calming, cosy and elegant. Perfection!
The painting is beautiful! Just the right thing to
pull the 'Captain's Quarter' together, and give it some age.

I would love to have a drink in one of those lovely glasses, in that gorgeous room and enjoying your amazing company! If only wishes like that came true!!
How lovely to be able to relax and indulge yourselves in your ships attic room! Lovely crystal glasses too, cheers Kirsten and Joerg 🥂
❤ THE pictures are so perfectly unified n hung nicely. Love the wine goblets Downtown Abby here we come lol. Maggie Smith would be proud 😅
So well done.
The flowers are the anchor. As soon as you placed them, my eyes were drawn to them,
the chairs and back up to the pictures. It completed the whole scene
Take care 🇨🇦 🌸
Very nice! When you put the lamp back on the right side, I thought it actually balanced out the sides beautifully.
I agree! I thought then that an extra picture on the wall might not be necessary 🙂
The mirror will reflect some nice light into the room.
The variety of content on your channel is all my jam.❤️🇨🇦❤️
It's a gorgeous room for relaxing. Love it.
Dear Kirsten and Joerg, I've been self isolating this week and have been living vicariously through your videos, just lovely! Thanks so much. I'm glad you like the Mendips, it's where I live! X

Well done with the attic room. The wall colour with the pictures feels like you are walking into an oasis of calm.
Well, I think you absolutely nailed it, just perfect, the colors all the things in the right places, the color of the paint, the shelf is something you would not probably see elsewhere, makes it special. Love the vase too with the pink flowers, oh to die for.
Thanks so much Dena!
Spät aber von Herzen, ein wunderschöner Raum .
Your hard work has truly made a beautiful room.
The room is cozy and so British! Looking forward to new purchases, and completion.
Hi Kirsten & Joerg, exquisite taste! Just beautiful! The round table from your parents suits the room so very well! Thank you for sharing, you are such a lovely couple. Take really good care of yourselves, stay safe! Much love Kathy x 💖
The attic room turned out spectacular! I see you both in it and it reflects you both to perfection. Now enjoy it fully, you both deserve it. Mary
Der Raum ist so gemütlich und geschmackvoll geworden, interessant war, dassdie deutsche Übersetzungen eingeblendet wurde
Complimenti per il buongusto e la raffinatezza che avete in ogni cosa che fate 😘
Lovely attic. Caption Joerg now has his gentleman's quarters where he can work from home. Sending love from Illinois USA
Your attic room is looking so very cosy and charming!!!! I love it!!! It really makes me smile, just beautiful!!!!
Thank you so much!
My grandfather had the caps on his furniture. To protect both carpets and wood flooring. You bring back memories.
Nice wall gallery. The antique painting with its golden frame looks spectacular. I am an artist & love old antique paintings.
Job well done indeed ! The room looks lovely . It’s a reflection of your personalities and is very tastefully planned.
What a beautiful room one could stay up there all day
The room looks very cosy. The colour of the wall and the colour of the peonies - great! - Liane -
I love the room! It is so warm and inviting. The gallery wall is perfect.
Yeah. All thats missing from the Attic Picture Gallery is a framed 'Ann Frank' Smiling in das Centre Piece. And a map of Poland.
The ship picture is so beautiful! It was so fun being in suspense-what would it be? Oh, a beautiful ship! Perfect!
Congratulations! A Lovely room for lovely people
It's your room in the sky. I bet it's cozy when it rains.
What a beautiful work you have done with the attic room! I adored the combination of colours, the gallery wall, the tables and chairs!! Congrats!
Needle point samplers or needle point scènes would look good too, or maybe old game boards. Love that look too. Your room has come out so lovely, cozy and welcoming.
Wunderbare Gallery Wall..😊❤
C'est toujours un bonheur de vous voir, merci pour vos vidéos
The whole room is so pretty. I love the new boat painting, in addition to the other boat pictures.
Thanks so much Jamie!
Great job, you guys ..... very cozy spot to relax and have a drink :)
You two are such a lovely couple ❤️ Your voices are so soft and calming! In America we are used to LOUD people who talk very fast 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a wonderful room. I love the colors of the walls and furniture. My favorite item is the bookshelf with the green suitcase.
I think you should rename the attic the sanctuary, it's the prefect get away surrounding you with things you love after a tiring day...even tho it is an office as well. The art is stunning together, really is lovely, the whole room is.
Love it all....can’t wait to see the porthole mirror in its place! I kind of like that the bookcase is not in the middle! Great balance Joerg. Marvellous you two 💞 Cheers and stay well.
The room is really coming together. It is just lovely and as you said cozy. Great reading room , also.
Lovely room for a lovely couple.than you very much
Absolutely beautiful,AND INSPIRING ♥️♥️♥️👍
...and cheers to you as well for a job well done !!
Stunning crystal. Love the coasters so no wonder your excited.
Joerg must be an engineer. He is such a perfectionist and has great attention to detail. As the saying goes, it's all in the details. Love your home!❤️
I loved your idea of glueing papers before nail the walls. I'll do that in my house either. Thanks.
I have always loved cut crystal. Your glasses are beautiful! I love the question mark! The highlight for me is that table. Don't turn your back or it may be gone! 😊💕
You finally have your own cozy little castle 🏰👍👏💙
Thank you very much once again for your video! The wall looks lovely! Yes, a lighthouse would suit perfectly!👍🏼🤗😘
I have been relaxing and watching some of your past videos. Each one seems like a visit with a friend.

Well done Joerg it looks beautiful guys you have great taste.xxxx

Lovely glasses that was a good find. ❤
Ihr habt wirklich ein gutes Händchen für Farben und Dekorationen.
Der Dachboden ist wunderschön geworden,
er strahlt etwas ganz Besonderes aus...
Weiterhin Gesundheit und alles Gute für euch, ihr Lieben!

Lovely, lovely and the glass goblets are divine! 👍
Your attic is stunning! You guys did a brilliant job! Sending love from Maine USA!❤
So so glad you like it Sue, thanks so much!
But obviously .. not too much fun if you're actually J$wish though. As Attics are generally avoided. But wonderfully ironic either way.
Preciosa decoracion. Ideal para el lugar de descanso. 👏
Bellissimo..... 🌹a very inviting atmosphere you’ve created ... Bravo 🌹
It mirrors both of you 😎☀️🇺🇸
Love the painting, Lord Nelson, colors & all. Congratulations, well done!
Ooh, you are gorgeous!!! What a fantastic job, you did. You made me so curious during the video. The painting is beautiful. The attic became wonderful.
I wish, I could have a drink with you....
Stay enjoying life together.🎩👒
Thank you for sharing.🇧🇪🇬🇧🇩🇪🏴🇧🇪🏴🇩🇪🏴🇧🇪🇮🇪 Carine from 🇧🇪
Ah, the attic room is beautiful ❤ It's very classic and sophisticated! Bravo and thank you very much for linking products!
Lovely ❣ I am an enthusiastic fan of maritime art and artifacts ❤
Absolutely beautiful and comfortable!! I would spend a lot of time in there relaxing. I love the new painting.
Thank you for sharing the great tip about first cutting out paper size representations of the pictures you want to hang in your gallery wall ! I need to try that out soon.
For me personally the shade of blue on the walls really enhances the quality of your attic sitting room.
What a lovely cosy space you two have created. I love your pictures, Old sailing ships were my Dad's passion. There were many in our home.
Beautiful attic room! It's really coming together. So cozy! If I was Joerg, I would really enjoy working up there! xx
So happy I am for you both in your cozy room ! Very clever organizing your photo gallery do way you did. Cheers !
Aloha, very beautiful! Love Chrystal! Please take care! Aloha
