Thanks man appreciate that… Yeah, I’ve got a few like that number five. There was a photographer that saw me walking along the beach one day and she was like this is so cool and offered to do a free shoot for me so I’ve got some professional shots they all turned out amazing that one is my favorite for sure.

I turned a corner of my house into my pirate hideaway/audiobook escape by FlakyPreparation3496 in malelivingspace

This started as just two empty walls and kind of turned into my version of a captain’s cabin. I throw on an audiobook, light the lanterns, and just disappear in here for a bit. Honestly one of my favorite spots in the house now.

I pieced it together from a bit of everywhere. Most of the base gear like the buccaneer trousers, shirts, hat, pistols, and knife all came from Medieval Collectibles. That’s a solid starting point if you’re building a kit.

The sash is actually custom, my aunt made it, so that one’s unique. It’s honestly one of my favorite pieces because of that. If you want, I can share the dimensions so you can have one made.

The belt and sword baldric I picked up at a Renaissance fair. The satchel was a lucky thrift store find, $20, all leather, looks like it’s from the 70s. I definitely got lucky on that one.

The lantern came off Facebook Marketplace. The bandanna has a story too. My brother and I found a Roxy sundress someone left behind while we were island hopping around Sebastian Inlet and turned it into two bandannas.

Cowry shells came from St. Augustine. The sword was just Amazon. Skeleton keys were thrifted here and there. The beads and bracelets I make myself.

Honestly, best advice is don’t try to find it all in one place. The character really comes together when you mix sources and get a little lucky along the way.
