Product Description
This treasure trove of decorating inspiration showcases coastal homes from the shores of New England down to Key West and the Caribbean. It explores the unique design of seaside homes along the rugged coastline of the Pacific Northwest down to the sunny beaches of Southern California, letting readers experience how the architectural vernacular of a region influences the design of its homes. Step inside these homes to see how the coastal way of life dictates the décor-from thoughtfully designed porches that are an extension of the home, punches of citrus green and seaglass blue in a whimsical room for children, to kitchens and living rooms that are casual gathering places in the truest sense. Get ideas for infusing your own home with a similar laid-back sense of style. See how simple updates like the choice of paint color or lighting can truly make a room, and gather ideas for your own redo with our inspiring makeovers.

This review is from: COASTAL LIVING BEACH HOUSE STYLE : DESIGNING SPACES THAT BRING THE BEACH TO YOU (Paperback)
If you buy Coastal living beach house style you will see that almost 75% of the photos are the same ones in their Coastal living Our best makeovers magazine 2010.I was so disappointed that so many of the photos were the same. I have a lot of old Coastal living issues and there were so many other photos they could have used. Maybe next time they will use some new material and not the same old photos just in a new book.

Beach House Styles, Dec 28 2010

This review is from: COASTAL LIVING BEACH HOUSE STYLE : DESIGNING SPACES THAT BRING THE BEACH TO YOU (Paperback)
If you're looking for an overview of different signature beach house styles, this book is a good place to start. It surveys the most popular beach styles which are influenced by geography: the bold navy, whites and reds of New England, soft sand and blue tones in Seaside Florida, hot pinks, yellows and preppy greens in Key West Style, the Spanish/Mexican influences of Southern California, the moody-murky deeper tones of the Pacific Northwest and the tropical brights of the Caribbean.The book takes you room-by-room beginning with living rooms, and includes bedrooms, kitchens, baths and porches illustrating the possibilities and variations of beach decor. My favorite feature of this book is the "elements of style" page for each kind of room which shows common elements used. Different pieces are highlighted to demonstrate how a look can be put together for a particular room from chairs to side tables, to rugs, to fabric to accessories like lanterns.
There were some rooms I loved, but others didn't look particularly "beachy" to me such as a Moroccan-influenced bedroom, a neo-classic master bedroom, and a lavender and green guest room which looked more farmhouse country to me. The most successful, and attractive, rooms in the book I thought brought more of the outdoors in and looked more "beachy". I don't subscribe to COASTAL LIVING magazine, although occasionally look at it at Barnes & Noble, and all of the rooms were new to me. If you have a subscription, you may have seen the rooms before, and want to take that into consideration. This is a fun and affordable introduction to a casual, inviting and comfortable vacation style which many want in our homes.

This review is from: COASTAL LIVING BEACH HOUSE STYLE : DESIGNING SPACES THAT BRING THE BEACH TO YOU (Paperback)
Repeat of what is found in past issues of the Coastal Living Magazine. Pictures are nice, as is the layout, but an overall disappointment. Was hoping for new design ideas and because I view the monthly magazine much of it was alredy viewed. Would not recommend.
