Waterside Cottages
defines the attributes of successful coastal decorating, so that
anyone, anywhere can create a casual waterfront atmosphere, even
when the nearest body of water is a thousand miles away.
Waterside property holds an undeniable appeal, as do the cozy,
casual dwellings that exist there. But waterside style need
not--and often is not--confined to residences within walking
distance of an ocean or lake. The details are what truly give
cottages that elusive quality known as coziness. Cottages near the
water tend to be snug and modest, with exteriors painted in
sun-reflecting whites, nautical blues, or playful colors. The
interiors of these houses likewise avoid formality in favor of a
casual approach. For many cottage owners, the goal is to create
the illusion that their decor is somehow "thrown together," albeit
very tastefully.
From tidy New England beach cottages to bright tropical bungalows
to a boathouse on the steep, pine-studded banks of the Kalamazoo
River, Waterside Cottages showcases thirteen romantic havens,
giving you inspiration for creating your own cozy waterside home. |

Beach Cottages
The words alone have the hypnotic associations Henry James once
famously ascribed to summer afternoon–“the two most beautiful
words in the English language.” Lifelong beach girl Mary Emmerling
captures that implicit promise of freedom in her captivating
volume celebrating the American beach cottage.
Much of the beach house’s allure is in its reflection of a simpler
way of life, a pared-down existence where the breeze is the
housekeeper, the furnishings don’t mind a damp swimsuit, and the
most precious treasures are seashells and memories. In Mary
Emmerling’s Beach Cottages, Mary invites us into seventeen
coastal retreats that capture that spirit, and introduces us to
the people who take joy from them.
Join Mary on a warm, intimate tour of unique seaside escapes,
including:
•A pint-sized artist’s studio in Key West
•A dramatic black-and-white retreat in Newport Beach, California
•A shell-lined jewel box in Laguna Beach, California
•A nautically inspired Cape Cod getaway
•A haven in Galveston, Texas, with sea-grass rugs and matchstick
blinds
•The homes of designers such as Barclay Butera and Rachel Ashwell
•Mary’s own charming cottage, complete with beach balls, sailfish,
and beaded curtains
With gorgeously photographed profiles of easy-going seaside homes
and innovative design solutions for everyday living, Mary
Emmerling’s Beach Cottages is both beautiful and
inspirational. Like a beloved seaside haven, this is a book to
return to again and again. |

Cottages on the Coast
Wherever they are located, seaside dwellings share
several common traits. These hearty homes are
crafted from tried and true materials that age
gracefully in the sea air and reflect local building
traditions and styles. They balance the storms of
winter with the peaceful days of summer and maximize
beautiful views whatever the season.
Cottages on the Coast
presents an extensive variety of homes from sea to
shining sea. Linda Leigh Paul selected more than 25
examples from Bainbridge Island, to Big Sur, from
the Florida Keys, to Tybee Island, and north to
Maine. You will be captivated by hundreds of
beautiful photographs of vernacular exteriors and
very personal interiors.
Cottages on the Coast
stands out because the interiors and exteriors exude
a lot of personality, and they seem authentic and
attainable. New England is well represented with
houses in Maine, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket.
The tranquil cover image, Treasure Cottage on Key
West is truly a cottage at a mere 500 square feet.
Treasure Cottage is filled with the owners carefully
arranged antique collection, which does not clutter
the small space but gives the home so much
personality. Other examples, a modernist cottage
designed by a Frank Lloyd Wright pupil in Carmel,
complete with loads of natural light, and built-in
furnishings. Or a cottage recently built on a
private island in the Puget Sound, built on a solid
rock foundation, with enormous interior beams to
withstand the fiercest storms, decorated in a simple
manner re-using found materials such as driftwood
for a mantel and stair case railing.
Cottages on the Coast will
be a source of inspiration for readers who are
considering rehabbing, designing, or decorating a
seaside dwelling. Or if you are an avid armchair
traveler Cottages on the Coast will fill you with
travel ideas for your next coastal break.
