Books: Living on the Coast {Barclay Butera}

July 08, 2012


Ahhhhh.
Barclay is almost as pretty
as his beachy new book
Barclay Butera Living on the Coast
(Gibbs Smith, 2012).



In this lovely for your library,
the designer shares yummy
decorating and design tips
for achieving a beachy clean ambience.


Barclay Butera Living on the Coast

Whether you love
Cottage Beach
Classic Beach
Serene Beach
Modern Beach
or
Elegant Beach...


I bet there is inspiration in here for the
perfect beachlovely style for you.
Hmmm.
Just noticed there is no
'insanity beach' in the book.
I double-checked.
What a shame.


(Dude, you know I'm down with Serene Beach!)



 Balancing vibrant colors and
tranquil sun-washed hues...


satisfies the appetite
for the crisp clean of blue and white
while managing to charm us with
the rest of the beachy rainbow
as well.

********
Are you feelin Barclay's barefoot elegant voodoo?

Peace to you right where you are.





  Hello Lovely at times partners

    I need to get this book for sure. I have a pin board called Beach Elegance, that is the vibe I would love for my home now or at the beach would be even better.

    "sweet" book and cute guy! I loved the beach house in the movie Somethings Gotta Give. It had a beach vibe but very classic and elegant.

    I think my style would be cottage beach with some serene beach thrown in, but hey this is opulent beach which takes you straight by your nautical collar and tells you- hey, this is how you use red in beach! WOW.

    I dream of having a beach house! Of course, just getting back from a week at the beach doesn't help the cause either!

    Great ideas - I love the outdoor terrace - the perfect place to relax and the gorgeous bright, fresh bedroom too.
