5.0 out of 5 stars Seaside beauty...., June 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Seaside Interiors (Interiors Series) (Hardcover)

This is a magnificent book to add to your coffee table, photography collections, decorating books, or just for the sheer pleasure of the absolutely beautiful photos. The book is a journey in itself; of lovely homes...perhaps of more unique architechture than the average home, but offering wonderful ideas on colors and at the same time showing many pictures of day-to-day living...in the most beautiful of seaside locations that one could imagine. Simply wonderful!

This review is from: Seaside Interiors (Interiors Series) (Hardcover)

This book is not only beautiful but inpsiring. The photography and design is wonderful. It allows the mind to wander to far off places while creating new ideas for your own environment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful coffee table book, January 30, 2001

This review is from: Seaside Interiors (Interiors Series) (Hardcover)

In our search for books on this topic, we came across this one, which we love because it's a great dream book. Our other favorite is Second Home, which is great for both daydreaming and planning. Second Home shows a wider variety of homes around the country (all gorgeous) but blends information on choosing a location, decorating, and so on, into the book. Seaside Interiors gives a lovely look at homes with no information on how to make your second home come true. I like both books. If you can only buy one, then I recommend Second Home instead.
