In this book, Howard shares all she has learned about combining the practical with the pretty when designing for homes on the seacoast, whether that means selecting colors or incorporating materials that stand up to the elements and sandy feet. Each house in this collection—from over-the-top contemporaries set amid the dunes to Caribbean getaways made for indoor/outdoor living—has a distinctive design that is meant not just to be lived in, but to be enjoyed
