Mary Emmerling's Beach Cottages: At Home by the Sea

Mary Emmerling's Beach Cottages: At Home by the Sea

beach house.
The words alone have the hypnotic associations Henry James once famously ascribed to summer afternoonâ€“â€œthe two most beautiful words in the English language.â€ Lifelong beach girl Mary Emmerling captures that implicit promise of freedom in her captivating volume celebrating the American beach cottage.

Much of the beach houseâ€™s allure is in its reflection of a simpler way of life, a pared-down existence where the breeze is the housekeeper, the furnishings donâ€™t mind a damp swimsuit, and the most precious treasures are seashells and memories. In Mary Emmerlingâ€™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:

â€¢A pint-sized artistâ€™s studio in Key West
â€¢A dramatic black-and-white retreat in Newport Beach, California
â€¢A shell-lined jewel box in Laguna Beach, California
â€¢A nautically inspired Cape Cod getaway
â€¢A haven in Galveston, Texas, with sea-grass rugs and matchstick blinds
â€¢The homes of designers such as Barclay Butera and Rachel Ashwell
â€¢Maryâ€™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 Emmerlingâ€™s Beach Cottages is both beautiful and inspirational. Like a beloved seaside haven, this is a book to return to again and again.
