Waterside Cottages
By Barbara Jacksier
Waterfront homes are well known for their cozy and modest appeal. With nautical or tropical colors and playful patterns, they bring the simplicity of living by the water into your lifestyle. In this gorgeous, full-color book, Barbara Jacksier delves into the world of waterside cottages, showcasing selections from the tropics to New England, and even a boathouse on the shore of Lake Michigan.
Waterside Cottages examines 13 beautiful homes that demonstrate the irresistible beauty and appeal of coastal living. Jacksier explores how these cottages became masterpieces and discusses the details that make them unique. From small additions, like a jar casually filled with shells, to furnishings like distressed antique furniture, even the tiniest details of these coastal abodes help to create the perfect sanctuaries along the shore.
The impeccable style of waterside cottages is not only for those who dwell on the shore, so Jacksier offers advice on choosing ideal colors, textures, and patterns to create “your own dream waterfront home,” even if you don’t live anywhere near the water.
