Recommended Books

Long ago, before the days of the internet, there was a printed medium that was ideal for imparting wisdom to all who chose to use it. Yes, you remember. They were called BOOKS, and they were very useful. OK, OK, despite the amazing resource that is the web, there are some wonderful and helpful books out there about coastal design, home building and more.

Here then is our collection of favorite books on a variety of topics related to living on the coast.

Featured Book

The Southern Cottage by Susan Sully
Those of us who live in cottage homes are often puzzled by the cavernous interior spaces that are all the rage in today’s McMansion building boom. While we may understand (or sympathize) with those that feel compelled to “live large”, us cottage dwellers prefer our designed environments to be on a more intimate scale.

If you fall into the cottage living camp, you’ll delight in Susan Sully’s latest showcase of homes The Southern Cottage. With stylish examples from South Carolina’s barrier islands and Florida’s Panhandle to rustic mountain retreats in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the author has assembled a collection of residences that provide countless design ideas for those getting ready to choose a home plan. Highly Recommended
