I was disappointed2
What I thought I was getting was a DECORATING book about seashore style. What I got was a book about lots of ditsy little crafts projects -- but nothing on overall decorating. If you want little crafty projects, the book is fine; if you want a decorating book, look elsewhere.

well worth the investment of $$ and time to read it....5
Seashore Style is a great reference book for people who enjoy living by the ocean - or even inland lake. It gives one some very good ideas on decorating seashore-style.......

In fact, I decorated my guest bedroom seashore-style and it's just charming. I think it's now my favorite room in my house.

I don't live by the seashore, but I wish that I did - and this little guestroom makes me feel a little closer to the ocean.

"Seashore Style" is placed in a predominent spot in the guest room for all to enjoy who stay over.

Enjoy!

Decoratively, ruggedly, and nautically worn...5
...Are the objects brought together in this seaside photographic adventure, which focuses on the old and weathered rather than the new and convenient style of seaside living. The settings are for the most in the famous seaside huts of the British Isles, but the whimsical and practical ideas presented apply as well to classic "shantytown" communities such as Wildewood, New Jersey and other rugged American coastal getaways. This book is more a photographic essay than a decorating guide for the average shore dweller or the lavish beach houses currently in vogue; but the suggestions can easily be applied to porches, studios, lofts or small outbuildings one knows not quite what to do with. Children will enjoy the nature craft aspect of the projects, and adults will appreciate the help with making the most of spartan waterfront living. In my opinion, this book is most valuable as a relaxer, a lovely something to sit down with and read at leisure when an escape from the daily grind is in order.
