Effortlessly combining bohemian chic style and family living, the fashionable couple serve up fun and practical design tips from their beachfront vacation home. Well known to their fans through their reality TV shows (on HGTV and Bravo) and various home decor lines (Macy’s, CB2, and Walmart), designers Robert and Cortney Novogratz’s third book is dedicated to one of their favorite places to spend time with their sizable brood: their vacation home in the sleepy beach outpost of Trancoso, Brazil. Transforming a ramshackle house into a sanctuary for family and friends, we see the Novogratzes’ relaxed and family-focused style in its purest and most laid-back form. Brimming with great decorating and entertaining ideas that easily translate from vacation vibe to "real life" back at home, the gracious couple excel at living well, in sandals and bare feet, and never sweating the small stuff. In addition to offering up terrific decoration suggestions for every room in the house and the outdoors (including a treehouse!), they have advice on how to make your vacation home pay for itself—advising that small touches add up in big ways when creating the most enjoyable experience for guests and renters—and traveling with kids—with seven of their own, it’s a subject they have mastered.

This ebook has a fixed layout and is best viewed on a widescreen, full-colour tablet. Modern beachside style is more than shells and surfboards. Whether the inspiration comes from nautical themes, natural elements, winter moods or the charm of the Mediterranean, the priority is always comfort and tranquility. It doesn't matter if you don't live near the beach - the spirit can be captured anywhere. In this second book in the Style Study series, interior designer Lauren Li takes a deep dive into the best examples of the Beachside Modern look to discover what makes the aesthetic so appealing. From remote Tasmanian beaches and the glamorous French Riviera to a chilly Danish archipelago and the laid-back vibes of California, Li explores the work of leading architects and designers to reveal how they do it.
