Author's Review
The pure essence of coastal living isnt found in a specific locale but, rather, in a state of mind. Regardless of whether you find yourself landlocked on a farm in the Midwest, in a log cabin high in the Colorado Rockies, or surviving the frozen tundra in central Alaska, if the comfort and casual feel of a seaside existence appeals to you, it can be yours.
It is about the sun-kissed colors that have mellowed over time. It is about the textures, such as grasscloth or cotton duck, that blend crispness with subtle, casual style. It is the incorporation of natural elements -- water, plants, earth -- to integrate and dissolve the delineation of indoors and out. It is the addition of sisal and ceiling fans, rockers and linen, driftwood and straw hats that evoke those memories of warm ocean breezes and sand between your toes.
Coastal Living brings it all together in each and every issue. It explores the laid-back, casual style that coastal is all about, and offers ideas and suggestions to bring coastal home to you.
As the cover explains ... The magazine for people who love the coast. If that includes you, Coastal Living should be on your coffee table today.
