Coastal Modern { Tim Clarke}

Hello lovlie's, If you love the coastal living lifestyle, and I know you do... and the fabulous designer Tim Clarke, then you are going to love his new book Coastal Modern. If you didn't make it for the launch party in Hawaii, fear not, because Casa Sugar  scored an interview with Tim, and got a tour of one of the homes featured in his book.
 There isn't anything that Tim has done that I don't like, and from what I can see this is no exception. His coastal modern is modern without being too stiff and cold and his coastal is coastal  without being too kitschy. I call it "Coastal Cool"
 This featured  home is a 1928 Craftstman style home in Santa Monica, CA. Coastal modern embodies the mixture of old and new; furnishings, patterns and texture with the use of colors that represent the sun, sand, water and sky. I am a huge fan and looking forward to buying this and adding to my collection.

Lynn Morgan's Savannah Row House

 Not only does my design crush Lynn Morgan live where I am from in CT, but she also has a house not far from where I live now!! I was thrilled to find out that she has a row house  in the  historic district of Savannah Georgia. Why wouldn't she? It is so beautiful.  When she designed the Greek Revival house,that was built in 1853.   she kept in mind the architectural detail, and added some period pieces to highlight that period  while implementing a feminine, modern feel that is a perfect balance of coastal elegance and  comfortable glamor. Lynn never gets in wrong in my book. I need to find out where her house is the next time I am in Savannah!

 

Perfection!
