French Seaside Style….. by Sebastien Siraudeau

A divine book which is just right for Mother’s day! ‘It celebrates the enduring popularity of nautically inspired interiors, with a French twist. Azure blue skies and sparkling waves on the horizon are the perfect counterpoints to the bright and cheery interiors inspired by life at the seaside. Sun-drenched terraces are accessorized with nautical details including smooth bits of sea glass, rows of sand dollars, and miniature sailboats on the windowsill. Driftwood centerpieces remind us of the beauty and simplicity of nature.  Stepping inside, the rooms are equally inviting with earth tones and bright touches, accessorized with the classically popular icons-anchors, buoys, lighthouses, seashells-that carry the theme throughout the home.
Miniature vials of sand, each labeled with the date and location where they were collected, bring back memories of carefree holidays spent by the sea
The overall sense of these interiors creates a relaxed sense of well-being that feeds the soul. These interiors are brimming with inspiration for how to bring serenity and joy into any home.’
