Editorial Reviews: Product Description In her previous six books, celebrated author and designer Tricia Foley has introduced readers to such romantic and old-fashioned pleasures as Having Tea and a White Christmas. Now, in Sailing Style, she pays homage to the romantic and historical influence of seafaring traditions on home design. Combining a look backward with her own trademark and forward-looking style—fresh, simple, and inimitable—Foley offers design inspiration for all those who long for a cottage by the sea. Every chapter showcases both the practical design solutions of sailors and sailboats as well as living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and design details that express a nautical style. “Setting Sail” reveals the functional beauty of sailboats and their basic elements—wood, cloth, and rope. “Shipshape” demonstrates how onboard necessities such as decks, skylights, bunks, and galleys worked their way into homes on land. In “A Seafaring Legacy,” Foley captures the timeless appeal of such marine details as brass hardware, maps, and weather vanes. Finally, “Coastal Living” explores the allure of lighthouses and boathouses, not only as vernacular architecture but as converted contemporary homes. A resource section provides valuable direction for finding stores, ports of call, and suitable nautical reading. In the first book to examine our sailing heritage in culture and as a lifestyle, Foley has also created a nostalgic wish book and design guide for an enduring approach to everyday living. In Sailing Style, the lure of the sea has never been more irresistible.

Customer Reviews: Mostly non-relevant photos March 1, 2007 James Preston (Santa Clara, CA United States) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful As usual with these idea books they fill over half the book with photos that are not relevant to residential interiors. I don't need to look at a bunch of lighthouses and sail boats serenely at anchor. Most of the interiors create a nautical ambiance with paintings of tall ships. OK, we've all figured that out long ago. Again, more wasted space, along with narrative that we don't need. After filling the book with all that easy stuff it saves them, author and editor, the effort of knocking on doors and really finding innovative nautical interiors. However, there are about five scenes that are worth buying the book for. They are innovative and capture the essence of a yacht interior but in a house. Those few scenes increased my rating by two stars.
