Palm Beach Chic
Great Coffee Table Book. Wonderful Photography
Product Description Palm Beach interiors have long reflected the travels, penchants, and whimsies of the town’s worldly inhabitants. Today, residents of this tiny barrier island call upon world-class designers to create homes that are testaments to what can be achieved when inspired by the natural beauty of a unique locale and when imagination is one’s only limitation. In Palm Beach Chic, Jennifer Ash Rudick leads the tour of newly restored Mediterranean Revival houses by Mizner, Fatio, and Volk, charming cottages, Moorish casbahs, and vintage condos. Lush photographs capture extraordinary gardens, verandas, lakeside pavilions, a rustic ranch, and simple pastel houses sheltered by dense thickets of Norfolk pines and age-old banyans. It is this eclectic mix of old and new, of Spanish and Caribbean, of contemporary design and sun-faded WASP thrift, that makes Palm Beach chic. Review "Jennifer Ash Rudick's new book presents inspiring Palm Beach style. . . . Palm Beach Chic delivers just the right dose of trellis-patterned walls and flamingo-pink rattan mixed in with a sobering bit of poolside minimalism."-- Architectural Digest "[A] must-read book of the season. . . . Filmmaker and longtime Palm Beach-resident Jennifer Ash Rudick leads a tour through 23 homes that show how the Gilded Age town has changed into the 21st century."-- Departures "It's all so Palm Beach style--grand verandas that lead to perfectly manicured lawns, chic wicker furniture that seems as natural indoors as it does outside, and, of course, a sophisticated preppiness that is never overwrought. Rudick, and ultimate insider to the scene, chronicles signature touches in the elegant escapes of worldly residents in one of the nation's most exclusive enclaves."-- Traditional Home "Thanks to the town's worldly inhabitants and antiques-rich culture, Palm Beach homes display a slew of different design vernaculars. This book lets readers peek inside 25 homes, from sprawling Mediterranean stunners to cozy cottages enveloped in tropical flora." -- Coastal Living" "...it's magnificence all the way... get your sunglasses out now, as jungle prints, blowly chintzes, and not enough rattan to restock the rainforest abound." -- Wall Street Journal, What to Give About the Author Jennifer Ash Rudick is author of Tropical Style: Private Palm Beach and a contributing editor to Veranda magazine.
