Island Living : Inland Retreats and Shoreside Havens (Hardcover)

To live on an island is to live a life apart. Author Linda Leigh Pauls Island Living captures the most charming island homes, including homes on the East Coasts Barrier Islands, the Northwests San Juan and Gulf Islands, the Pacifics Hawaiian Islands, and the Great Lakes Apostle Islands, among other homes on privately owned or low-density islands. The island home reflects its owners reason for escape, whether its a person who turns to island living to feel more of this world, or the person who wishes to remove himself from the mainstream. Regardless, the island homeowner is individualistic and creative, and every space in Island Living speaks of a space that is its owners dream come to life, be it simplicity or utter luxury. With more than 150 images and written in the transporting and distinctive tone that Pauls readers have come to expect, Island Living is a book of fantasythe home that is both refuge and wish embodied.
