Phoebe Howard shows design lovers how to make coastal style modern, fresh, and very much their own. She writes, “Blue connects us to nature more than any other color. But it also connects us to worlds of possibility. We gaze out at the sea, fantasizing about exotic lands, and stare up at the sky, contemplating the limitless universe. Just like the universe’s unlimited potential, blue knows no bounds. Its variations and versatility are what make it so attractive to so many. Did you know that, statistically speaking, blue is the world’s favorite color?”

Working in blue, Phoebe helps you choose wallpaper, furniture fabrics, serving ware, window treatments, and much more.

Coastal Blues is the perfect book for a coffee table, but it will be referred to again and again . . . and it makes a great gift book.
