Coastal havens designed for laid-back living.

The idea of a retreat―a place removed from one’s daily stressors, a secluded haven to be enjoyed by family--is more appealing than it has been in decades. But second homes are far from a novel concept. Families have built retreats since the late 1800s, when the well-to-do began to construct reprieves in coastal areas to escape the combustive atmosphere of city life. Homes on the water have been coveted and cherished for their particular restorative qualities. In an oceanside house, one can’t help but pause to contemplate the view.

At Home on the Water?offers a history of coastal living and features twelve homes on the water on both coasts and?the gulf. This stunning title focuses on both the design of the homes and the way the homeowners live in them, embellished by interviews with?homeowners, designers, and/or?architects.

Author: Barclay Butera

Accessible, luxe home design and furnishings that express who you are and the experiences of your life featuring a rich layering of pattern, color, and texture.

Barclay Butera presents new work through 15 homes and tells the story of the new traditional style. As Barclay say, “Good design to me is a combination of yours, mine and ours. I believe there should be history in a room, whether it be a piece of art, a vintage rug or a family heirloom.” In The New Traditional Barclay shares homes with an artful inclusion of heritage pieces that blend seamlessly alongside distinctive furnishings, pattern-on-pattern fabrics and bold textures – all elements of Barclay’s iconic style. Butera cites the power of living in a beautiful environment and the positive effect of surrounding yourself with the things you love has on you. Classic design with a fresh twist – flawlessly integrated into traditional, transitional and contemporary interiors alike, these homes emphasize alluring architecture, luxurious furnishings and intricate craftsmanship to be enjoyed daily by their owners.

Taking a room-by-room approach, Chris describes the essentials of creating coziness from the colors to use, the textiles to incorporate, the decorative accessories and lighting to include, and how to bring a sense of personality and uniqueness to your own space. Using natural, or pre-loved and re-purposed objects is an important element of this ethos. Wherever you live, in an urban apartment, town house, or country cottage, Chris will inspire you to bring comfort and happiness into your space whether by creating a welcoming wreath for the front door made from foraged items, kitchen curtains made from old vintage quilts, eco-friendly natural cleaning products, or lavender bags and scented candles…

Your home will become a sanctuary, a home for the soul surrounded by the things you love, a place you will long to return to at the end of the day and one that is kind to the planet too.
