This Valentine’s Day we are taking a virtual trip to Palm Beach, Florida, thanks to the newly released book, Palm Beach Living, written by Jennifer Ash Rudick with photography by Nick Mele.
Palm Beach Living explores the pleasures of life in the homes and gardens of the legendary tropical island of Palm Beach. Enjoy glimpses inside charming bungalows, sleek minimalist houses and apartments, iconic Mediterranean Revival residences, and heavenly gardens. Some of the homes incorporate the exuberant colors of the island’s flora; others opt for a soothing, more neutral palette to contrast with the surrounding landscape. All embrace indoor–outdoor living, and each reflects the unique aesthetic of the owner. Renowned architects include the legendary Maurice Fatio and John Volk, Daniel Kahan, Fairfax & Sammons, Jeffrey W. Smith, and David Fox & Chris Stone, along with superb landscape designers, including Mario Nievera, Jorge Sánchez, and Fernando Wong. World–class interior designers represented include Tom Scheerer, Amanda Lindroth, Mark D. Sikes, Jonathan Adler, Frank de Biasi, Mimi McMakin, the late Carleton Varney, and Kim Coleman. Guided by native Palm Beacher Jennifer Ash Rudick, with photographs by Nick Mele, “a modern–day Slim Aarons,” readers are granted an intimate look at the best in tropical living.
Pre-order your copy of Palm Beach Living today, and if you don’t have Palm Beach Chic, also by Jennifer Ash Rudick, you will want a copy of that book as well!
The furnishings are gorgeous. The flooring and newel posts are just “wow”.
The furniture is exquisite. The newel posts and flooring are really amazing.
This book looks like the ultimate escape! The contrast between Mediterranean Revival and sleek modern homes must be fascinating. As someone who adores Tom Scheerer’s work, I’m dying to see how his designs translate in these tropical settings. Any chance there’s a chapter on those iconic Palm Beach gardens? The Fernando Wong landscapes alone would be worth the purchase!
