Waterside Living: Inspirational Homes by Lakes, Rivers, and the Ocean by Leslie Geddes-Brown, ISBN 1841722138
From a Paris houseboat to a Caribbean villa, from a Maine log cabin to a Sydney penthouse, the homes celebrated here reflect their settings. Colors, furniture, and artifacts bring the qualities of water indoors -- from a still-life of pebbles and driftwood to a palette of soft blues and greens.

Garden Getaways: Havens at Home
Outdoor rooms have become more popular than ever, and these remarkable designs show how to turn any garden into a personal paradise.
Every one of these nature-filled spaces, created by major architect Michael Glassman, provides a haven for relaxation, an escape from the stress and strain of daily life. Just looking at the superb color photographs will give a gardener inspiration and spark the desire to redesign. On stunning display are candlelit backyards with comfortable furniture, terraces with a calming view, soothing water features and pools, walls that block out the world and ensure privacy, and flowers and shrubbery to delight the eye. Glassman explains in detail how he came to construct each one, carefully listing the problems he encountered along the way, from poor drainage to major erosion to direct sun, and how he solved them. A planting list accompanies each layout.
