Bright colors, floral patterns, and cottage styles are all design
choices associated with the Florida Keys. Key West, one of the most
famous tropical islands in the world, embodies the ideas of the Florida
Keys while also presenting its own style and culture. In Leslie
Linsley's Key West Cottages and Gardens, lovers of the Key West
architectural and design style will get a chance to look at beautiful
photos of tropical homes as well as learn tips for living on the island
from Leslie and residents. Key West is home to a year-round population
of about 35,000 with over one million travelers visiting throughout the
year. Leslie's intimate interviews with residents allow readers a peek
into what Key West cottage living is really like, even some of the
potential challenges. The interviews and photos in this book will show
how people live in all different styles of cottages. Whether you're a
local who has made Key West home and want to learn new tips for living
in your smaller, outdoor-friendly space or a tourist who loves the
feeling and visuals of the Key West lifestyle, this book has you
covered. Photos by Tamara Alvarez and home styling by Michael Pelkey.
