In Key West: A Tropical Lifestyle, author Leslie Linsley presents the true character of this unique American place in twenty-two residences. Architecture on Florida's Key West reflects the diverse and colorful nature of those who have shaped this remote island's character: the grand classical homes of sea captains from New England, the cobbled-together wooden dwellings of ships' carpenters, the humble but charming cottages of cigar makers from Cuba. Reflecting the style and personalities of their owners, these house simultaneously respect and extend a distinctive legacy.. Engaging anecdotes drawn from interview with homeowners, designers, and architects and lush, full-color photographs reveal the historic and contemporary interiors and gardens. Today's equally varied population of artists, writers, and political figures contributes to that heritage by designing interiors and landscape that complement the vibrant tropical location, quirky isolationist tradition, and relaxed atmosphere
So Tiny This is one small book for the price I was expecting a larger table book and a fresher take on the Keys based on the cover. This book is a good representation of the old historic homes but does very little for the interior designer.. disappointing Jean DeVilbiss I guess I was expecting different homes with some of originality you hear so much about. only one or two homes were different from the rest; all the others were boring. Boring colors, boring architecture etc. Save your money here. don't buy it.. lisa said Two Stars. Beautiful coffee table book of homes of the rich and famous. But, not really what I was looking for.
