Love Shacks

What could be more romantic than watching the sun rise and set or star gazing at night from a stylish little getaway in the wilderness? Susan Redman explores this desire from the perspective of holiday homeowners throughout the world. In this beautifully illustrated book, journalist, editor and stylist Susan Redman inspires design aficionados and romantics alike to escape the urban jungle for a holiday home of one’s own making in a remote or wild location. Featuring 23 beautiful properties, from architecturally sublime modern escapes and restored rustic retreats to cool cabins and charming cottages, Love Shacks provides readers with an authentic perspective as Redman delves deeply to reveal the personal stories of creative couples and individuals who have built, styled or restored their special hideaways. Redman also explores the role of design in these gorgeous getaway homes across Europe, the Americas and Australasia. The “shack” owners share their creative visions and decorating tips on how they, and you, can awaken one’s inner stylist by combing the natural environment, local markets, and vintage fairs to source love shack treasures. This compelling book features stunning photographs and interesting notes on the wild and natural setting of each love shack, so you too can immerse yourself in the gorgeous surrounds of each home and find out how the people who live there connect with nature. Loves Shacks is the perfect gift for design enthusiasts, dreamers, romantics and those who want to find sanctuary in nature.
