PALM BEACH Panache
is written as a room-by-room guide of the
distinct design preferences ubiquitous to the Palm Beaches.
It explores its unique palette, patterns, and textures,
with homage to the demands,
as well as the revitalizing qualities, of the ‘Sun, Sea & Air.’
Carolina walks you inside 22 homes, 15 local shops,
(one being CIRCA WHO)
gardens, and galleries to help you translate the light,
energy, and freshness of this island lifestyle into your own home.
There are more than 200 full-color photographs and rich text.
She inspires you to design and decorate, and indeed, to live with exuberance.
The design philosophy behind PALM BEACH Panache
that Carolina shares with you,
is the same in which she proudly, happily, joyfully lives 🙂
