Island Hopping - by Amanda Lindroth (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

From the Bahamas to Great Cranberry Island, Maine, Amanda Lindroth's interiors embody the laid-back, easy-breezy, sun-kissed spirit of island living

"Page through Amanda Lindroth's Island Hopping, full of Caribbean estates she's elevated with sherbet colors, cabana stripes, and batik, and you'll swear you feel a cross breeze." --Martha Stewart Living

White canvas, boldly colored fabrics in solids, stripes, and jaunty prints, rattan and cane seating, whitewashed or colorfully painted English case furniture, canopied beds, straw matting--these are some of the signature ingredients of an Amanda Lindroth interior.

Since she founded her Nassau-based firm in 2010, she has become the go-to designer of island dwellers from Lyford Cay to Antigua, Abaco to Belize, Harbour Island to Palm Beach, and as far north as Great Cranberry Island, Maine. Her airy, relaxed, indoor-outdoor aesthetic is apparent in every one of the twenty-five projects featured here.

With photographs by Tria Giovan, herself an island native, and charming illustrations by Aldous Bertram, who decorated Lindroth's pied-à-terre in Palm Beach with stunning trompe l'oeil renderings, Island Hopping: Amanda Lindroth Design is the visual equivalent of an island getaway.

"A portrait of modern-day life in the tropics that rivals the enchantment of Slim Aaron's photographs of glamorous island life in the 1950s and '60s." --Veranda

Over 325 beautiful full-color illustrations
