Fulfilling a lifetime dream of finding a house by the sea, Pearl Lowe now brings her laid-back decorating style to coastal living with Faded Glamour by the Sea.

Pearl Lowe's gloriously decadent yet perfectly lived-in decorating

style was featured in her bestselling interiors book Faded Glamour. Now Pearl is taking us to the coast, and in Faded Glamour by the Sea we get the first glimpse of her new home – a beautiful renovation project that she and her husband,

musician Danny Goffey, have created in East Sussex. Built in the 1940s for an artist whose shell sculptures are still dotted round the garden, the house and adjacent cabins have been lovingly restored by Pearl.

The house may have been a life-long dream for the couple,

who have always loved the solace of water, but it has only been just over a year in the making, thanks to the inspiration Pearl has drawn from many friends who live in the area and also further afield. And so she takes us on a tour of their seaside homes. A pair of antique dealers whose love of all things French inspired them to set up their own brocante in Kent; an artist with a love of beach huts; an author who swapped London life for a clifftop house with his own writer's hut. Add to this the Malibu beachfront home of stylist Rachel Ashwell, the hippy-chic style of supermodel Helena

Christensen's waterside retreat and the 'punk noir Victorian' vibe of the hotel created by friends from rock band The Libertines. In Faded Glamour by the Sea Pearl visits these properties, and as the owners tell their stories she explains how she found inspiration for this new chapter in her life.

珀尔·罗威（Pearl Lowe）实现了在海边找房子的梦想，现在通过本书将她悠闲的装饰风格带到了海边生活。

珀尔·罗威在这本畅销室内装饰书中描述了她那辉煌颓废而又理想的家居装饰风格。现在，珀尔将带我们去海岸参观她的新家，这是她和她的丈夫音乐家丹尼·戈菲（Danny Goffey）在东萨塞克斯郡建造的一个美丽的装修项目。这座房子建于20世纪40年代，是为一位艺术家建造的，他的贝壳雕塑仍然点缀在花园里，房子和相邻的小木屋经过了珀尔的精心修缮。

这座房子可能是这对夫妇一生的梦想，他们认为海可以带来慰藉，但它的建造只花了一年多的时间，这要归功于珀尔从许多住在该地区和更远地方的朋友那里获得的灵感。于是她在本书中带我们参观了这些朋友的海边家园。一对古董商对所有法国事物的热爱激发他们在肯特郡建立了自己的杂货店；一位艺术家对海滩小屋情有独钟；一位作家放弃了伦敦的生活，选择了崖顶别墅作为自己的作家小屋。此外，还有造型师瑞秋·阿什维尔（Rachel Ashwell）的马里布海滨住宅、超级名模海伦娜·克里斯滕森（Helena Christensen）嬉皮士时尚风格的水边度假屋，以及浪子乐队（The Libertines）的朋友所创建的“黑色朋克”风格的酒店。在本书中，珀尔参观了这些房子，当业主讲述他们的故事时，她解释了她是如何为她生活中的这个新篇章找到灵感的。
