All About

One woman is on a mission to save a little bit of history on Tybee Island, Georgia. We'll meet Jane Coslick, who is bringing the old cottages back to life and loving every minute of it. Next see how Don Silvers, a.k.a. "Dr. Kitchen," takes kitchen design to a new level by having form follow function. We'll see how he makes kitchens a pleasure to look at and work in. Our Mystery House is the Barnacle House, built in 1891 along Florida's Biscayne Bay by Commodore Ralph Monroe, a yacht designer who designed 56 yachts during his career. Next, learn how waterfront development has been rampant in historic Annapolis, Maryland, yet the foresight of one landowner has preserved the feel of real waterfront living for a small community cooperative. Finally, see how an architect in South Carolina has dared to stand up against Mother Nature by designing a beachfront house that can handle the abuse of coastal living, from salt air to hurricane-force winds.
