Coffee-table books that radiate style. Our favorite is the new 30A Style, written by Eleanor Lynn Nesmith and photographed by Jean Allsopp. It captures the heart of 30A through interior design. (Sundog Books. Seaside, Fla. www.sundogbooks.com)

Retro accent trunks. These medium and large vintage-style trunks are the perfect addition to any room, porch, or patio. Use them anywhere as decorative storage pieces or stack them next to a chair for an instant side table. (EJG Interiors. Grayton Beach, Fla. 850-231-6806)

Colorful accent planters. A yellow porcelain planter is the perfect pop of color in any home or garden. Display it empty or as a unique vessel to showcase your favorite long-stemmed greenery or plants. (Bastide Home and Garden. Santa Rosa Beach, Fla. www.bastidehomeandgarden.com)
