SPENCER-CHURCHILL, Henrietta Inscribed: Best wishes May 2009 [176] pp. Rizzoli 2008 12" x 9 1/2" Noted authority on using traditional style in contemporary settings, examines how the Georgian era is inspiring today's interiors. Associated by most Americans with Colonial Williamsburg or Jefferson's Monticello, the Georgian style confers a sense of comfortable luxury that makes any home a haven, as well as a showcase. Proceeding room by room, she examines how updated Georgian style relates to contemporary living. In addition to the staple interior spaces such as living room, kitchen, and bedroom, the book uncovers new applications of Georgian style in such contemporary "must-haves" like home offices, media rooms, fitness rooms, and the transformation of the bath into the home spa. Each chapter is illustrated with photographs that demonstrate the meaning of pleasing proportions and good layouts, complete with detail shots of fabric swatches, color samples, and drawings from the author s design portfolio. A key feature is the focus on design flow to bring consistency to the entire home, and how to juggle spaces for the less formal, family-friendly orientation that is the hallmark of contemporary living. Applying classic design principles to indoor/outdoor lifestyles and eco-friendly living is also discussed. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 35329
