Description
By: Caroline Gidiere
A fresh perspective on classic American interior design and practical advice on living well in our modern world, in this much-anticipated work from a rising decorator.
Gidiere’s design aesthetic is a modern take on traditional interiors, using contemporary and antique furniture with backdrops of joyful color and pattern to create spaces that are both new and classical—florals, botanical prints, rush baskets, tailored stripes, well-stocked bars, books, and comfort abound. The decorator not only presents her decorating capabilities but also shares her talents as a hostess, giving ideas on how to live and entertain in her inviting rooms.
Gidiere’s style is sophisticated and charming, taking cues from such accomplished Southern-born designers as Charlotte Moss, Miles Redd, and Celerie Kemble. The book is organized by the ways in which a house is planned and utilized: "Social Life" is centered on entryways, living rooms, and dining rooms—spaces that are designed to receive and welcome others. "Family Life" reviews kitchens, breakfast rooms, dens, and playrooms—places that are the heart and soul of the house. "Private Life" focuses on bedrooms, libraries, and studies—the sanctuaries of our day-to-day existences. "Sweet Life" celebrates how a home can be used for hospitality and entertaining, inside and out. And, "My Life" shows how Gidiere interprets the art of living well in her own home. Each section offers in-depth information on topics that include setting the table, keeping houseplants, stocking the bar, outfitting a guest room, and being party-ready. Gidiere’s aesthetic salutes interior design of the past, while interpreting it for our lives today.
