House Beautiful Classic American Decorating

These rooms will never go out of style! Cleric decorating, by definition transcends time and place, passing fads and tastes. And that sense of comfort and permanence permeates all the well-appointed interiors, carefully made furnishings, and judiciously placed accessories you'll see here. Find out about doing period restoration, try the many practical ideas for capturing the essence of this style, and feel inspired by the many magnificent homes showcased in hundreds of photographs. It's the definitive book on traditional American decorating. Create this special look with carved moldings and mullioned windows; glazed wails and stenciled floors: furnishings as simple as a glass-topped table or as elegant as a silk-upholstered sofa; and charming details like fine china tea sets. Everything has a pleasing sense of proportion and order, from the warm colors to the traditional textiles to the finishing touches.House Beautiful Classic American Decorating, with ISBN 9781588162205 and ISBN 1588162206.
