Description

With a foreword by Miles Redd, this luxurious decorating resource trains the eye to recognize enduring, quality home goods and to use them to dazzling design effect. Quality matters. Just as a home’s foundation should be built to stand the test of time, so, too, should the furniture, objects, and elements of our rooms speak to an enduring sense of beauty and comfort. They should outlast trends and our loving day-to-day use. But how does one recognize quality and judge whether something is well made? Christiane Lemieux set out to answer this question by interviewing the world’s greatest experts. Weaving together the insights and guidance of dozens of wallpaper and paint specialists, textile fabricators, accessories artisans, and interior designers, Lemieux has curated an unparalleled education in recognizing the hallmarks of timeless, heirloom-quality pieces. Hundreds of elegant home interiors—both iconic examples from the past and stunning residences today-- represent the range of luxurious and customized environments that can be created with fine décor.

  • Fabulous Looking, Fabulous Content
Format: Hardcover
This is a very substantial and good looking book. I was lucky enough to get one that wasn't mangled in shipment as most books I've ordered from Amazon are. It's packed full of fabulous photos of gorgeous Interiors. It was 50% off the MSRP of $60 but I wouldn't have felt cheated if I'd paid full price. Fantastic deal and I'm very pleased with the purchase. ... show more
