Average Customer Ratings:
Henrietta Spencer-Churchill, 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.

Summary: Another lovely and useful decorating book for today
Comment: I love H. Spencer-Churchill's books on interior decorating and this one is extra helpful. Instead of focusing on historical homes that make us drool, this book showcases wonderful rooms and ideas for turning your own home of today into that historical look. What to do with lighting? For the oriental look add tassels, beads and fringes, or lampstands with animal figurines. For the delicate look find draping overhead crystal chandeliers. Who says having a toaster on an old hutch doesn't work? She shows you how to mix and blend for the right look and everyday usefullness you want out of your home, while turning it into what looks like an historical masterpiece. Lots of nice ideas here. I hope she now goes forward and does one for the Victorian period! I had five of her books...this one is getting added to the bookcase, permanently!

Summary: Unfortunately, it's just "OK" ...
Comment: I had high hopes for this book. I have over 1000 books, and had preordered this one. However, if I had been able to see it in a store before ordering, I would not have purchased it. It's just "OK", nothing spectacular. I love her other books, but to me this book seems like it was produced simply to fulfill a commitment to the publisher. My advice: LOOK through the book in a store BEFORE buying from Amazon. You may like it enough to purchase. But don't feel like you are missing something great if you DON'T buy it.
