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.

Pretty Spine for Styling Never opened the book, probably never will. Purchased for styling purposes only. 5 stars from an aesthetic perspective! Posting picture so others in my shoes can see what the spine looks like 🙂
Interiors galore Great book. Beautiful pictures. The best part about this book though is probably the details provided by the author. In terms of history as well as details regarding the artists behind the pieces/work that is included. Which makes this book a great resource for use by you or your friends should you be lucky enough to be able to afford to commission some of them.Overall a great purchase. Not giving it 5 stars because of shipment issues by Amazon. The book arrived with tears on the spine…
Looks different in person Eh. I got this for a cocktail table book. The picture is really misleading. The color of the front cover isnât good shiny metallic. Itâs very muted. I flipped through it and it has good history and info. More tranditional styles, it wasnât worth the cost to me. Donât get it as a cocktail book. Only get it if your in the industry or die hard decorator and plan to read it. I may return it just because my sole purpose of getting it was for the shiny cover in the photo which it is not.
