And that sense of comfort and permanence permeates all these well appointed interiors, carefully made furnishings, and judiciously placed accessories. Everything has a pleasing sense of proportion and order, from the warm colors to the traditional textiles to the finishing touches. Find out about doing period restoration, try the many practical ideas for capturing the essence of this look, and feel inspired by the magnificent homes showcased in hundreds of photographs. It's the definitive book on American decorating. "Beautifully illustrated with photographs of contemporary interiors...takes a look at how the American Colonial style has been interpreted today. Recommended."--Library Journal
