About the Item

An Entertaining Life: Designing Town and Country By: Paolo Moschino, Philip Vergeylen Foreword by Bunny Williams 250 color illustrations ISBN: 978-0-86565-426-6 Hardcover Join two of the world’s most celebrated designers, Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen, as they share the inspirations and stories behind their life and work in London, the English countryside, and beyond. Entertaining in town and country is an essential part of the life and work of design gurus Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen —as revealed in this personal and sumptuously illustrated book. Inviting us to share in a typical week, Moschino and Vergeylen guide us through their West Sussex and London homes in a lively exploration of design, lifestyle, and inspiration, alongside a look at some recent client projects—from a Balinese-style compound in the Caribbean to a palatial villa in Sicily. Featuring guest rooms, an office, and formal gardens, the duo’s home in West Sussex is more than simply a weekend escape. It is the perfect space for a combined lifestyle of relaxing, entertaining, and working. The London apartment, too, is witness to many a stylish dinner for clients and friends, characterized by an infectious delight in ever-changing table-settings. A selection of recipes is included to accompany entertaining-related stories. With imagery from some of the design world’s best photographers, this beguiling volume invites you to enjoy an intimate experience of beauty, adventure, and the unexpected.

Decorating with Carpets A Fine Foundation Book by Heather MacIsaac
Located in New York, NY
Decorating with Carpets A Fine Foundation By: Ashley Stark Kenner and Chad Stark with Heather MacIsaac In decoration, a carpet’s influence is never outsized. In fact, more than any other element of a room, and as the largest and most expensive component of any design scheme, the effect a carpet has on a space is every bit as great as its size. Decorators have long recognized the importance of a fine carpet, its impact on the colors and textures of a space, its contribution to creating an atmosphere, its feel of luxury, and, with the best examples, its lasting value. Despite their essential role as the bedrock of any design scheme, beautiful carpets have lived in the shadows of recognition. Decorating with Carpets: A Fine Foundation aims to change that oversight, tapping the extensive and remarkable archive of Stark Carpet for interior design’s greatest examples. Over the course of its 75 years, Stark Carpet, the premier purveyor of carpets to the trade in the country, has worked with the each era’s most notable designers, from Billy Baldwin and Dorothy Draper to Sister Parish and Albert Hadley to Mark Hampton and Mario Buatta to contemporary leading lights such as Diamond Baratta, Victoria Hagan, Katie Ridder, and Stephen Gambrel...

Ray Booth: The Expressive Home: Architecture and Interiors Author Ray Booth, with Judith Nasatir For his second book, Booth, a master of modern elegance, creates homes that are strikingly sophisticated and wonderfully livable at the same time. Booth showcases his innovative and sophisticated modern interiors, which mix a keen sense of tranquility with bold and elegant details, as well as homes renovated inside and out, and houses designed and decorated from the foundations up. Both his exteriors and interiors display a harmonious blend of traditional and contemporary elements, resulting in an appealingly timeless aesthetic. This exquisitely designed tome presents his forward-thinking vision. The spectacular projects featured span the country from coast to coast—from a dramatic Los Angeles hillside dwelling with expansive windows to a contemporary Nashville home that marries brick, metal, and wood. For his own Provincetown seaside getaway, he has chosen an unexpected cutting-edge style. These projects show how he pushes the boundaries of design while imbuing spaces with soul. About The Author Architecturally trained designer Ray Booth is a partner of the prestigious McALPINE firm who divides his time between Nashville and New York City.

Heidi Caillier: Memories of Home: Interiors
Located in New York, NY
In her debut book, designer Heidi Caillier shows how to mix moody color with layers of pattern, natural materials, and textures to create spaces that are both beautifully curated and comfortably livable.

In her first book, she shares twelve houses from across the country, from the islands of Puget Sound to the Berkshires. The rooms of these houses are simultaneously nostalgic and of the moment. Caillier is a master of mixing patterns, combining florals with graphic lines and shapes, as well as using deeper, muddy colors to create coziness and warmth. There is a tension between masculine and feminine...
