Synopsis
"Good taste can be developed in anyone, just as surely as good manners are possible to anyone. And good taste is as necessary as good manners," declared Elsie de Wolfe, the "first lady" of American interior design. Although de Wolfe decorated the homes of wealthy, socially prominent clients, she always maintained that her vision of elegant but comfortable living is attainable to all. This timeless 1913 book, written in a friendly, conversational tone, explains how to design, furnish, and decorate a house in order to make it a beautiful, useful, and livable home. De Wolfe pioneered the concept of the home as a representation of the owner's identity, and this book defines her decorating methods, philosophy, and approach to creating spaces for gracious entertaining. Part step-by-step manual and part aesthetic treatise, this volume advocates for simpler yet more refined decor. In contrast to the Victorian penchant for dark furniture, bric-a-brac, and heavy draperies, de Wolfe advised her readers to let in natural light, to replace gaudy colors with beige and ivory, and to abandon clutter. Her practical suggestions, illustrated by period photographs, illuminate the attitudes of a century ago while retaining their resonance for modern-day interior designers., The "first lady" of American interior design defines her methods and philosophy in this timeless volume.

- r***c (509)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseHere we go again. :D First, the obvious. Memory exactly as shown and described, works great, lovely time. But now for the main feature. As always with this seller, you need to allocate a few hours on delivery day for The Great Unwrapping. The memory is so insanely well packaged it probably feels like it was taken hostage and transported in a trunk, blindfolded. No kidding, if you order memory from this seller, you can skip the gym membership. That is all. Thank you. :D
- n***b (4)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe item I received was EXACTLY what was described. Although the packaging was old, the Circular Saw Blades were in MINT condition. I would consider this seller as a TRUSTED seller. Compared to the cost of blades elsewhere these blades were worth every cent.
