In Veere Grenney: Seeking Beauty, the revered English fabric and interior designer welcomes us into his three spectacular homes. World-renowned interior visionary Veere Grenney takes us on an in-depth tour of his impressive residences in Tangier; Suffolk, England; and, for the first time, his new London home. The book begins with his beloved Tangerine villa-a decade-long labor of love and must-see for all garden enthusiasts, completed with the help of friend and expert in wild garden design Umberto Pasti and a regency gazebo designed by architect Cosimo Sesti. Next, we visit the Temple, his 18th-century Suffolk "pocket Palladian" set within the parkland of Tendring Hall and with views of the fishing lake and geranium-filled garden. Grenney called this picturesque sanctuary home for much of 2020. Finally, with exclusive photographs and annotations, Grenney opens the doors for the very first time to his brand-new London home. Grenney has been praised by Schumacher creative director Dara Caponigro as knowing "when to pull out the stops and when to show quiet restraint, creating interiors that are, at once, serene and exciting and never forgetting that rooms should be comfortable and liveable." This elegant volume showcases his skill in marrying traditional styles with contemporary living, and how his spectacular career has influenced the styling of his personal spaces.

Warum ein plattdeutsches Freundschaftsbuch?Ein solches Büchlein hält etliche Angaben über deine Freundinnen und Freunde fest, die sie sogar über sich selbst oder dich preisgegeben haben. Sie werden auch ihre guten Wünsche für dich aufschreiben oder Gemeinsamkeiten zum Ausdruck bringen.Jederzeit kannst du da hineinschauen, dich daran erfreuen und an die schönen Seiten dieser Beziehungen erinnern.FreundschaftFreundschaft ist etwas Wunderbares, etwas Kostbares, das sich zwischen Menschen, ob jung oder alt, entwickeln kann. Sie ist ein Schatz, der gehütet und gepflegt werden muss.Schon in dem Lied "Ein Freund, ein guter Freund" ..., das unter anderem von den Comedian Harmonists gesungen wurde, ist von dem "Besten ... auf der Welt" die Rede.Auch bei Freddy Quinn geht es in seinem Song "Du brauchst doch immer wieder einen Freund ..." um hohe Werte, die eine Freundschaft ausmachen: Treue, Ehrlichkeit, Mitgefühl und Uneigennützigkeit.Und selbst die Rockband Queen singt "Friends will be friends".Für "Freund" kann und muss natürlich genauso "Freundin" stehen! Die Freundschaft ist unabhängig davon, ob du Mann oder Frau, Mädchen oder Junge bist. Sie kann sich im Kindergarten ereignen, in der Schule, im Berufsleben oder sogar erst im Alter.Die Freundschaft lässt sich nicht erzwingen, sie ergibt sich; aber man sollte sich nicht vor ihr verschließen, sondern für sie bereit sein, ja, man kann sie durchaus suchen.Es kommt nicht darauf an, möglichst viele Freundschaften zu schließen; auch einige wenige wertvolle sind bereits ein hohes Gut. Dieses sollte aber geschätzt und gehütet werden.

Following her success with Nora Murphy’s Country House Style, Murphy celebrates a selection of homes and their homeowners, each exemplifying a different style.For Nora Murphy, a country house isn’t so much a place as it is a state of mind. A country house is warm, welcoming—at once down to earth, yet elegant. A country house has genuine character, tells a story, and is truly, wonderfully lived in. Here Murphy explores the tenets of country house style, as illustrated by her own “new” country house, and the many other striking homes she has curated for the book. Each one of these homeowners has embraced country house style—but each implements it in their own unique way. There is a pastoral 1732 center-chimney colonial in Connecticut nestled in spectacular gardens, a cozy cottage on the coast of Maine rich with local details, and an 1840s Greek Revival in the Hudson Valley filled with romantic Victorian ephemera. Common threads weave through the stories: the thrill of the antiques hunt, the role of history, and the priority of comfort.Filled with practical ways to celebrate American country style, beautifully designed with a ribbon bookmark, and written in the author’s warm and effusive voice, this book will inspire readers to create a country house lifestyle wherever they live.

Designer and writer Valorie Hart and photographer Sara Essex Bradley have sought out spectacular residences that represent the best of old bohemian New Orleans—domiciles that serve both as inspiration and as an imaginative balm to all that is unappealingly conventional and cookie-cutter in design today. Ranging from a Garden District cottage to a Civil War–era Creole mansion, all the homes feature elements of elegance and eccentricity, old French furniture and vintage finds, colors only produced by local light. The free spirits who own these homes have a lust for all the arts, from music to dance, painting, and fine cuisine. They include an artist in a crumbling garret, an eccentric dreamer, a voodoo queen, moneyed wayfarers, world travelers, a resourceful magpie, bon vivants, gypsies, and old souls—all united in their love of the chipped and tattered, romantic and resplendent.This book is a valentine to a New Orleans that is disappearing, a last call to remember, appreciate, and repeat and revive its great bohemian soul.

"Inviting us into her impressive grounds with charming personal anecdotes, expert advice, and creative ideas for how to bring natural elements into the home, this is a testament to Bunny Williams' love affair with the garden and woodlands surrounding her eighteenth-century manor house in Northwestern Connecticut. A popular stop on the Garden Conservancy circuit, Williams' property boasts a parterre garden, year-round conservatory, extensive vegetable garden, orchard, woodlands, an aviary with exotic fowl, and a rustic poolside Greek Revival-style folly. Each section of the garden is accompanied by a directory of featured plants--from native ferns and succulents to a wide variety of flowering specimens. Stunning photographs -- printed on two different specialty stocks -- illustrate every aspect of the garden in different lights and seasons; during big parties and intimate gatherings. Throughout, the revered designer shows us how she incorporates nature in her interiors: in stunning floral arrangements, unique tablescapes, and elaborate holiday vignettes -- where a rescued bird's nest commands as much attention as a prized collector's item. Whether in the intentional juxtaposition of high and low, or the considered placement of a garden bench to appreciate a particular view, home and garden together reflect the epitome of Bunny Williams' inimitable style."--
