For anyone interested in redoing a home with flair and imagination, here's a fascinating and delightful guide from two prominent British decorators. Jane Churchill and Annie Charlton each bring more than 25 years of professional experience and know-how to designing beautiful interiors.

Step-by-step photos, clear instructions, and no-nonsense advice show how to make picture frames, curtain tiebacks, silhouettes, stencil a wall or floor or sisal mat, paint furniture, and applique throw pillows. Photographs of whole room interiors suggest the many possibilities for decorating the rooms of a house - even a child's room. Organized by the main rooms and features of a home - walls and doors, floors, furniture, children's rooms, decorative objects, curtains and cushions - this book will inspire readers to take on projects large and small.

This book showcases timeless recipes and inspirations for the perfect party from cousins Nancy Astor and celebrated interior designer Nancy Lancaster, both renowned in twentieth-century Britain for entertaining with style, sophistication, and joie de vivre. Featuring original photography that highlights glam-orous menus, interior décor, table settings, and flower arrangements, this book is an homage to joyful entertaining in the English country house style. Nancy Astor and Nancy Lancaster, both born American, were renowned as two of Britain's greatest party-givers, excelling at gracious entertaining, witty repartee, and above all sophisticated menus--talents rooted in their upbringing at Mirador, their Albemarle County, Virginia, family estate known for its superb food. &nbsp; &nbsp;The recent discovery of the original Mirador recipe collection, together with materials from Astor's and Lancaster's archives, provides the basis for this book, a collaboration between descendants of both women. With 75 recipes, the book showcases menus that combine classic English dishes with Southern Amer-ican classics such as corn fritters, fried chicken, and Pullman salad. &nbsp; Photographed at Cliveden, Nancy Astor's country house, and Nancy Lancaster's several homes, the book features the family's original china, silver, and décor. Peppered throughout are previously unseen family photographs.

Interior Transformations

We have never demanded so much from our homes—not only must they satisfy the myriad practical needs of modern life, we also want them to express our tastes and personal style. Paint and fabrics do not simply cover and protect, they must evoke the right atmosphere, creating a feeling of relaxation or activity or comfort. In this book the author discusses the vital decisions that need to be made about space, light, color, surfaces, fabrics, and furniture, not just looking at the different materials and techniques but at the effects they create. These lessons are then applied to every area of the home, from hallways to bathrooms, and explanations of how to create a range of fresh and achievable interior styles are provided. In the final chapter clever ideas for revitalizing rooms are offered without the need for a complete redesign.
