Santa Fe Sense of Place

Rich, romantic, inspiring and authentic, Santa Fe Sense of Place is a private tour through some of the most beautiful homes in Santa Fe. An interior designer with decades of stunning work, Jane Smith has curated a fascinating collection of both home styles and Santa Fe personalities, offering a rare window into life in the City Different. Artistically capturing the timeless appeal of Santa Fe's eclectic style, this hardcover book is a treasure trove of interior design inspiration. Within these pages, Smith graciously introduces the reader to the people who inhabit these enchanting Southwest environments, and with each intriguing home comes an intimate introduction written by the owners themselves. The lush photography by Dominique Vorillon and Peter Vitale brings this elegant coffee table book to life, while the variety of design and architectural styles, art, accessories, and interior furnishings happily nourish the creative spirit. Come for the gorgeous design and architectural inspiration, but stay for the revealing tales of the people who have chosen to call Santa Fe their home. An interior design book with as much heart as aesthetic soul, this is a must-have for anyone who loves large format art books, and of course the indescribable magic of Santa Fe. "Jane Smith saw in these homes not just beauty, but stories in need of telling. Lives are lived in these spaces, and this intimate connection to home is communicated in the stunning photographs that accompany their personal stories. In several houses, you will find an effortless mixing of styles not often found together: European, Native American, Mexican, African, confidently placed inside the embrace of intimate spaces. Those drawn to a place such as Santa Fe are natural explorers, pioneers, and way makers. As the photographs attest, the owners are not shy about their passion for exploring and collecting, and the interior spaces reflect the owner’s point of view informed by the place: Santa Fe." – Pamela Kelly
