Intimate Home: Creating a Private World

Escape the stress and strain of daily life in a space of your own. All it takes is a little imaginative decorating and "emotional furnishings" devoted to your personal pursuits. For example, you might put a basket with stationery and a pen next to the sofa, or install a cushioned window seat for solitary reverie. Bedrooms and baths emphasize grace and light. Superb colour photographs accompany the text, which includes writings from beloved authors such as Virginia Woolf, Balzac, and Saki.
