Respected author and designer Lady Henrietta SpencerChurchills newest book inspires us to incorporate timetested design principles into modern living. A noted authority on period homes and historic styles, Henrietta SpencerChurchill celebrates the life of great rooms over the years and the evolution of their architectural features and interior decoration. Featuring a stunning selection of historic homes in both England and the United States, The Life of the House reveals the best of architectural and furnishing details from the last three hundred years, with ideas on updating these spaces for modern times. The book is organized by room, including the living room, from formal reception rooms to the modernday family room; the library, once a gentlemans retreat and now often a home office or den; the dining room, once a formal status symbol, now frequently a casual openplan room; and the kitchen, once a servants area, now a multifunctional family space. Chapters on creative modern uses of such traditional rooms as ballrooms and conservatories are also included. With photographs of exquisite interiors from every important historical period and SpencerChurchills fascinating text revealing life behind the scenes in these houses, this book is filled with creative ideas on incorporating traditional style into contemporary settings.
