Each chapter is accompanied by a description of the design process for each transformation.

My must have design books list continued….

The Great American Decorator, by Billy Baldwin
We love Billy, he is truly amazing. They called him the “Dean of American Decorating.” Billy Baldwin famously conceived Cole Porter’s dark brown library and the vibrant red cotton chintz that defined fashion editor Diana Vreeland’s apartment. His famous clients included Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Baby and Bill Paley. 

Billy was once quoted something that rings true to me, “be faithful to your own taste because nothing you really like is ever out of style.” I couldn’t agree more.

The Allure of Style, by Mary McDonald
Award-winning Interior Designer Mary McDonald inspires readers to combine old-fashioned elegance with the joy of fearless, exuberant decorating.  Mary is consistently ranked one of House Beautiful’s top 100 designers.

 She is so chic and a fabulous designer and seeing all her spaces in one book will be a certainly be a treat.
