Description

223 pages : color illustrations ; 30 cm, Interior designer and decorative arts and antiques expert Thomas Jayne follows up his essential 2010 compendium "The Finest Rooms in America" with this new collection of his own work. Thomas Jayne possesses a unique dual vision--he keeps one eye focused on the aesthetic traditions of the past, and the other looking forward: innovating, creating, and imagining interiors to suit modern sensibilities. His reverence for traditional ideas does not restrict Jayne's understanding of what makes a beautiful room--rather than seeking to replicate and repeat the exact decor from past, Jayne finds inspiration in the distinctive histories of the spaces in which he works.
