Trimmings are often overlooked as mere details of a furnished
interior but in the past they were seen as vital and costly
elements in the decoration of a room. They were used not only on
curtains and beds but also on wall hangings, upholstered seat
furniture and cushions, providing a visual feast for the eye with
their colour and intricate detail. Sometimes more expensive than
the rich fabrics they enhanced, trimmings are often the only
surviving evidence of a lost decorative scheme, reapplied to
replacement textiles or found as fragments in the attic. This book,
the first of its kind, traces their history in Britain and Ireland
from 1320 to 1970, examining the design and usage of tassels,
fringe, braid (woven lace), gimp and cord and their dependence on
French fashion. Lavishly illustrated with new photography, the
substantial text links surviving items in historic houses and
museums to written evidence, paintings, drawings and other primary
sources to provide a firm framework for dating pieces of
less-certain provenance. The importance of the 'laceman', the maker
of these trimmings, is also examined within an economic and social
context, together with the relationship to the upholsterer and
interior decorator in the creation of a fashionable room.
The 1950s house was a scientific triumph. It had been designed in a
laboratory and tested on inhabitants of all ages before being built
for the masses. Never had the home been so contemporary - antiques
and period styles were banished for an entire decade as
householders concentrated on achieving a complete 'look' for the
home. Mid-Century Modern explores the interior decor of this time,
concentrating on all aspects of a home's decoration - walls,
flooring, surfaces, lighting and, of course, furniture. The book
goes on to feature case studies illustrating beautiful contemporary
homes that exhibit the mid-century style in an exemplary way and
reveal how the 1950s look, complete with collector's pieces, can be
mixed and matched with interior elements of other styles and from
other eras.
Wreaths are not just for Christmas - they can be used to decorate
your home all year round! Anna Nikipirowicz shows you how to create
sumptuous crocheted wreaths and other decorations that will grace
your home and look beautiful, whatever the season. There is a wide
variety to choose from, including spring, summer, autumn and winter
wreaths plus a gorgeous succulents wreath and Easter, Halloween and
Christmas wreaths. These lovely yarny creations are festooned with
flowers, leaves and other decorations such as birds, owls,
pumpkins, stars, bunnies and foxes. If you love the look but don't
want to make an entire wreath, Anna also includes other smaller
decorations such as garlands and terrariums. There are also three
delightful tiny wreaths to make, featuring a hedgehog, a mouse and
a robin. Each main project has a smaller accompanying project to
make, and if you love crochet, you'll love Anna's imaginative
designs.

From the author of the home decorating bestseller, For the Love of
White, comes an inspirational and informative guide to creating a
welcoming home through the seasons using a white and neutral
palette. 'Unsurprisingly for a book created by The White Company
Founder Chrissie Rucker, this showcases 10 stylist interiors -
divided into chapters named after the four seasons - each with a
high concentration of white, be it on walls, furniture, textiles or
accessories. What it demonstrates is that white need not be bland.
Taking a close look at each composed and elegant case study,
Chrissie points out the elements that make a room interesting, why
a fabric or piece of furniture elevates a scheme, or how the simple
addition of a table setting might render it the perfect serene and
welcoming space to host a dinner party. The home rituals dispersed
throughout provide useful tips on how to refresh your house as the
seasons change.' - Christabel Chubb, House & Garden 'White
Company founder Chrissie Rucker's new coffee-table book offers
plenty of ideas for decorating your home in her signature, soothing
style.' The Telegraph, Best Home Christmas Gifts 2022 'Chrissie
Rucker, founder of The White Company shows how people use shades of
white to great effect in their own homes. ' Good Housekeeping 'An
absolute delight.' Woman & Home 'These homes will inspire
anyone who loves tranquil surroundings.' Sunday Express
'Beautiful.' Grazia 'I love a home to feel warm, inviting, personal
and lived-in - and mastering how to decorate with white and
neutrals is a wonderful way to achieve this.' - CHRISSIE RUCKER In
her much-anticipated second book, The Art Of Living With White,
Chrissie Rucker, Founder of The White Company, explores 10
inspirational homes that illustrate beautifully different ways to
use white and neutrals through the seasons. The homes vary in size,
style and location - from a minimalist city pied-a-terre to a New
England-style country house - but what unites them all is the
welcoming, stylish and calm feel that their owners have each
created. The homes are grouped into the four seasons and each
chapter ends with a summary of seasonal rituals that will work in
any home. A concluding chapter - Inspiration & Resources -
considers finding your own style, how to create a good balance
between work and home in interior spaces, the art of simple
entertaining and the importance of scent and touch in a truly
comfortable home. Praise for The White Company: For the Love of
White 'A testament to the power of neutrals' - House and Garden 'A
visual feast with a passion for all things white at its heart' -
