With its elegant simplicity and rugged DIY sensibility, the Maine
aesthetic is both evergreen and timely. In this one-of-a-kind book,
the Remodelista team offers readers both a guide for the
design-minded traveler and a master class in re-creating the Maine
look in one's own home. Author Annie Quigley takes readers into 10
exceptional homes, ranging from a renovated farmhouse to a
sophisticated artists' retreat, offering invaluable design lessons
along the way. There are interviews with local experts, who teach
readers how to channel the Maine way of life (chop firewood, hunt
for flea market finds, and weather the summer without AC), and
step-by-step projects for Maine-inspired home decor, including
printed tea towels, mussel-shell votives, and balsam fir pillows.
Expertly curated itineraries include design shops, galleries,
restaurants, hotels, and more. And finally, the Remodelista team
highlights the 'Maine 25': classic, beautiful products that are
built to last, sourced from local makers. It adds up to the perfect
travel companion, design inspiration, and how-to manual, all rolled
into one!
Craft is at the very heart of British identity, from stained-glass
windows in country churches to the Enid Blyton charm of thatched
houses; from Harris Tweed (R) (famously poached by Coco Chanel) to
the ceremonial livery worn by horses at Buckingham Palace. The
burgeoning of digital craftsmanship is also enriching
ground-breaking technologies, including microbial weaving and
bespoke-made vessels for growing human tissue. Craft Britain brings
together watchmakers with saddlers; bell casters with neon benders;
shoemakers with silversmiths; potters with orrery-makers;
stonemasons with weavers; embroiderers with basket-makers - and a
myriad other craft traditions. This book aims to beat the drum for
craft, waking people up to the fact that they need to support the
country's rich seam of incredible craftspeople and so encourage new
generations to master the skills needed to preserve and continue
craft traditions. Craft Britain proves that craftsmanship in
Britain is neither dying nor dead, but is a continuing and exciting
exploration of process, materials and ideas spanning architecture,
interiors, fashion, art and design.

When she discovered that nearly half of France's 44,000 heritage
sites were chateaux in various states of repair, Catherine Scotto
embarked on a journey to find out who, exactly, lived in these
medieval fortresses and, more importantly, what they were like on
the inside. From Normandy to Provence and everywhere in between the
owners of these chateaux-including decorators, antique dealers,
artists, and collectors-represent the epitome of French culture and
taste. Each chateau is presented in double-page full-color spreads
that feature alluring interiors and information about the hosts and
their design journeys. There's something for everyone here-whether
it's homes where simplicity and minimalism reign, rooms as
exuberantly busy as a 14th-century tapestry, or interiors
transformed by surprising, era-bending feats. Morel's breathtaking,
naturally lit photographs of generous kitchens, cozy drawing rooms,
spacious bedrooms, ingeniously imagined bathrooms, and intriguing
hallways and stairwells offer endless inspiration, while Scotto's
engaging text gives readers a feel for the kinds of people who take
on such a daunting yet satisfying challenge.

This enlightening study explores the set design drawings for
theatre and live performance, highlighting their unique qualities
within the greater arena of drawing practice and theory. The latest
volume in the Drawing In series, Scenographic Design Drawing
encourages an interdisciplinary dialogue in the field of drawing
with the inclusion of illustrations throughout. Scenographic design
drawings visualize the images in the designer's 'mind's eye' early
in the design process. They are the initial design tool in the
creative engagement with theatre, opera, dance, and non-text-based
performance. It is, in particular, this body of drawings that is
unique as both a performative and a theatrical representation of
multiple worlds within the 'stage space'. Sue Field illuminates
this illustration process and identifies how these drawings have
functioned and developed over time. Scenographic Design Drawing
serves to satisfy an emerging global curiosity and a thirst for new
knowledge and understanding in relation to the drawings executed by
the historical and contemporary scenographer. This work addresses a
critical research gap and shows how the scenographic design drawing
continues to be a principal site of innovation, subjectivity,
originality and authorship in theatre and live performance.

and style. Distributed for The Huntington Library, Art Collections,
