The firm’s homes are set against the backdrop of dramatic Western landscapes from the Rockies to the Pacific.

Juxtaposing a warm palette with rugged elements, they create homes that have a deep connection to the natural world just outside the windows.

Renowned designer and antiques dealer Richard Shapiro devotes his
first book to the art of creating refined, cultivated spaces that
transport their inhabitants to a heritage of distant lands and past
epochs. Designers and home owners who wish to endow homes with
authentic European charm and character will be inspired by
Shapiro's gift for creating genuine Old World savoir faire. The
book focuses on the two much-imitated homes and gardens of Richard
Shapiro, which provide a wealth of inspiration and a broad array of
examples related to living graciously with antiques, decorative
painting and other finishes, and marrying centuriesold building
materials with new construction. Shapiro shares ideas from his work
as a designer as well as lessons learned from years of collecting
and selling antiques and fine art. As a manufacturer of furnishings
with a distinctly European sensibility, he also brings to bear a
thorough knowledge of production processes and finishing techniques
that simulate authentic Old World archetypes. With exquisite new
photography, the book also functions as a master class, filled with
illustrations and takeaways for readers, offering practical ideas
and creative inspirations for imbuing a home with a romantic mood
and a timeworn sensibility.
What does a home look like in twenty-first-century New York? While
the city s name alone brings to mind very specific ideas the Fifth
Avenue penthouse, with its elegant mouldings and crystal
chandeliers; the SoHo loft, with its bright spaces and air of
bohemian ease; the Brooklyn brownstone, with its fireplaces,
parquet floors, and lush backyards the truth is, New York today is
much more than this, and the potential for variety in ways of
living is, now more than ever, virtually limitless. As a result, in
the twenty-first century, the combined design professions enjoy an
unprecedented menu of prospective solutions, whether based upon
respect for a classically inflected New York past, an emphatic
denial of such a tradition, or, most often, some hybrid response
that often yields the best innovation possible. New York Living
celebrates this vast potential while exploring contemporary
apartments and town houses throughout the city, ranging beyond
Manhattan into the outer boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten
Island, and the Bronx, and back to the centre, Manhattan, which
continues to climb ever higher in its reach toward the sky.
Filled with beautiful full-color photographs and detailed
illustrations, an irresistible collection profiling 150 of the
latest trends in contemporary loft design. The ultimate resource
for designing and decorating loft spaces, 150 Best of the Best Loft
Ideas presents 150 stunning lofts constructed and designed by
notable architects and designers from around the world. Made
popular in the nineteen fifties and sixties in New York City,
lofts-synonymous with a modern, avant-garde lifestyle-continue to
maintain their wide appeal. While loft living once meant converting
old industrial warehouses into a warm and inviting living
environment, today the style has evolved into an airy, open
approach for any modern living space. This compilation highlights
the diversity of current trends in loft design and is a source of
creative inspiration for architects, designers, and home owners
interested in staying current with the latest in contemporary
residential architecture.
Carleton Varney turns his decorating vision towards the water in
his most recent tome, Decorating on the Waterfront. Here, he
gathers stunning images of new design projects in this collection
of inspirational stories that use motifs and colours from years by
the shore. Growing up on the Massachusetts coast influenced his
penchant for bright cheerful colour schemes and warm polished
interiors that exude luxury living today. Varney continues to live
near the ocean and decorates for clients on the waterfront from
Palm Beach, Florida to the shores of Lake Huron, Michigan. This
book brings into focus Varney's career-long journey to bring
elements and inspirations from the world around us to life at home.
