In this undying and wonderful ebook, well known architectural and internal fashion designer, author, store-keeper and blogger Ben Pentreath items a contemporary and insightful assessment of the vintage English taste.
Visiting 12 very other houses, Ben explores and appraises the original spirit of the English Area – immediately constrained and easy but overflowing with a generosity of contact and a richness of color and texture.
The ebook is split into 3 sections: London, U . s ., and U . s . Area, and the interiors featured range from a Nineteen Thirties pied-a-terre in London’s historical St James to fashion designer Veere Grenney’s pocket-sized Palladian Temple folly in Suffolk and Wardington, a sixteenth-century stone manor Area in North Oxfordshire. Ben’s personal houses, in valuable London and West Dorset, also are incorporated.
These houses range a great deal in structure, measurement, form and age, however all of them have in not unusual a principally English taste – richly-layered rooms that deftly intertwine color and development and a mixture of antique and new furnishings to create undying and at ease puts to reside.
