Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The House Beautiful and Useful: Being Practical Suggestions on Furnishing and Decoration AT the Publishers' request, I have endeavoured to give in a fairly brief form some notes for the benefit of those who are faced with the problem of decorating 'and furnishing a home. There have been several works issued in recent years with a similar object in View; but their authors, as far as I can discover, have not kept in view the all-important ques tion of cost. To remedy this omission is one of the factors governing the appearance of the present volume. The ideal method of furnishing a home is to employ the services of a talented Architect and Craftsman, so that every piece of furniture and every scheme of decoration is an individual production - the only one of its kind - expressing the owner's taste and individuality. Unfortunately, such an ideal is only possible in the case of wealthy people. Nine-tenths of the population must continue to buy articles of furniture which are made to pattern by the dozen, and to employ schemes of decoration that have their counterpart in many other dwellings. It is the object of the following chapters to give some guidance to the selection of such furniture, and to indicate more or less desirable directions for decorative effort. While the majority of people cannot afford to employ an Architect or Craftsman, the person of average intellect and a certain amount of taste can do much for himself.

Download or read book The House Beautiful, Vol. 11 (Classic Reprint) written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The House Beautiful, Vol. 11 Throughout the Italian Renaissance and the revivals of art in Europe, the whole artistic guild paid its tribute to the Madonna, and the world will never see repeated the enthusiasm with which their conceptions were received and the adoration in which they were held. The appreciation extended through all ranks of society: from the peasant who, in his ignorance, thought that the pictures he worshiped were of miraculous origin, to the nobles and popes who, fired by the discoveries of buried remains of antique sculpture, and filled with enthusiasm for the beauty these revealed, felt the most intense interest in their own masters, and valued fine works of art as priceless treasures. Hough both faith and a love of art have grown faint since the time when the Florentines made a public procession to escort an altar-piece to its destination, yet the pictures the world loves best are still of the Mother and Child. For one person who recalls the vast projects to which Leonardo da Vinci's versatile brain gave birth, there are thousands who have admired The Madonna of the Rocks, and the fame of Raphael's Holy Families is greater than that of his peerless achievement in mural painting. Hat a number of Madonnas are designed at the present day is due largely to the ideas that obtain in France, where classical and Bible incidents are consid ered of equal importance for pictorial representation. In the art schools subjects for compositions are taken from one or the other with a truly impartial judgment, and the students carry this training into after life. A fine example of this French point of view is seen ln The Flight into Egypt, by Luc Oliver Merson, which is well known in this country owing to numerous reproductions. But the mass of the religious pictures that are seen in the salons year after year are uninteresting and painfully insincere, often showing only the desire to attract attention by some novel idea, some queer sensational motive. NE outcome of the growth of the plein air school, and the study of peasant life, has been to portray the Madonna in humble gardens and interiors; again, all symbolism is omitted, the family tie alone is emphasized. Certain of these paint ings of maternity, both of the class from which Mary came and in higher ranks where the bond is quite as strong, are very charming in their distinctive way. But whether the subject gains a certain glory from religious belief, or is the type of the purest and most lovely of human relations, it must be regarded as an im mortal one, which appeals to the heart, the imagination, and the intellect, ever finding an echo in humanity's deepest feelings, and ever ready for new reproduc tion by poet or artist. T is the beauty of the human tie that Mr. Brush realizes to a remarkable degree. His own wife in her intercourse with her children has been his inspi ration. Each group has a supremely natural action which the artist might have observed and noted just as it appeared. While the lines of composition are exqui.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Inside the House Beautiful: A Collection of Interior Views Showing Furnishings and Their Arrangement No attempt is made, therefore, in the pages of this book to set forth the principles of interior decoration. The writer believes that, for the prae tical uses of such principles by the owners of modest homes, as much can be learned from good example as from a study of theory. If a few of the illustrations-imply furnishings beyond the realm of the moderate-priced home, it is because there is some application of detail or arrangement which can be made to serve the purposes of owners of less pretentious dwellings.

Book excerpt: This New York Times bestselling book from interior designer Mark D. Sikes is a celebration of American style today, showcasing chic and accessible ideas for every home. Modern and unfussy, Mark D. Sikes’s interiors are classic takes on California indoor/outdoor living, with natural fibers and crisp coloration, informed and influenced by the fashion world where he began his career. In eight chapters, he explores approachable, stylish looks, from "Blue and White Forever," which features indigos, stripes, batiks, and wicker in casual rooms such as porches and pool houses; to "Timeless Neutrals," presenting semiformal rooms filled with chinoiserie, gilt, glass, mirrors, banquettes, and French chairs; to "Garden Greens," featuring happy, casual family rooms and kitchens inspired by the garden with treillage woodwork, rattan, and cotton. There are also "Beautiful Brights," colorful rooms that are eclectic, layered, and fun, with chintz, florals, and Middle Eastern influences; and "Sun Faded Hues," rustic coastal rooms with weathered fabrics and furniture. Each chapter presents light-filled images of the designer’s looks and offers the reader inspiration and advice. As famed film director Nancy Meyers writes in the book’s foreword, this is a book that shows design lovers "how classic can look fresh, how style and comfort go hand-in-hand."
