Book Reviews of Charlotte Moss: A Flair for Living
Book Review: Browsing
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently purchased this book and have not had time to read it, just browse the pictures, this is also why I rated it four instead of five stars. I found Mrs. Moss's styling to be impeccable, although, in some areas, a bit fussy for me.
I am a retiree on a fixed income and likely could not afford her style. However, I draw great inspiration from her. She raises the bar. Isn't that what we should all aspire too? If she were just a run of the mill designer, would anyone want to purchase her book?
I have landed some great finds, going to local auctions in my area. I have also developed good relationships with shop owners to the degree that they allow me to put things in layaway. This way, I can get nice things at an affordable price. Consider this, if you are decorating in a classic style, the pieces that you spend heavily for, will be with you for a life time.
I am just your average Josephine, but I think my place looks damned good. I know that based on exposing myself to nice things and owning books such as this, actually allow the reader the inside track on design concepts.
Summary of Charlotte Moss: A Flair for Living
Gaufraged leather, a hand-painted porcelain tassel, silk-embroidered cushions on a Louis XIV chair, parquet de Versailles flooring, handcarved book cases. It is the details that transform spaces into eclectic and inspiring environments for living. In an elegant and innovative volume, Charlotte Moss invites us on a lavish tour of every component of a home. From breakfast rooms to powder rooms, sconces to centerpieces, Moss shares her ideas on living graciously, entertaining with exuberance, and expressing refined glamour. Room by room, accent by accent, A Flair for Living is an inspirational design book like none other, presented in an oversized luxury format with original photography.General Books
