Living Traditions (SIGNED)

In this lavishly illustrated volume, Smyth reveals his own design tips, rules, and approaches to meeting challenges offered by uniquely shaped spaces. He focuses on editing collections to better showcase individual works, the personal nature of color selection, adding - or restoring - historical references, and finishing a space off with glorious, often unexpected fabrics and trims. Over two hundred color photographs showcase a wide variety of styles, from a nature-infused Aspen vacation home to the quintessential Upper East Side apartment to a London flat that smoothly blends its owner's inherited collection of Renaissance art with fine Indian pieces.

This signed hardcover book measures 9 inches by 11½ inches. Published April 19, 2011.
