Ryland, Peters & Small Ltd Romantic Irish Homes: Charming and Characterful
Book SynopsisIn Romantic Irish Homes, bestselling author Robert O'Byrne celebrates Irish houses with an abundance of character and personality. Quixotic, often whimsical and definitely quirky, they provide a sanctuary from the Irish climate, which can be cold and damp. No wonder, therefore, that over the centuries Ireland's domestic architecture and interior design have developed a distinctive personality in which colour and vivacity are highly prized. Romantic Irish Homes presents 15 of the finest examples of the Irish home, each one of them distinctive yet sharing the same unique spirit. From ancient castles to sturdy Georgian manors and modest farmhouses, the homes featured here offer a unique insight into the Irish temperament and an exploration of a style of decoration that, while adapted to meet 21st-century demands, still retains an historic integrity. Romantic Irish Homes is every bit as charming and memorable as the Irish people themselves. First published in 2013, this is a new edition.

Vendome Press Behind the Blue Door
Book SynopsisBehind the Blue Door presents the decor of pioneering beauty-industry entrepreneur John Demsey’s six-story townhouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, an explosion of color, pattern, and art.“A riot of color, pattern, and art, beauty exec John Demsey’s six-story townhouse on Manhattan’s Upper East Side bursts with exuberant life.”—Architectural Digest The muted, understated exterior of the townhouse on a tree-lined New York City street belies the sumptuous feast for the eyes that hits you upon opening its blue front door. Every room of its five main floors has its own saturated color scheme, filled with a David Hicks-inspired geometrically patterned rug, vibrant fabrics, new and vintage furniture, art and photographs covering walls, and sculptures and knickknacks topping tables and filling shelves. For the owner, John Demsey, the starting point was a pair of multicolored Louboutin boots, which inspired the palette of the living room rug. Working with interior decorator and friend Bibi Monnahan, he carefully chose and positioned each piece of furniture, work of art, and decorative object, and mounted his enormous photography collection. The result is a tour de force of maximalist design, now captured for all to see in Douglas Friedman’s luminous photographs and with Emmy Award-winning journalist Alina Cho as our eyewitness guide in a slipcased gift book featuring three gatefolds.

Pimpernel Press Ltd Potted History: How Houseplants Took Over Our
Book SynopsisThere is no shortage of books on how to look after houseplants but no one has shown us how and when and why these plants came to be in our homes. Catherine Horwood’s combination of social history, plant history and the history of interior design explains why, as Flanders and Swann sung in the 1950s, ‘the garden’s full of furniture / and the house is full of plants.’ In this fascinating book we learned how potted plants are as much subject to fashion as pieces of furniture. For the Victorians, it was the aspidistra in the front parlour, the Edwardians loved a palm, and, for today’s millennials, no home is complete without the ubiquitous fiddle-leaf fig. This book show that there is little new when it comes to plants in the home. In the mid-18th century, Wedgwood created a market for special bulb pots and in the 1950s, some of Terence Conran’s earliest designs were for houseplant containers. Across the ages, the choice of potted plants has been influenced by the layout of houses, the levels of dirt and pollution and the equipment to hand. Now, with so much choice, we seem happy to treat houseplants as disposables. This book gives a better understanding of the miracles that were once achieved with indoor plant displays, inspired by Sir Hugh Platt’s 1608 vision of a garden ‘within doores’. This new edition has been revised with new material added to bring the history of the houseplant and its massive explosion in popularity right up to date.Trade Review"Before Instagram loved houseplants, Catherine was telling the story of them. Potted History is the essential tome for tracing the fascinating history of our obsession with indoor jungles. A must-read for any fan of bringing the outdoors in." -- Alice Vincent, author of Rootbound, Rewilding a Life"One of my favourite books on gardening. It's a story of potted plants from the bustle of Covent Garden in the 17th century to the Instagram age...Horwood's cleverness is to use the story to give wider insights into how we live, and indeed, how cities have changed over time." -- Christopher Woodward, Director, Garden Museum, London"Catherine Horwood... has found that rare thing: a genuinely new subject in interior design." -- Ros Byam Shaw * World of Interiors *"Dr Horwood’s remarkable research into the ‘flowerpot room; in Josiah Wedgwood’s Soho shop...There is also wonderful detail, too, on the Victorian obsession with indoor plants - all those ferneries and winter gardens." * Telegraph Gardening Books of the Year *"This book embarks on a journey through 400 years of changing fashions...well researched...and an enjoyable read." * The Professional Gardener *“A fascinating history of the houseplant that looks at how plants have been used inside the home through the centuries from as early as the 1600s…a thought-provoking read.” * Gardens Illustrated *“Anyone who is interested in houseplants will find this book fascinating. Anyone interested in social history will find this book equally impelling. I thoroughly enjoyed it.” * www.blackberrygarden.co.uk *"The author is a consummate garden historian with a talent for storytellling. This work reflects her considerable skill." -- The English Garden"Full of excellent detail and has taught me much." -- Financial Times * Robin Lane Fox *"Readers seeking an academic but accessible take on the relationship between houseplants and social history will enjoy this book." * Library Journal (US) *"Highly recommended." * The Horticulturist *"Writing with flair and just a bit of tongue in cheek...social historian and plant and garden enthusiast Horwood updates this book, first published in 2007, with renewed vigor." -- Booklist
