Suzanne Kasler
Suzanne Kasler is known for her classically inspired rooms, pretty palettes, and comfortable spaces. She brings Southern charm, European sensibility, and a respect for architectural details to her interiors. Her neutral palette, spiced with hits of color, creates warm spaces that are elegant yet inviting. Inspired by fashion, Kasler uses a scarf as a throw, adds grosgrain or satin banding to the bottom of a chair cover, accents draperies with Chanel-like piped borders, or embellishes a bed frame with delicate handpainted patterns. It is these exquisite haute couture details that drive her design aesthetic. Kasler’s mélange of antiques, midcentury pieces, and modern furniture makes her layered interiors attractive and livable. Lavishly illustrated, this beautiful volume showcases a range of Kasler’s projects, from a luxurious Georgian mansion in Atlanta’s Buckhead to a sophisticated farmhouse in Tennessee and a beach house in Watersound, Florida. Offering a wealth of original design ideas that are refreshing and full of verve, Inspired Interiors is a welcome addition to any library of interior design books.
Crossing Boundaries
"In Crossing Boundaries, Wolf shares his journeys to Ethiopia, Borneo Madagascar, Syria, and Myanmar. Each voyage is represented by exquisite photographs paired with personal, often humorous travel narratives. The author is a keen observer, captivated especially by individual forms of expression: the colors and patterns of clothing, the forms and features of architecture. Once home, Wolf incorporates - both subtly and not so subtly - the influence of his travels into his refined interior spaces in striking color combinations (the pinks and fuchsias and lavenders of Myanmar); skillful assemblages of artifacts (Ethiopian horn cups and chieftain's chairs); and graceful formal compositions (the symmetry of a Syrian garden court)."--BOOK JACKET.

The Way We Were

A smash hit around the world whose power echoes to this day—yet a film whose success was so far from assured that one studio executive was heard to exclaim: “Barbra Streisand doesn’t sing and she plays a communist—are you trying to kill me?!” But succeed the film did, propelled by a smash-hit title song and career defining performances from Streisand and Redford. Now, just in time for the 50th anniversary of the film's release, this behind-the-scenes account from bes...
