The author of the acclaimed Living Well by Design now harnesses the power of design to create a healthy home that not only looks beautiful but also contributes to our quality of life In her new book, internationally renowned design and style authority Melissa Penfold turns her attention from the basics of interior decorating to demonstrating what a powerful force design can be in boosting our physical and emotional well-being. Each chapter is devoted to an aspect of healthy, life-enhancing design, including "Ease," "Flow," "Light," "Nature," "Timelessness," and "Awe." All underscore the importance of introducing lots of natural light; using natural, non-toxic materials (clay, plaster, timber, stone); incorporating nature into our homes, whether through views of the outside world or by filling our interior with plants; creating lots of storage (mess is stress); and recognizing the power that color has on our state of mind. Illustrating each chapter are photographs of beautiful rooms in homes around the world that embody the salutary properties of Natural Living by Design.

The authors of the highly successful The Maine House continue their quest to record and celebrate the authentic Maine houses of their childhoods - a Maine that is in danger of vanishing. 'The Maine House [shows] us the dignity and aching beauty, in preserving Maine's quirky architectural past.' - Maine Homes by Down East Spend any amount of time in Maine - a weekend, a summer, a lifetime - and its impression lasts forever. When The Maine House was published in 2021, the reception was astonishing. Over four printings and across the world, The Maine House sounded a rallying cry, summed up perfectly in one of dozens of reviews, that it "crafts a plea to preserve a living history belonging to individual, family, and state; a visual call to recognize these homey structures and others like them as 'extraordinary gifts'." The Maine House II moves beyond the authors' cri de coeur; they¿re on a mission. Through 30 homes¿inland, inshore and on islands - McEvoy, Burwell, and Hackett highlight the beauty and importance of preservation, restoration, thoughtful renovation, and low-impact living in the place they love the most. From visionaries who saw home in a post-and-beam barn, a lighthouse, a former hotel, and a boat shed to families resolutely leaving generational homes largely untouched (some continuing to live off the grid) and still others honoring vernacular architecture by living with it in surprising ways, The Maine House II captures the myriad ways one can live in this singular place-in the present-while preserving the past and ensuring its future.

¿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 DigestThe muted, understated exterior of the townhouse on a treelined New York City street belies the total assault on the senses that hits you upon opening its blue front door. Every room of its five main floors has its own saturated color scheme, David Hicks¿inspired geometrically patterned rugs, vibrant fabrics, new and vintage furniture, art and photographs covering walls, and sculptures and knickknacks topping tables and filling shelves.
