About the Item

The Country House Remembered, Recollections of Life Between the Wars by Merlin Waterson. London: Rutledge & Kegan Paul. First edition hardcover with dust jacket, 1985. 256 pp. The book portrays the social life of British country homes through a series of interviews with the owners and their families. It tells of houses having 65 guests, fires warming towels in all the bathrooms, parting gifts of papier mâché cases filled with scones stuffed with shrimp. The book explains how the landlords of these big house and estates took full responsibility for the welfare of the community and how the house was dependent upon the community for its own survival. NPT Books, a division of N.P. Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.

Heidi Caillier: Memories of Home: Interiors

Heidi Caillier: Memories of Home: Interiors

Located in New York, NY

In her debut book, designer Heidi Caillier shows how to mix moody color with layers of pattern, natural materials, and textures to create spaces that are both beautifully curated and comfortably livable. Heidi Caillier believes that our homes should create a sense of place, and serve as the setting for lifelong memories. In her first book, she shares twelve houses from across the country, from the islands of Puget Sound to the Berkshires. The rooms of these houses are simultaneously nostalgic and of the moment. Caillier is a master of mixing patterns, combining florals with graphic lines and shapes, as well as using deeper, muddy colors to create coziness and warmth.
