About the Item

Family Houses in the Country by Gilles De Chabaneix and Alexandra D'Arnoux. Clarkson Potter, 2000. Stated first edition hardcover with dust jacket. In this charming and evocative book, Alexandra d’Arnoux provides portraits of country houses where decorative details combine with family traditions to create a memorable and timeless atmosphere. Family Houses in the Country takes us to gracious retreats in the woods and hillsides, real homes with the spirit of the families who delight in living with them. Author Alexandra d’Arnoux and photographer Gilles de Chabaneix travel through the United States, England, Scotland, Italy and France to find remarkable houses with beautiful, comfortable interiors. They visit a family homestead in California’s Napa Valley, a place of eternal summer, and experience the isolated, strangely welcoming manor of Kerdaoualas on a hill in Brittany as well as an architecturally intriguing home in Shropshire that once housed a medieval abbey. NPT Books, a division of 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.

Finding Home: The Houses of Pursley Dixon, by Ken Pursley

Finding Home: The Houses of Pursley Dixon, by Ken Pursley

Located in valatie, NY

Finding Home: The Houses of Pursley Dixon, by Ken Pursley. Published by Rizzoli International Publications, New York, 2021. Hardcover with dust jacket. Founded on the simple principle “Build beautiful things,” the architectural team of Pursley Dixon, like populist architects Bobby McAlpine and Jeff Dungan, is known for blending elements of tradition with a modern lifestyle. In Finding Home, they share 15 stunning houses in three distinct styles: rustic mountain escapes, dreamy retreats by the water, and elegant houses in town. Each house has its own thoughtful visual narrative, but all are connected on an innate and authentic level by their sense of proportion, attention to detail, and a marvelous affinity with nature, displayed in their soothing neutral palettes, oversize windows that bring the outdoors in, and natural materials such as rough-hewn stone and unfinished wood. Little touches of humanity await discovery, such as a sleeping nook perched right out into the highest branches of a tree. These eccentricities and secrets add to the distinctly Southern sense of warmth and refuge these homes provide, homes whose open interiors and majestic porches easily accommodate family and gatherings. Featuring their own interior design work as well as that of acclaimed decorators such as Suzanne Kasler, Phoebe Howard, and Circa 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.
