A House in the South: Old-Fashioned Graciousness for New-Fashioned Times Hardcover - 2006

by Frances Schultz; Paula Wallace


From the publisher

Though times have changed, the charm and grace of Southern style endures. It's a design tradition that values gentility and gracious living above conspicuous consumption; history and mystery above the cutting edge; and hospitality above all else. Today's Southern homes reflect a sense of style that remains in touch with the past as it embraces the present.
In this affectionate portrait of Southern homes, Frances Schultz and Paula S. Wallace lead a tour of more than twenty of the South's proudest houses and most remarkable modern domiciles, proving that the legendary graciousness of the Southern home lives on in all forms-from seaside cottages to some truly over-the-top domains. Despite the differences among these diverse homes, the most timeless aspects of Southern style abound, including: - Using wrought iron for decorative elements
both inside and outside the home-Incorporating the porch as an essential room
of the house- Collecting antique silver to complement the
contemporary table Magnificent full-color photographs of each house show everything from the grand and elegant to the quaint and quirky, making this unique book a visual treat for anyone enchanted by the eternal grace of the American South.
