Soul of the Home: Designing with Antiques
Hatchette
Past meets present in Soul of the Home, a stylish guide to decorating modern homes with heirlooms and antiques.
Tara Shaw is a respected supplier of French and European antiques for a host of AD100 and Elle Decor A-listers, including Bobby McAlpine, Mary McDonald, and Bunny Williams. In her first book, she helps readers understand how to select the best antiques and how to use them in a variety of decor schemes. Soul of the Home presents never-before-published spaces from Shaw’s portfolio and reveals her favorite antique-hunting spots throughout Europe.
Anecdotes from years of treasure hunting are accompanied by color images of rare and precious finds, with text that decodes just how to choose the right pieces and display them in a contemporary interior. Readers will be able to look at each space and take away ideas they can apply to their own homes, to create personalized rooms full of provenance and beauty.
