Annotation

Painted furniture? Baskets on the shelf? Quilts on the beds? A big comfy chair by the fireplace? Everyone may not be aware of it, but much of what we take for granted when we decorate our houses came straight from the sensibilities of Sister Parish, who led Americans out of an era of stuffy, formal decorating and into a world of cozy, lived-in comfort. This book is an homage to her vision in the form of a stimulating conversation among 30 prominent decorators about not only Sister Parish and her influence, but much more. Illustrated with charming watercolors of interiors.

Comfort is the essential element of a successful interior and the hallmark of the Parish-Hadley style. In "Sister Parish Design," Libby Cameron, Sister's last protege, and Susan B. Crater, Sister's granddaughter, explore this aspect and much more in a series of conversations with the leading decorators of today. Sister Parish is the iconic American decorator of her generation. Her use of flowered chintzes and overstuffed armchairs combined with unexpected items, like patchwork quilts and painted furniture, is credited with popularizing what is known as American Country-style during the 1960s. Her passion for bold color and mixed patterns invoked charm, imagination, and a lived-in look to her rooms. Her philosophy was to be unafraid and to put things together because you liked them--not because they matched. Filled with beautifully-rendered watercolor illustrations, "Sister Parish Desig"n is more then just a stunning book--it is an inspirational resource that all decorating aficionados' will want to add to their bookshelf.
