Kathryn M. Ireland is a maven of color when it comes to home design. In addition to having her own textile line, she freely and effortlessly mixes flea market finds with important antiques to create classically comfortable rooms. Emphasizing the beauty of quality ironwork, wood, tile, and furniture pieces, Ireland pulls together a magnificent home of unpretentious grandeur.
This book chronicles the sympathetic restoration of an early Wallace Neff-designed estate in Ojai, California. Some "before" photos show how she rescued this architectural artifact from disrepair. Fabulous "after" images reveal a home that is suited for both comfortable living and entertaining.
Anecdotal, amusing, and informative, Creating a Home describes Ireland's hands-on restoration experience and her choices of colors and materials, and celebrates the craftsmanship that turned this classic home from glum to glamorous.
