A Place to Call Home: Tradition, Style, and Memory in the New American House

I enjoyed this book so much! Many ideas. Great coffee table book. Gave it to my DIL too. Lovely rooms.

Be ready to pick up at post office and pay additional handling charges if you're from Canada.

Ein wahnsinnig schönes Buch

Great visuals and copy. Really nice book. The book store itself was a bit of a miss for me. I’d probably buy from someone else. They seem a bit elitist and not very helpful. Sort of like “it’s your problem you bought from us. Track your own order.” When in reality it’s the stores responsibility. It took weeks for the book to arrive and it wasn’t Covid’s fault.

This new book of Gil Schafer is even more of a pleasure than his first book. There is a much greater variety of home styles represented and they do indeed give the feeling of "home" and personal style. The homes featured here are less in the classical style for which he is well-known, more eclectic and varied. I keep reading/browsing this book over and over since I received it; it's a great favorite. His own home in Maine is wonderful - a great departure from his original style - and a gorgeous location. There is nothing like the area around Mt. Desert and its mountain-sea vistas and his modern style in this instance is the right tone for the location. Highly recommended.
