This is one of those books one buys in order to salivate over shabbily perfect interiors, dogs in baskets, raggedy rugs, crooked pictures, muddy wellies, musty bedrooms and slightly mildewed bathrooms. The nostalgic essence of a Thirkell novel. Just the two prefaces, by the author and the photographer, are well worth the price of admission.
That is precisely the look I'm going for in my house. I have an old house (by US standards), a musty smelling basement and lots of shabby chic fabric about.
ReplyDeleteMe again. I was looking at the book on Amazon and one of the customer images was a photo of a dollhouse. It looks fascinating.
