The House Romantic: Curating Memorable Interiors for a Meaningful Life

As a self-proclaimed house romantic, Haskell Harris has always had an emotional attachment to the places shes called home, thinking of them more as friends than merely structures. With this sentimental approach, she designs her interior and garden spaces in a slow, deliberate and deeply personal way and when it comes to time to move, always brings a bit of her former homes soul along to her new digs. Now, the founding style director for G & G magazine is sharing her tips for creating a home that reflects you and your life story in The House Romantic: Curating Memorable Interiors for a Meaningful Life. Each chapter in this gorgeous book begins with a tour of a specific part of Harris former Charleston home, which illustrates a certain ideal of being a house romantic, like meaning, comfort, authenticity, flair and nature. These beautiful visuals are accompanied by rich, reflective text form Harris, where she reminisces on key design elements and her personal decorating philosophy. These concepts are further explored via peeks inside the homes of fellow female creatives around the globe (dubbed kindred spirits by Harris), which depict how these concepts can be applied to other spaces. Youll also find a Story Behind the Stuff at the end of each chapter, which gives a behind-the-scenes look at an artist, artisans or purveyor whose creations Harris loves. The ultimate guide to connecting with your space and surrounding yourself with pieces that hold significance, The House Romantic is a must-read for any design-lover. by Haskell Harrisforeword by Anna Spiro photography by Charlotte Zacharkiw watercolor illustrations by Lia Burke Libairehardcover 272 pages Dimensions:9"W x 1"D x 11.75"H.
