Comments from our editors:
Despite predictions that the new millennium would find us lounging on shiny metallic and disposable furniture, most people still want room for familiar classics-whether graceful 'Windsor dining chairs or a beautiful French country table.

If you treasure tradition but long for a fresh, new look, this book is for you.

Here is a collection of rooms that intrigue with a unique fusion of design ideas-harmoniously mixing heirloom pieces and contemporary looks.

This streamlined, modern style guide will help you:

  • Give crowded rooms breathing space, atmosphere, and depth
  • Balance rooms with a blend of old and new
  • Use "pieces with a past" to create a softer, looser style.
