Moving into your first apartment? Leaving a huge home to go to a
small retirement apartment? Designing your own home for your family of
five? HERS: Design with a Feminine Touch, is an illustrated guide
to empower women to create a beautiful female sanctuary out of even the
smallest cubby in their homes. Pages of photographs, sidebars and
explanations guide amateur decorators to create fresh, sophisticated and
inviting feminine décor. Just as each woman needs a "go-to" dress, each
is entitled to a personal, glamorous space where she can relax and
express her individuality. Yours may be a reading nook, bedroom
nightstand home office, or garden path.
Author Jacqueline deMontravel, editorial director of Beckett Media's lifestyle group, edits Romantic Homes magazine. She has two decades of experience in magazine publishing. Her other books include Vintage Vavoom, The Vintage Table and 21st Century Etiquette.
Marisa Crawford, Jacqueline deMontravel, Bret Gum, Jaimee Itagaki and
Mark Tanner provided the photographs for a feast-for-the-eyes book.
The
book abounds with practical suggestions, such as adjusting the layout
of your room and colorizing without scaring off the opposite sex.
Suggestions are given for thoughtfully displaying important mementos and
adding interesting accents. Also discussed is how to choose the era and
locale that fits your unique style. Editing is encouraged. In other
words, throw away the clutter so that you can enjoy the treasures you've
decided to highlight.
The suggestions are refreshingly not all
about lace and pearls, but cater to those with busy lives who require a
relaxing space-a "just for me" alcove. The photographs are a major
player in this illustrated book. The reader can daydream as she takes in
the detail in each shot. Ideas abound. So many different styles are
presented that each woman will find something just for her within the
pages of HERS: Design with a Feminine Touch.
