Sinopsis :
Named one ofElle Decor&#8217Best Coffee Table Books to
Gift in 2022A tastemaking couple shares their playbook for
creating a home that&#8217both beautiful and comfortable
Chris Mitchell and Pilar Guzm&#225nare design obsessives
who both want the same thing: rooms that are spare yet warm,
layered yet clean, current yet timeless. Rooms that never
forget the real humans&#8212wih all their needs, hopes,
emotions, aspirations, and even spills&#8212wh live in these
spaces. Over the course of six ever more ambitious home
renovations, they&#8217vecracked the code on how to
achieve this. It&#8217a simple formula, one that lies in mixing
modern design with timeworn materials&#8212inparticular,

white oak, brass, and bridle leather, all three of which become
richer, mellower, and burnished with patina as they age. Add a
few essential lessons (Decorating by Mood, Borrowing from
the Best) and a nine-point manifesto that covers everything
from lighting (rooms should feel like lanterns at night), to the
use of black as an accent, to the intention that every space
should serve multiple purposes, and the result is Patina
Modern, a uniquely inspiring and practical design guide. The
book leads by example, as the authors reveal in room-by-room
detail the full evolution of their homes, including a Brooklyn
brownstone and two classic Hamptons
&#8220cotages.&#8221Along the way, we come to not only
understand just how they see and think but also learn what
they&#8217velearned, getting an education in color,
proportion, paint, and the world of modern furniture design, for
which the authors have a special passion. Tools, principles,
and the power of designing around the things you
love&#8212ths is the gift of Patina Modern, showing just how
to put it all together to create your own beautiful spaces.
