"Gootaste can be developed in anyone, just as surely as
good manners are possible to anyone. And good taste is as
necessary as good manners,"declared Elsie de Wolfe,
the "firt lady"of American interior design. Although
de Wolfe decorated the homes of wealthy, socially prominent
clients, she always maintained that her vision of elegant but
comfortable living is attainable to all. This timeless 1913
book,written in a friendly, conversational tone,explains how to
design, furnish, and decorate a house in order to make it a
beautiful, useful, and livable home.De Wolfe pioneered the
concept of the home as a representation of the owner's
identity, and this book defines her decorating methods,
philosophy, and approach to creating spaces for gracious
entertaining. Part step-by-step manual and part aesthetic
treatise, this volume advocates for simpler yet more refined
decor. In contrast to the Victorian penchant for dark furniture,
bric-a-brac, and heavy draperies, de Wolfe advised her
readers to let in natural light, to replace gaudy colors with
beige and ivory, and to abandon clutter. Her practical
suggestions, illustrated by period photographs, illuminate the
attitudes of a century ago while retaining their resonance for
modern-day interior designers.
