Beautifully illustrated scenarios capture the creativity of Elaine Roberts' interior design and landscaping world. We are welcomed into Elaine's homes, past and present, and those of selected clients. Elaine takes us on a visual and articulated journey of what went right and not so right, culminating in innovative and elegant arrangements of furniture, art, and personal collections. This tour de force moves from Elaine's design beginnings in Toledo, to New York and Atlanta with a side trip to Bristol, Rhode Island-featuring historical homes to modern renditions to transitional conceptualizations. These homes share a blend of symmetry, function, interplay of color and shades, and the occasional twist of unexpected elements. The book revels in Elaine's pursuit of living-the-good-life philosophy where joy reigns and love abounds, while just beyond the reach is yet another glass of French wine-tempting an essential house into a proverbial home-sweet-home!
