Victoria: At Home with White: Celebrating the Intimate Home

White is the color of angels and brides, moonlight and lily of the valley. It is capable of endless subtleties; fragile or strong, it can be transparent as ice, opaque as marble, in love with light as a diamond.
Now the secrets of using this most challenging color is explored and shared by the editors of Victoria magazine in At Home with White. More than 150 beautiful photographs feature the many decorating styles created or enhanced by the color of white - richly traditional, clean-lined contemporary, rustic country, breezy tropical, lushly romantic. Victoria takes us on an informative tour of the exquisite fabrics that bring these styles to life, from hardworking cottons to sophisticated linens to precious laces. We are invited into the wonderful, magical world of summer, a season that seems as if it were created expressly for white, and into the private places in our homes made intimate and fresh with white - bedroom, bathroom, dressing room. The white gardens, porches, and terraces that serve as refuges in our lives are explored, as is the long-standing friendship between white and blue. Throughout the book are profiles of homeowners who have spun some magic of their own with this most intriguing color.
