A debut book from award-winning designer, Nina Farmer, known for her sophisticated eye and interiors that are elegant, comfortable, and timeless.

Designer Nina Farmer has made a name for herself with her classically beautiful interiors. from reimagining century-old homes to more modern dwellings, farmer has a way of creating looks that celebrate the past and simultaneously live squarely and stylishly in the present. in these pages, farmer introduces readers to the design solutions she has found for creating that special combination: a carefully curated mix of the classic and the contemporary that looks like it was collected over time rather than created all at once.

The book features nine projects, including a stone-walled 1930’s colonial in Westport, Connecticut, a mid-century-inspired beach bungalow on Martha's vineyard, and farmer’s own 1850’s federal-style brownstone in Boston's beacon hill. The book is rounded out with a series of informative essays on the key elements of farmer’s look, including creating a sense of place, the importance of travel and collecting art.
