The "first lady" of American interior design defines her methods and philosophy in this timeless volume. Practical approaches illuminate the attitudes of a century ago while retaining their resonance for modern-day designers.

In this timeless 1913 book, the "first lady" of American interior design defines her decorating methods and philosophy. Elsie de Wolfe pioneered the concept of the home as a representation of the owner's identity and her practical approach to creating spaces for gracious entertaining illuminate the attitudes of a century ago while retaining their resonance for modern-day interior designers. Includes period photographs.

Elsie De Wolfe (18591950) is regarded as America's first interior designer. Starting with her first official commission in 1905 at Stanford White's Colony Club, she designed the interiors of homes for Amy Vanderbilt, Anne Morgan, Henry Clay, and Adelaide Frick, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Styled as Lady Mendl after her marriage to an English aristocrat, she lived in the limelight and spearheaded a new American style that swept away Victorian-era holdovers.
