A mixture of old and new design brings a unique perspective to interior decorating. Traditional and modern styles connect in this book, where a juxtaposition of different approaches come together for something truly special.

I was definitely intrigued by the unique way the authors blend together different styles. I liked that the style is not all matchy-matchy, but brings together different elements in a curated and purposeful way. I personally didn't like all the furniture or design choices, but I did admire how carefully and thoughtfully each room was designed. I tend to prefer more traditional styles, so there were some elements that I really liked.

The photos in the book are absolutely beautiful! I was very impressed with the overall layout of the book.

I really enjoyed the section about arranging furniture to get the most of out of each room. Another cool section is all about "Decorating by Mood", including a clean mood, romantic mood, and earthy mood.

I was able to glean a little bit of inspiration from the book, but I felt like a lot of it was written by rich people for other rich people, and if you want to use most of their advice, you need to spend a whole fortune to redesign your entire house. It seems like if their style is so timeless, it should be accessible to all kinds of people from a variety of economic situations.
