false 4496744 1 Darryl Carter is a leader in the design world, recognized for his restrained, distinguished, and livable environments. Known for seamlessly mixing the modern with the classical, Carter presents a comprehensive guide to creating a home that balances individual comfort with a timeless aesthetic. <br><br>Comfort is the essential element of a successful interior, but also the most elusive. Too often our design decisions are driven by others. In <i>The New Traditional</i>, Darryl Carter encourages you to be true to your own lifestyle. More than a stunning book, this is an accessible resource for making an elegant, inviting home, responsive to the people who live in it every day. <br><br>A fresh take on American design, Carter&#8217;s work has been lauded as the New Traditional for effortlessly blending classic and modern elements to create personal environments. Patinated furniture, subtle textiles and lighting, and chalky washes of color are among the details that transform a house into a home. Carter explains how you can translate these details into inspired and always calming surroundings. Ignore the obvious. Redefine a dining room so that it doubles as a library by lining the walls with bookshelves and using wing chairs in lieu of dining chairs. Stain wood floors white to create a greater sense of space. Build rooms around art. Carter shows that designing your home is a process to be enjoyed. 4545713 26 8 2008 The New Traditional: Reinvent-Balance-Define Your Home total:2|4:1|2:1| 2 6 10 1 2 0 false false Thu Oct 23 16:19:55 -0700 2008 Mon Nov 10 12:24:59 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Nov 22 07:13:05 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 07:13:05 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 18 16:00:27 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 18 16:00:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 11:49:18 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 08:11:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 30 23:22:58 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 23:22:58 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jun 08 07:38:03 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 07:38:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 25 05:31:46 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 25 05:31:46 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Oct 23 15:22:25 -0700 2008 Sat Nov 01 07:33:17 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Oct 09 16:26:17 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 09 16:26:17 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Aug 31 21:30:41 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 21:30:55 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=4496744
