At Home: A Style for Today with Things from the Past

by Suzanne Rheinstein, Margaret Russell (Foreword), Pieter Estersohn (Photographer)

Leading interior designer and owner of Hollyhock, Los Angeles’s renowned antiques and decorative arts mecca, Suzanne Rheinstein is known for her relaxed, elegant style. Style maker and interior designer Suzanne Rheinstein has a keen appreciation for special luxuries. She is a master at taking an eclectic mix of furnishings from the past and arranging them in a fresh, inspiring way. Elegant simplicity and attention to detail are the hallmarks of her look. A timeless quality pervades every room she designs. Rheinstein feels that how you live your life every day is much more important than getting your house together for a special occasion. Beautifully photographed, this inspiring volume shows examples of her work, ranging from a brick farmhouse in the Virginia countryside and a sophisticated rustic getaway overlooking the Big Wood River in Sun Valley to a year-round shingled residence on the beach in Newport Bay, as well as her own homes—a gracious Georgian Revival in Los Angeles and a New York City prewar pied-à-terre. They exemplify her talent for creating attractive homes that make living and entertaining extremely pleasurable.

What can I say about Suzanne Rheinstein. For a start, I love, love, love her style and I love this book so much that it actually gave me a mild headache flicking through all those pages upon pages of inspiring rooms.
This book was magnificent to me and I am sad that I have only borrowed it from the library and that I do not own it.
I adore this woman's design taste and would live happily in any of the homes/decor she has profiled in this book.
A beautiful book. Large, hardcover, published by Rizzoli, the publishing house that produces high quality decorating books.
This is one of the best. A book I will always go back to for inspiration.

Not my style. The library room has maybe 2 dozen books; that's not a library!
