Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of the House Should the inspiration of the moment dietate to you a command for walls light in colour, you must not, having once put your hand to the plough, entertain any idea Of looking back. That would be to ruin all. A fastidious chastity of form and site must be the order Of the day; your pieces of furniture, very refined, very fit, and very few, are to be disposed here and there after anxious premeditation and earnest thought. They must correspond in their design with the spirit Of the wall-papers, or the panelling, and be placed just there (and in no other position than that) where they will tell the most effeetively as patches of a darker tone; or you may choose to set the whole - walls, chairs, tables, and all - in a high key; only remembering that if this be done you must keep just as tight a rein over your fancy as though the plenishing were Of dark wood. A severe elegance scrupulously maintained and con Sistently carried out in every particular, is the main characteristic of this method; the colour Chord, limited though it be, will have an austere sweetness that falls in well with some tempera ments, but a jarring note were disastrous.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The House Dignified: Its Design, Its Arrangement, and Its Decoration Having no national criterions to guide us, we have been obliged to seek those furnished by older civilisa tions, as have all peoples, for the matter of that, whose history has been parallel to our own. This, then, is not to our discredit. That which is to our dis credit is our tendency to keep following new crazes, trusting to our recently acquired millions to aecom plish that which it has taken others centuries to pro duce. The result has been chaos and confusion, the one dominant note being oftenest one of mere vanity - the vanity of possessions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stucco House Probably only Tibby knew what happened during those tragic years, and if her knowledge had become clear to her own mind it must have broken her heart. Wherefore she kept the story to herself and spent the years when she was old and alone smiling over the dear absurd things that occurred even in the grimmest times and rarely thinking at all of the cruel strain which had tested her, perhaps, most of all. But stories will out, and this was written in the lines of Tibby's face, as her friends remember her, gazing out of the narrow window above the porch of the stucco house, like a sentinel in a fortress spying out upon a hostile world. In truth she was the guardian of the memories of that house, the last faithful champion of the family that lived in it. The house was roomy: No. 29 Roman Street, so called because there had been a camp there, and no doubt the street was once a track down to the river. The street now leads to an iron-girder bridge over the foul oily stream running through the marshes on which the smoke has destroyed all vegetation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hints on House Furnishing Perhaps these are trite things to say, but trite things are Often neglected truths, to the meaning of which we have been blinded by custom. The more reasonable they seem to be at a first glance, the less likely we are to ponder them until we know the full extent of their reasonableness. We go wrong in the household arts, not because our rash adventures have the charm of novelty, are new and attractive, but because they are too familiar to be understood, and ought therefore to be looked at from a fresh standpoint, one of common reason. Grave writers say, for instance, without the least hesitation. That the arts belong to experts and connoisseurs, and that laymen cannot hope to be on familiar terms with them: an opinion not in the least likely to encourage the public, nor is it borne out by well-known events. Moliere's housekeeper was an excellent critic, Shake speare made a fortune by pleasing the London people, and laymen today are the main patrons of art, let their judgment be false or true. The principles of home decoration are held up as great mysteries, yet their appeals to the mind are quite simple and tangible, like the laws of cricket and football. The difficulty is to play the game well after the rules are learnt by heart. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Honour of the House To the West sloped the rose gardens in broad at terraces, separated by diverging avenues walled in with box hedges, so thick and high as to dwarf a little the square-cut ilexes that mingled their foliage of green and silver in an almost impenetrable roof overhead. Between avenue and avenue, reached only by rare openings cut in the box walls, the gar den architect had laid out bowers of enchanting se crecy, deep, green courts where grass and wild ow ers ran riot; here too were wildernesses of roses and syringas; fountains also to linger near in the hot noonday, with marble benches warmed by the west ering sun for cooler hours, and a vast maze or laby rinth of such ingenious intricacy that the children of the house had been formerly forbidden to enter it, lest they should never find their way out again. This prohibition, indeed, was no longer necessary, for the time of the young Bordelacquas was so strictly meted out that no moment of the day was left free for juvenile escapades.
