Book excerpt: Excerpt from The House Dignified: Its Design, Its Arrangement, and Its Decoration The need of the present volume has grown out of the fact that, while palatial houses are springing up everywhere throughout our country, the cost and magnificence of which are widely exploited, but little heed has been given to a true consideration either of environments or of the application of detail. Some word, therefore, seems desirable to check those elaborate outlays which not only produce among lovers of the best a feeling of dismay, but establish among the thoughtless standards that are corrupting in their influence. The word "corrupting" has been used advisedly. There can be no influence so deteriorating in any art, especially in that associated with interior decoration, as the foisting upon a credulous public of gross imitations, and stamping these with names that have always stood for truth and excellence. When these imitations have been guaranteed by that endorsement which a startling price-mark invariably lends, a certain authority, for the moment at least, has been established.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art in the House: Historical, Critical, and sthetical Studies on the Decoration and Urnishing of the Dwelling The description which we have given of Egyptian houses in general applies also to palaces, whose plan was identical, though on a far grander scale. Approached, like temples, through avenues of human or ram headed sphinxes, they con sisted of a series of courts surrounded by colonnades, to which pylons of colossal proportions gave entrance, and of many small chambers occupied by the king, his wives and children, and the officers of his household with their attendants. There were also several sanctuaries dedicated to as many divinities, where the king, who was deified during life, worshipped his own image as well as the images of his ancestors, and took part in other sacred rites.

Download or read book The Decoration of Houses written by Edith Edith Wharton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of books on interior design have come and gone since the 1897 publication of this pioneering manual, but The Decoration of Houses remains, thanks to the insightful and inspiring advice of its co-authors. Before she became the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton was a society matron, remodeling a summer home in Newport, Rhode Island. With the able assistance of architect Ogden Codman, Jr., Wharton assembled this corrective to the rampant vulgarity of her nouveau riche neighbors. Wharton and Codman defied the excesses of the Gilded Age, counseling readers to reject the popular penchant for clutter in favor of simplicity and balance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Homes, and How to Beautify Them T is the way with some authors, when they desire to believe they have written a useful book, to say in the preface that it supplies a long-felt want. I should be glad if I could console myself with a similar pious fraud. But to advance such a plea, having regard to the large number of books which have been printed about furniture and the decoration of the house, would be to court sarcastic comment. For truly the name of such books is already legion. To begin with, there are the Histories of Furniture from the earliest periods to the present time profound, and occasionally interesting, compilations. Then there are the Books of Designs issued by furniture makers like Chippendale, Sheraton and Ince - forerunners of the modern Furniture Catalogue. Then there are the great number of pamphlets, treatises, and brochures written on the subject of Art in the Home, in which ladies with a pretty taste dogmatise in the nicest afternoon-tea manner on how to make artistic lamp-shades, paint door - panels, and beautify a drawing room with aesthetic remnants at I/rr% a yard.

Download or read book Successful Houses Classic Reprint written by Oliver Coleman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Successful Houses There are comparatively few people who at one time or another do not have to face the problem of household furniture and decoration, and who do not at such times experience a sensation of comparative helplessness. To assist them there have been published two classes of books only, one in which the information is of the most shocking character, utterly devoid of taste, judgment or good sense; the other in which the laws are of a learned and technical character, but difficult of application by private persons in their own homes. Many of the latter class of publications are great authority, and could their intent be thoroughly absorbed would lead to radical improvements in the popular ideal of household decoration; but unfor tunately, besides the ponderous text, the illustrations are usually chosen from views of palaces and other great houses, and convey no suggestions to the discouraged housewife with a few hundred dollars to expend at most. The author in this volume has attempted to take another course, to describe, without formulae, certain undeniable principles, to indicate their application, and to illustrate the result by giving pictures of the interiors of eminently good houses. Some of these are inexpensive, some compara tively costly, but all are the homes of private citizens without any especial pretense of great wealth. The author is indebted for this opportunity to the series of articles published in The House Beautiful, entitled Successful Houses, for which the owners have allowed these photographs to be taken.

This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Interiors Beautiful and the Decoration of the Home Perhaps no feature of the house is of more importance than the hall. It is there, the first impressions of the dwel ling and its inmates are received. It should have an atmosphere of dignity, yet friendliness. It should invite, not repel. It should be generous, and not mean or niggardly. A small, narrow, cramped hall in a house of any preten sion, at once stamps the character of the owner. Nothing lends such dignity and charm to the hall as the staircase, when well designed. And perhaps among all the types none is so attractive as the Colonial, either curving in graceful lines, or in a straight flight to the floor above. The combination of white spindles and dark mahogany is quite irresistable. Many forms of this favorite type are herewith illustrated.

Download or read book The House Beautiful and Useful written by H. Elder-Duncan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The House Beautiful and Useful: Being Practical Suggestions on Furnishing and Decoration AT the Publishers' request, I have endeavoured to give in a fairly brief form some notes for the benefit of those who are faced with the problem of decorating 'and furnishing a home. There have been several works issued in recent years with a similar object in View; but their authors, as far as I can discover, have not kept in view the all-important ques tion of cost. To remedy this omission is one of the factors governing the appearance of the present volume. The ideal method of furnishing a home is to employ the services of a talented Architect and Craftsman, so that every piece of furniture and every scheme of decoration is an individual production - the only one of its kind - expressing the owner's taste and individuality. Unfortunately, such an ideal is only possible in the case of wealthy people. Nine-tenths of the population must continue to buy articles of furniture which are made to pattern by the dozen, and to employ schemes of decoration that have their counterpart in many other dwellings. It is the object of the following chapters to give some guidance to the selection of such furniture, and to indicate more or less desirable directions for decorative effort. While the majority of people cannot afford to employ an Architect or Craftsman, the person of average intellect and a certain amount of taste can do much for himself.
