Summary

Nancy Corzine: Glamour at Home is an inspirational, how-to decorating book that focuses on Corzine's signature style in creating interiors and a range of home furnishings that have a luxurious and yet underlying practical aspect. Corzine's gracious, wellthought- out rooms and the elements she designs and acquires and integrates into residences--from Manhattan to Palm Beach to southern California--represent a classic, yet utterly contemporary and highly identifiable take on established American and Western European design traditions. Corzine has developed a look of her own that has made her an influential force in the design world. In her book, she discusses personal strategies for making livable and exquisite interiors on a room-by-room basis. From creating an initial impression in an entryway to outfitting a living room that makes it an attractive and usable space, to producing spaces for entertaining, to transforming bathrooms into personal retreats, to outfitting kitchens as functional yet fabulous looking environments, Corzine addresses what can be done to create memorable, appropriate, and aesthetically astute places to call home. The examples presented are admirable not only for their sophisticated taste, but demonstrate how to enhance interior and exterior spaces, even on the most modest budget.
