DESCRIPTION:
This volume of interiors, illustrated with 250 colour photographs, provides the inspiration for bringing the flair, elegance and comfort of the American South to your home. In addition to interiors, the stately architecture, lush landscapes and gardens of the region are also featured.

While some Southern traditions and trends have fallen by the wayside--for example, the trend of having a formal living room--others, such as formal dining rooms, have abided for decades because of their practical nature or cultural importance. There's also a chapter regarding the South's efforts to preserve old architecture and interiors, as well as a listing of historic Southern homes and museums. Author Mark Mayfield and the editors of Southern Accents magazine have a firm grasp of the essence of Southern style and provide guidance on working the style into your own home; gorgeous full-color photographs provide the visual inspiration. A resource guide at the end of the book lists Southern interiors shops by state. Southern Style captures this easygoing yet s
Mark Mayfield is the Managing Editor at SOUTHERN ACCENTS, a magazine focusing on the interior design, gardens and lifestyle of the American South.
