Darryl Carter is a leader in the design world, recognized for his restrained, distinguished, and livable environments. Known for seamlessly mixing the modern with the classical, Carter presents a comprehensive guide to creating a home that balances individual comfort with a timeless aesthetic. Comfort is the essential element of a successful interior, but also the most elusive. Too often our design decisions are driven by others. In The New Traditional, Darryl Carter encourages you to be true to your own lifestyle. More than a stunning book, this is an accessible resource for making an elegant, inviting home, responsive to the people who live in it every day. A fresh take on American design, Carter’s work has been lauded as the New Traditional for effortlessly blending classic and modern elements to create personal environments. Patinated furniture, subtle textiles and lighting, and chalky washes of color are among the details that transform a house into a home. Carter explains how you can translate these details into inspired and always calming surroundings. Ignore the obvious. Redefine a dining room so that it doubles as a library by lining the walls with bookshelves and using wing chairs in lieu of dining chairs. Stain wood floors white to create a greater sense of space. Build rooms around art. Carter shows that designing your home is a process to be enjoyed.

"Historic Inns and Hideaways" is not just a laundry list of hotels and pertinent facts and numbers. Rather, the author concentrates on 30 of the most interesting historical hotels within driving distance of Washington, DC and takes her readers on an historical journey, highlighting the spirit and essence of the hotel and its environment. Nuggets of history bring each site to life. Woodrow Wilson, spent part of his honeymoon at the Homestead, F. Scott Fitzgerald lived at the Grove Park Inn in Ashville while his wife recuperated at nearby Highlands Hospital, and Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, and other literary types hung out at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. Bo Jangles was a waiter at the Hotel Jefferson in Richmond before moving to fame and fortune in Hollywood, Abe Lincoln stayed at the Willard Hotel prior to his inauguration, and had to wait for his first pay check as President before paying his bill. While the hotel or inn frames each chapter, there are also highlights of things do and see while in the area. Pertinent information regarding the accommodations, addresses, phone numbers and websites are included for each site.

Imagine a house built and tailored to your every need and personal taste. Hugh Howard dreamed of such a house, and when he and his wife, Betsy, learn that they're expecting their second child, he seizes the opportunity to build a home for their growing family. Fifteen months later and just in time for the winter holidays, Howard, exhausted and wildly over his budget, completes their home-a fine 2,500-square-foot Federal-style house. And each piece has a story, from the cut nails that come from Howard's old elementary school janitor to the staircase that comes from a parsonage built just after the Civil War. Howard discovers that all his planning and hard work earn him a house, yes, but he also gains a community of new friends-the people who help him along the way. There's Charlie, whose ancestors helped establish the upstate New York hamlet where they build the house; Ralph, a third-generation mason, who constructs a remarkable Russian heater; and Robbie, an eccentric Irish landscaper who has his own peculiar way of designing a garden. HOUSE-DREAMS is for readers who spend weekends improving their houses, hardware store die-hards, and the millions who regularly tune in to the Home Garden Network and PBS's This Old House.
