Design Diary Review

Nice book with some photos better than others. What's really interesting is the use of before / after floorplans and room shots. Very telling in their transformations. The photos of his summer house in the Hamptons are quite, quite pretty and better than some of the interiors he's done for some of his clients. Innovative interiors? Not really, but very pretty for the most part.

Design Diary by Noel Jeffrey

I never write reviews but had to on this one. This book was an incredible journey through different periods and styles. I appreciate Mr. Jeffrey's sense of design and style. Smart without fussiness, Clean without being cold and then the amazing antiques and art work. Mr. Jeffrey's rooms are like musical masterpieces, harmonious and never tiring!!!!!

Absolutely Fabulous

This book is just what you would expect from the very talented Noel Jeffrey: beautiful, livable, informative. I've always admired Mr. Jeffrey's work--especially the show houses he has done--and this puts in one place all of his creativity and innovation. Not stuffy, this is a trained and casual elegance; what I think most of us are trying to achieve in our houses. I don't want to live in a museum; I want to live in an environment. With his versatile view of design--Noel Jeffrey offers here about 25 different options.This is a great read and a great buy.
