ReDesigning Design: Your Home as Art

By Caroline Dunlop Millett

CONFIDENCE is what ReDesigning Design gives everyone who really wants a genuinely beautiful home environment. This intensely interactive book was written explicitly for you Here you'll learn how to tell your own story in your own home. Making a personal style statement in our era of Eclecticism is a genuine challenge due to the current plethora of choices - from the Greek Klismos chair to Minimalist nothingness. ReDesigning Design greatly simplifies the entire process by means of TEN MASTER DESIGN STEPS. While teaching at the University of Pennsylvania, I observed that almost all successful interior design work was the result of one common process. Almost always that process begins with self-discovery. Stories and games help you reveal yourself to yourself. Then you learn how to make a sound budget, arrange and light rooms, create color schemes, and shop successfully. For those who require the assistance of professionals and tradespeople, additional advice is provided on how to find the best - and most affordable - support system. HOME AS ART. As you work your way through all the master steps you will be learning, perhaps unconsciously, the fundamental principals of aesthetics. Special guidelines are provided for those who think their artistic abilities are limited, I show you how to work with experts to make aesthetic judgments based on your own sense of style. ALL-IN-ONE INTERIOR DESIGN RESOURCE. The master design steps are supplemented by a specialized glossary and period style chronology. You can also use the book as a personal diary or scrapbook. Within its pages you may collect ideas, photos, sketches, paint chips, floor plans, or whatever else you may need to complete your project.
