Barry Dixon Interiors Very well organized book on Mr. Dixon's designs, showcasing his interiors. The book combines his design maxims, his color tips, his take on proportion and, surprisingly, some of the resources and vendors he uses.

I would recommend this volume, and found it to be a valuable p. Excellent book for both beauty and ideas! This is an excellent book for both the sheer beauty of interiors created by Barry Dixon and for applicable ideas for any home. His sense of scale, texture, drama and "warmth" is at the top of the measuring rod. MUCH more than just pretty pictures.
