DESCRIPTION:
An admitted spokesperson of the underworld surrounds himself (and his family) with suitably garish and kitsch furnishings. Most owners are in the arts (or a related industry), in love with color, and experts at eclecticism. Edwards shows off her skills in this portfolio of 42 mainly urban spaces. From Booklist London, staid London, becomes probably the most provocative, diametrically opposed city in the world when its living interiors are exposed. Exuberant color photographs and minimalist text make for a repeatable and enjoyable viewing experience. And the book pays tribute to Margaret Tyler, owner of the largest stash of royal memorabilia in the nation (if not anywhere in the world). All rights reserved. There's a male trio who believe in crowning all of their stuffed animals. Barbara JacobsCopyright © American Library Association
Expect to be surprised, delighted, and inspired by this wild array of interiors. London is the capital of cool, full of famous artists, photographers, musicians, writers, decorators, designers, architects, and film-makers- and here is a chance to sneak into their homes!

London Interiors - 2012 and 2000 version nearly identical, but fun to browse Jk wilson This book, which is actually just a later edition of the earlier 2000 version, presents many different types of homes (flats, lofts, industrial lofts, etc) and the eclectic decorating schemes. Lots of great ideas and enjoyable to browse. Do be careful, as I mentioned, because both the 2000 and the 2012 versions of this book have nearly identical contents, but with different covers. I purchased both books, and the seller I dealt with was very very quick to help when I pointed out the similarity between issues. I will give a similar rating to the 2000 edition of the book.. Cool View into Londoners Living Their Design Dreams Fabulous photos and a tremendous variety in decorating styles make this a fascinating look into the homes of Londoners. *London Interiors* features homes of both celebrities (people like suit designer Ozwald Boateng and one of the Gallagher brothers and his wife) and non-celebrities (including some pseudo-celebrities such as designers and internet entrepreneurs.)What the people in the book have in common is their interest and ability to use a space to its utmost/ create a space which really speaks to them personally. These folks are all successfully practicing "unofficial" feng shui, wearin. HOMES IN THE EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF COOL Pam Sommers Contemporary London is an extraordinary city - endlessly creative and imaginative, vibrant and contradictory, multiculturally unique, paradoxically sophisticated and iconoclastic, sometimes eccentric, but always intriguing. This book is a window on the private worlds of a handful of Londoners whose homes reflect the city in all its spirited diversity.Architect John Pawson and wife Catherine's rigorously minimal, utterly disciplined, nearly color-free home contrasts with the lush, jewel-toned environment of clothing designer Ozwald Baoteng. Peter Hone's extraordinary West-London flat is pack
