Happy 4th of July!

From "The Maine House II"
By: Maura McEvoy, Basha Burwell, and Kathleen Hackett
House: Tom and Mary Ann Young

"For the last twenty-five years, Tom and Mary Ann Young, nurturers by nature, have been doing what has long come naturally to them, patiently bringing this quintessential New England home back to life. At the same time, they were raising their two children in a place that had taken their breath away more than thirty years ago. 'Our first impression of the Midcoast was while under sail, and we were utterly taken with its majesty. It rises from the coast unlike anywhere else on the Eastern seaboard,' says Tom. They felt no urge to sail on."

By: Mieke ten Have
Photography by Frank Frances

How does a renowned stylist approach personalizing a space? In this beautiful new book, Mieke ten Have identifies and explains the four principal elements that she always takes into account: Color Theory, Pattern Play, Wild and Tame, and Flowers for Living. She illustrates each of these principles with images of rooms that she has styled for such noted designers as Stephen Sills, Mario Buatta, Alberto Pinto, Rita Konig, and Victoria Hagan in a wide variety of homes and locations.

Then Mieke demonstrates how she applies these concepts, season after season, in her own country home, the Barn. Rich, atmospheric images by photographer Frank Frances document the evolution of the house, capturing the distinctive light, mood, colors, tonality, and textures of each season. Both aspirational and inspirational, Interiors Styled by Mieke ten Have provides countless design ideas for beautifying our surroundings throughout the year.

"Daylesford Living: Inspired by Nature" is out now.
By: Carole Bamford
Photography by Martin Morrell

“English wildflower meadows are a unique feature of our countryside but they are also an important part of traditional, organic agricultural practices, playing an important role in the support of biodiversity. It saddens me deeply that modern, industrial farming methods mean that meadows have reduced by around 97% across the UK since the 1930s and are now scarce. Their decline has had devastating effects on the biodiversity of our farms and with fewer pollinators, the quantity of food we are able to grow will reduce too. But over 20 years of managing organic meadows on the farm has taught us a lot about how to help protect their flora and fauna and allow them to thrive.”

"Houses for All Seasons: Interiors by Gioia Bonomi" is out in October.
By Gioia Bonomi
Photography by Simon Upton
Foreword by Allegra Hicks

To make a house a home requires an expert eye to guide every detail, large or small. In her first book, "Houses for All Seasons", Gioia Bonomi’s choices of colors, lighting, décor, textures, and ephemera in the six private houses featured here, located in the United States, Europe, and the Bahamas, have all been carefully curated to create fabulous spaces. Experience the beauty of Northern Europe blooming in the springtime, the summer vibrance and rich palette of New York in the fall, and finally, winter escapes to the snowy Swiss Alps as well as to the sunny paradise of the Bahamian islands. Bonomi’s style merges a contemporary, graphic outlook among richer classical textures.

The houses—and lush gardens on America’s East Coast, designed by landscape architect Mario Nievera—have been photographed by Simon Upton, whose work is regularly featured in AD, World of Interiors, and Vogue, while a foreword by acclaimed designer Allegra Hicks sets Bonomi’s work in context. Throughout, Bonomi offers decorating tips and insights into her inspiration for each house. No matter the location or season, her style is timeless and eye-catching.

From "Inside Yucatán: Hidden Mérida and Beyond"
By: Susana Ordovás
Photography by Guido Taroni
Foreword by Martina Mondadori

"I have always been captivated by beauty in all its forms. Throughout my early years, I assumed
that most people shared this obsession, but it was only later, in adulthood, that I realized my
love for beautiful things and surroundings was not as common as I believed. From a young age, I
was an avid reader; books fueled my imagination and allowed me to escape to wondrous worlds.
Therefore, it feels serendipitous that one day I would journey through Yucatán and become
enraptured with its remarkable homes and haunting haciendas, ultimately turning my fascination into a book." -Susana Ordovás

"The Maine House II" is out now.
By Maura McEvoy, Basha Burwell, Kathleen Hackett

Home: Joe Cutts

"As a kid, Joe Cutts learned the power of the tides. When catching mackerel off a wharf is the thing you love to do more than anything else, your joy is dictated by the moon’s gravitational pull. So it stung whenever his parents dragged him from the mainland out to the tiny island where his grandparents spent the summer living off the grid—no plumbing, heat, or electricity. 'I would have to miss a whole high tide to go live like it was the nineteenth century. There was a box of salt cod by the front door. I can still smell it,' he says with a laugh."

Words by Mimi Read

Elegant. Restrained. Unpretentious. Sophisticated. Informal. These seemingly contradictory adjectives all characterize the inimitable interior design of Tom Scheerer, who has himself dubbed his style “Relaxed Modernism.” For more than three decades, he has brought his singular touch to city apartments, country houses, and tropical getaways. Each of the dozens of projects compiled in this two–volume set reveals the fierce intelligence, impeccable sense of proportion, and encyclopedic knowledge of design history that inform his deceptively effortless work.

"The Maine House II"
By Maura McEvoy, Basha Burwell, Kathleen Hackett

Home: Drew Hodges & Peter Kukielski


Through 25 homes—inshore, inland, and on islands— McEvoy, Burwell, and Hackett highlight the beauty and importance of preservation, restoration, thoughtful renovation, and low-impact living in the place they love the most.

From visionaries who saw home in a decommissioned lighthouse, a former hotel, and a boat shed to families resolutely leaving generational homes largely untouched (some continuing to live off the grid) and still others honoring vernacular architecture by living with it in surprising ways, "The Maine House II" captures the myriad ways one can live in this singular place—in the present—while preserving the past and ensuring its future.
