Adore October 2020

this book so much. My favorite passages are when she is describing things like "scattered losses" — when bits of gold leaf have fallen away or patina, when layers of washed painted finishes or weathered wood glows from within. Her message is clear: fill your environment with things you love and your interiors will tell timeless stories. I'm so excited to visit Tara's eponymous new showroom on historic Magazine Street which will open later this month. It's a fabulous addition to a street renowned for antiques and a perfect place to present Maison, her collection of inspired reproductions. If you have a thing for chipping gilt, chalky paint, and crusty carved wood, this is the book for you. I'm checking off several hard to shop for people on my holiday list — history lovers, interior design lovers, Nola lovers, and those of you who love a stylish coffee table book — you just might find this under the tree.
