A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Carleton Varney is "Mr. Color," known for his inventive use of unexpected color combinations and for creating bright, happy interiors. His projects have ranged from some of the world's most famous resorts, such as the Greenbrier in West Virginia, and the Grand Hotel in Michigan, to the White House, as well as residences from Europe to the South Pacific.

As a young man, he trained under the tutelage of design world-icon Dorothy Draper. Now as the head of the venerable Dorothy Draper and Company, Inc., Varney continues the tradition of grand scale and bold contrasts in fabrics, wall coverings, and furniture designs, and yet he gives every room his signature style. For the first time, he gives an "on the set" tour of his popular HSN television show, Live Vividly.

"Living with color changes your life," says Varney, and in Mr. Color, more than three hundred dazzling photographs by Michel Arnaud show you how.

Contents: Chapter One: A Memory for Color Chapter Two: Townhouse Color Chapter Three: Local Color Chapter Four: Time for Color Chapter Five: Color Inside Out Chapter Six: A Splash of Color
