A Place to Call Home by Gil Schafer

Leave a comment

My last post included a beautiful New York home designed by architect and designer Gil Schafer. Gil Schafer is not only a talented architect and designer but he is also the author of several books including “A Place to Call Home: Tradition, Style, and Memory in the New American House” that was released at the end of September. The images I am sharing today are from the new book via Gil Shafer’s website and Amazon. gil schafer book_a place to call home_Reviving Charm_cover

I design houses to be comfortable, gracious, and understated, and to stand the test of time.” –Gil Schafer

My home is filling up quickly with books but after seeing these images I am tempted to make room for one more! You can buy your own copy of the book here. Alternatively, pick up a book at one of the remaining book tour events. You check out this page to see if Gil Schafer is coming to a town near you. If you attend, be sure to tell him that Reviving Charm says “hello”.

 

HAPPY FRIDAY – HAPPY WEEKEND

I am not sure about you but a beautiful home and gorgeous landscaping will stop me in my tracks each and every time. It’s Friday and the weekend will soon be here so I thought I would just share some random prettiness today just because it makes me happy.

I am looking forward to dinner out with Mr. B tonight and a birthday luncheon for my mother tomorrow who is celebrating a milestone birthday (70 years young!). We will finish “un-decking” the halls by removing the last remnants of Christmas and I will be finalzing plans for an upcoming trip. Happy weekend! What are you up to this weekend?
