5.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly captures the character of the South, June 27, 2005
By 
Mary B. (New Orleans, LA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Southern Rooms II: The Timeless Beauty of the American South (Paperback)
I'm a big fan of Southern Accents magazine, so I was thrilled to get this book as a gift. Many of my favorite Southern designers (Phillip Sides, Suzanne Kasler, etc) are featured in it, with GORGEOUS photos of their projects and sometimes their homes. I usually don't read the text in decorating magazines, but this book is incredibly well-written. I loved the story of the woman who hired the mountain man to build her log cabin, and how he lived in a tent on her property for six months! The author did a great job of capturing the character of each designer, and really letting their Southern quirks shine through. If you're looking for inspiration and excellent design tips (along with a little Southern history), buy this book today!
