American Decoration: A Sense of Place Hardcover – October 30, 2012

If the title on Dutch houses are anything like the three on Belgian design-homes of designers,architects,plus another We cant title as the cover and spine and opening pages are not there.Of course they were too heavy and too expensive to ship back from Australia, so there they sit,ugly DOORSTOPS.We value books too highly to bin them,but the contents are not worth a look.How these 3 books got published is the big issue...in over 30 years as both a consumer and provider of design and style coverage,I have never seen ANYTHING OF SUCH ABYSMAL STANDARD,!!as we don't read their language it is hard to give pub.details,but two,Living in Brussels,Belgian Designers& their Interiors at least have covers...the 3rd seems on Belgian Architects...new book,NO COVER,or opening pages. All three are minus many pages,and what there is NOT in English.

A remarkably beautiful book. Though not all rooms were to my taste there was so much to learn! Almost every photo had valuable take-a-ways. Thomas Jayne is an American master. A really nice plus was that the rooms obviously were designed for real people.

Classic style and wonderful rooms of the wealthy clients that must have enjoyed the order and taste of Mr. Jayne! Beautiful rooms that are not over done….tasteful and elegant.

Love Thomas Jaynes Designs

Lovely coffee table book and great ideas

A beautifully written and well considered book on the author's own work . . . not many decorators can capture the essence of their approach so well. And, of course, the interiors are beautiful.
