About Decorating: The Remarkable Rooms of Richard Keith Langham

This amazing work is beautifully photographed and as brilliantly crafted as the homes designed by superstar interior designer Langham. Successfully showcased are 13 of Langham's outstanding designed homes, ranging from manor houses to barns, from seaside jewels to town homes, and listed under the delightful headings of "Georgian on My Mind," "Barn Again," "Tropical Punch," and "Bricks and Bones," among others. The illustrations bear witness to Langham's genius in decorating for personality, suitability, and comfort, as well as Southern charm. He successfully mixes the traditional feel with touches of contemporary and the one-of-a-kind, and his rooms range from restrained subtlety to a cacophony of color and patterns with a diverse combination of styles, textures, and surfaces. The closing section, "From Brewton to Manhattan," serves as a minibiography and career summary of Langham's journey from Alabama to New York and beyond, his work with the firm Irvine & Fleming, and captivating stories of his encounters with clients Mr. and Mrs. William F. Buckley Jr. and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Langham designs for every type of setting or location.
