"Antiques add a sense of time and the human hand. Each dented toddler cup, repaired table cover, imperfectly or perfectly preserved piece of silver or porcelain tells a story that began long ago and hasn't ended yet. There are no rules about living with them, except to take what's old and keep it young by making it part of daily life." The past meets the present in excellent style in this guide to incorporating heirlooms and antiques into stylish and contemporary contexts. Featuring interiors decorated by collectors, antique dealers, and well-known design professionals, author Susan Sully demonstrates ways to create tradition-inspired interiors that aren't fussy or stiff and breathe new life into old things by varying finishes and upholstery or combining objects in surprising juxtapositions. Sully also explains how to display collections creatively, to set inviting tables, arrange interesting tabletop compositions, and successfully mix and match objects from varied styles, periods, and degrees of formality. The selected homes unveil the beauty and significance of antiques in every setting, from casual to elegant, rustic to refined.
