There are so many wonderful new book releases this fall, and I cannot wait to share my favorites with you! One of my favorite designers, James Farmer, has released his ninth book — Arriving Home: A Gracious Southern Welcome — and I think it is his best yet. In the introduction, Farmer says, “I hope the common thread seen is not how well a room cleans up for a photograph, but how each room glows from within. The ability to host a family gathering, a cocktail party, or the reading of the Saturday-morning paper or a good book — all with a gracious dose of Southern charm, personality and style — is the task at hand for our designs.” Mission accomplished!
From a grand Connecticut country home to a stately St. Louis house or a columned antebellum Alabama home, Farmer’s style travels the country to set the tone for the lives of his clients. Homes in the city, the mountains, the country, and coastal locales are all reflected in this journey while being rooted in Southern design. James Farmer’s mantra is “traditional style stands the test of time,” and every beautiful home featured in this book is timeless in addition to being warm and welcoming.
This is such a beautiful book! You can order your copy of Arriving Home: A Gracious Southern Welcome via Amazon or through James Farmer’s website. For additional information, please visit www.jamesfarmer.com, and check out Farmer’s other wonderful books:
