In her first book, Elle Decor A-List decorator Ashley Whittaker shares the secrets of her colorful, pattern-filled classic rooms. Ashley Whittakerâs work is distinctively classic and sophisticated, but also inviting and warm. Dubbed a neo-traditionalist, she fearlessly marries adventurous colors and patterns in rooms yet still manages to retain a sense of elegance and restraint.
In The Well-Loved House, she shares a selection of dwellings, from gracious Connecticut estates to chic Manhattan pieds-Ã -terre to waterfront beach houses on the Florida coast, most exclusively photographed for this book, including her own house never before seen. Whittakerâs houses all share both a sense of drama and a sense of comfortâthey are homes that welcome you at the end of a long day, homes for living, homes to love.
