Known for designing welcoming Southern homes, Historical Concepts, one of today's leading traditional architecture firms, is now working on diverse projects across America and in exotic locales, such as the Caribbean and Patagonia. A multigenerational team of architects is extending the firm's founding philosophy--expressing both timeless and inventive perspectives on design. Showcased are beautifully photographed country estates, coastal retreats, and pastoral properties, all weaving the classical principles of symmetry, scale, and proportion with vernacular motifs and artisanal craftsmanship to create stylish and comfortable backdrops for contemporary living. Sophisticated interior decoration and stunning landscapes accompany the architecture, creating a harmonious sense of place. Through engaging stories that inform, Andrew Cogar shows how to reimagine the traditional home--whether an elegant Greek Revival pavilion, a chic Hamptons summer house, or a reinterpretation of a historic Charleston single house--to capture one's unique point of view. Visions of Home is an invaluable resource for those who enjoy the warmth and charm of traditional architecture.
A Review of: At Home in the English Countryside: Designers & Their Dogs by Susanna Salk and Forward by Nina Campbell
"An intimate celebration of British country life with all the hallmarks of how design and dogs are as intertwined as roses and Wellingtons. This dreamy look into some of the most beautiful country homes and gardens in England, lived in by many of Britain's brightest design stars and their dogs, is brimming with inspirations.
At Home in the English Countryside showcases a mix of glamorously bohemian and casually aristocratic country homes captured in original photography and lively text. Presented are the striking and chic houses of several of Great Britain's top international designers, from Paolo Moschino and Kit Kemp to Anouska Hempel and Veere Grenney. Beloved canines of several sizes and breeds, among them whippets, Labrador Retrievers, lurchers, Cavalier Kin Charles spaniels, and Jack Russell terriers, are shown in their picturesque homes and gardens of fragrant flowers.
The designers offer ideas on how to live stylishly with their dogs. Seen are dog collars (one of custom leather and green malachite), dog bowls of antique Spode porcelain, and chic and comfy napping spots. Anglophiles will be inspired by the lives of these designers, who are devoted to their canine companions."
I lost my little angel a few days ago, it was so sudden I didn't have time to realise. I got the news and ten days later I had to take her to go to sleep. She was by my side for 14 years day and night, she was my best friend. I live alone so the hole that she has left is enormous. Bless her.
Stephanie- I am so sorry. The loss of a pet is extreme in its pain and sorrow. After the mourning period, I hope you find another “best friend”. So many need love and they return it in spades.
Our Yorkie is a treasured family member. So happy to be reminded how it’s possible to live with grace and style while sharing space with our four-legged besties.
I needed a pick me up so I put your channel on. Thank you.
The wonderful bond between man and animals is so special may it go on forever
YES!
Each video is like a Matryoshka doll - a thousand treasures nesting within. Bravo.

Love your channel and review of books. Will you be reviewing Susanna Salk's book, At Home with Designers and Tastemakers: Creating Beautiful and Personal Interiors? I am really interested in this book but my local Barnes & Noble does not carry it. I would love to see a review for it before I ask for it for Christmas. Thank you for your lovely channel. I look forward to what you'll be reviewing next!
Hi Jennifer- I can’t remember why, but I didn’t want to buy this book at full price. I don’t know if it was the content or the price itself. I will get it, but after Christmas, as December is dedicated to Holiday related content. If you do order it let me know your thoughts. 💕📚
@@thetartantopiary I've been waiting for it to come down in price; usually I'll buy either a used copy or like new once the price comes down. I'm pretty sure I've seen all the houses I believe she is featuring in this particular book as I watch all the Quintessence videos on UA-cam, but I still want the book. Thanks for your reply. Love your channel!
Who does your "background music???" It almost (well, does) make me emotional...luv it. franki
