For all those who choose to live "imperfectly" with the messy things
they love, this book shows how to do so creatively, happily, and with
considerable style ideas from leading designers. A beautiful and
inspiring volume, A Perfectly Kept House is the Sign of A Misspent Life
focuses on living well with everything that makes a house a home. If
you have been influenced by the picturesquely cluttered studios of
Pablo Picasso or Alexander Calder, or by the art- and book-filled house
of Vanessa Bell, this unique style book will stimulate you with its
creative ideas.This volume explores how real-life tastemakers
(photographers, textile designers, fashion designers, writers, artists)
integrate their life and interiors to live well with their passions,
histories, conveniences, and inconveniences. In inspiring essays, Mary
Randolph Carter muses on such key housekeeping concerns as clutter
versus mess; open windows; and unmade beds. Combining practical tips
with liberating philosophy—"Don’t scrub the soul out of your home";
"Make room for what you love"—this volume celebrates living beautifully
and happily, not messily. Lavishly illustrated with intimate
photographs of different living spaces, Carter exalts in the beauty of
imperfection and in living perfectly in our "imperfect" homes. Life
isn’t perfect—why should your house be?
