Summary

"New York-based stylist Colin King shares his wisdom and insights for cultivating beauty in our everyday surroundings--composing objects into simple, sophisticated vignettes that enrich our homes and our lives. We all desire our rooms to look attractive and reflect a considered approach. Now we have the mastery of Colin King to help us elevate our spaces into environments of personal creativity. Image after image, readers will discover how Colin works his magic when arranging objects on coffee tables, mantels, bookshelves, bedside tables, windowsills, and more. Through a series of anecdotes and visual essays, Colin unpacks his intuitive and deeply personal process, meditating on scale, proportion, palette, and texture. It's not about buying new things, but rather about dusting off old favorites and seeing them with fresh eyes--looking beyond intended use to discover deeper meaning in the everyday. There's always the element of chance while contemplating new arrangements again and again. Styling, readers will discover, is a metaphor for life and a daily practice to be honed over time."--, Amazon
