Summary

Kathryn M. Ireland is a maven of materials. In addition to having her own fabric line, she freely and deftly mixes other designers' fabrics as well as international market "finds." Blending those with quality ironwork, wood, tile, and furniture pieces, Ireland pulls together a magnificent home of unpretentious grandeur. This book chronicles the sympathetic restoration of a Wallace Neff designed estate in Ojai, California, including the home and stables.

Excerpts

The restoration wasn't so much a project as a full on love affair. And it shows. The property has that rare quality: a real living atmosphere as well as perfect pitch between the design choices and the raw bones of the wonderful relic that initially caught her eye."
