Book of the Month


Nicky Haslam's Folly de Grandeur: Romance and Revival in an English Country House  by Nicky Haslam Sapling.info Bookstore in association with Amazon.co.uk Nicky Haslam's Folly de Grandeur: Romance and Revival in an English Country House

Nicky Haslam
(2013)
Hardcover - 224 pages
Jacqui Small LLP
ISBN: 0906417857




Synopsis by Amazon.co.uk:
From its humble origins as a Tudor hunting lodge to its present-day status as a protected historic building, Nicky Haslam's delightful 'Folly de Grandeur' is a unique English country house that is one of the renowned decorator's favourite places.

In this beautifully illustrated book, 'Part 1: A History of the House' provides a timeline of the house together with an overview of the design aesthetics that characterize Haslam's look. 'Part 2: The Essence of Style' covers wall finishes, soft furnishings, the transition from room to room, furniture form, style and arrangement, classical elements, and creating tableaux with objets and photographs.

In 'Part 3: A House for All Seasons', you will find a year-round appreciation of this remarkable home, which was once owned by John Fowler, co-founder of the interior decorators Colefax & Fowler. By recounting events - from society gatherings to quiet country weekends - stories about the rooms, and details about the decoration and furnishings, Haslam reveals the personal touches that give the folly its unique sense of life, both indoors and out. Inviting us into his carefully preserved and lovingly decorated country home, he explains the intricacies and delights of carefully mismatched furniture collected over the years, a colour palette of subtle, warming tones that are quietly welcoming and effortlessly romantic, and a wonderful collection of art that is nothing short of inspirational. Finally, in 'Part 4: The Perfect Setting', Haslam shares unique garden design secrets and outdoor 'rooms' that complement his celebrated home.

Michael Proctor
(2013)
Hardcover - 528 pages
Collins
ISBN: 0002201488




Synopsis by Amazon.co.uk:
Another volume (Book 122) in the popular New Naturalist series, this book covers all aspects of the plant life of Britain and Ireland.

He provides a comprehensive account of all the different types of plant habitat in Britain and Ireland: from woodlands and scrubland to meadows and grasslands, from wetlands and peatlands to heaths, and from the mountain vegetation to the sea coast. He examines the history and ecology of each of these habitats, and describes the rich variety of flora found living there.

The author concludes with an account of the changes to our landscape which have taken place during the twentieth century, and prospects for the future, including the effects of environmental change.

Decorating with Style by Abigail Ahern Sapling.info Bookstore in association with Amazon.co.uk Decorating with Style

Abigail Ahern
(2013)
Hardcover - 192 pages
Quadrille Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1849492727




Synopsis by Amazon.co.uk:
Forget perfection - Decorating with Style gives you the confidence to take risks with interior design, embrace what you love, and fill your home with infectiously fabulous stuff: comforting, inviting and imbued with personality. Decorating Abigail Ahern-style is about creating spaces that make you happy - not just buying the latest 'it' chair. According to the internationally renowned interior designer, the most successful homes always have an element of the unexpected. Good taste is wonderful, but without a touch of eccentricity - some tension between spontaneity and rigour, refinement and rebellion - beautifully co-ordinated rooms can leave you cold. Proving that style has nothing to do with money and everything to do with confidence, Abigail goes back to basics to help you determine your own style, then demonstrates how to take interiors to the next level by mixing and layering different styles and eras; injecting intrigue into a room with some maximalist lighting or a decorative rug; and playing around with scale, colour and texture to create an enchanting, idiosyncratic vibe. Packed with original ideas, beautiful photography, speedy updates and easy DIY projects - that transform affordable furniture and accessories into something you'd see in a designer showroom - this hip, hands-on guide offers all the tips, tricks and inspiration you need to create a stylish home. For style-conscious girls on a budget, interior design just got fun...

Reader's Digest
ISBN: 1780200048




Synopsis by Amazon.co.uk and Sapling.info Editor:
The Most Amazing Places to Visit in London' gives you an insider's view of the capital, from the suburbs to the City. London as a destination for visitors is more popular than ever, but in addition to the obvious sights and attractions, tourists and residents alike are seeking out more unusual places to see. Even if you have lived in London all your life, you will find something to surprise you here, whether it is the tent-like tomb of explorer Sir Richard Burton in an East Sheen churchyard, the street in the City which is technically in Cambridgeshire, the best place to play outdoor table tennis, or a restaurant in a former asylum which also housed MI5 and MI6. A special section on the Olympic Park looks at all the amazing new buildings and the park itself, while also covering Olympic locations throughout the city and looking back at London's Olympic history. Overall, this book provides a fresh and unique guide to London, focusing on the most unusual and impressive places - many of which are free to see or enter - as the city prepares to welcome thousands of new visiitors in this special year.

Felling the Ancient Oaks: How England Lost its Great Country Estates by John Martin Robinson Sapling.info Bookstore in association with Amazon.co.uk Felling the Ancient Oaks: How England Lost its Great Country Estates

John Martin Robinson
(2012)
Hardcover - 192 pages
Aurum Press
ISBN: 1845136705




Synopsis by Amazon.co.uk:
A stunning visual record of our most spectacular and scenic country estates that were broken up for sale and lost for ever. A sweeping country estate, with grand house and spectacular gardens and park, would not be the first impression of a visitor to modern suburban Watford. But well into the twentieth century that was exactly what was there - the magnificence of the Cassiobury estate, of which only a modest municipal park survives. Underneath the expanse of Rutland Water lies the once splendid Normanton estate, while Deepdene in Surrey is now memorialised only by an ugly office block. Fortunately, at least photographs live on to remind us of how our landscape looked before death duties, mining subsidence and sometimes the plain impecuniousness of the black sheep in the family took their toll and forced the break-up of all too many historic landed estates. In this elegiac book, a successor to Aurum's Lost Victorian Britain, John Robinson surveys 20 of the most egregious losses, from Costessy in East Anglia to Lathom in Lancashire, and shows how the deer park, the home farm, the parterre and the cottage garden gave way to the power station, the motorway and the caravan park.
