The Finest Rooms in America: 50 Influential Interiors from the 18th Century to the Present is a selection by Thomas Jayne, one of America's best decorators and scholars of American design. It is a definitive record of the finest American interior design with an authoritative text and luxuriant color photography.
The book includes a complete cross section of extant rooms covering a broad range of American periods and styles, beginning with the Tea Room at Jefferson's Monticello and continuing to the present, concluding with Albert Hadley's modern sitting room. The rooms range from the opulent to rustic; they are traditional and modern and span the breadth of the country.
Among those featured are the dressing room at Vizcaya in Miami, the living room at Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House in Los Angeles, the dining room at the Saarinen House at Cranbrook Michigan, and the living room by Frances Elkins at Casa Amesti in Monterey, California. Prominent contemporary designers include Bunny Williams, John Saladino and Albert Hadley. Many of the rooms have never been published before and some are cherished classics.
Jayne's engaging and erudite text places each room in context, identifying the elements that contribute to its success. Within the text he presents the idea that refinement is not about expense but about thought. This book 's correct unique record make it a must-have volume for everyone interested in quality, American design and interior decoration.
