The owners of the acclaimed stores and decorating firm Circa Interiors
present eight stylish, beautiful homes blending comfort, beauty, and
function with classic Southern hospitality. A house with an open door is
like a friend with an open heart: inviting, generous of spirit, and
constant at the core. In their first book, Jane Schwab and Cindy Smith
present beautifully arranged interiors in which the trademarks of their
style—subtle color palettes, graceful furniture, an emphasis on comfort
and entertaining—harmonize to create fresh yet classic rooms. Walking
the reader through each home with their characteristic Southern charm,
they share their vision and process, from big-picture topics such as
room flow and furniture plans, to the importance of entryways and
setting a beautiful table. The lessons also extend from the interior to
the garden, as Schwab and Smith discuss how outside spaces can become
natural extensions of the home for entertaining. Throughout, they share
specific ideas for arranging rooms to welcome one, two, or four people
as comfortably as fifty, establishing multifunctional, adaptable
gathering places that are both gracious and functional for the family of
the house as well as their guests.
