An intimate tour of quintessential Provencal style, featuring chic homes and interior details inspired by this picturesque region Thirty years after the publication of Peter Mayle’s bestselling memoir A Year in Provence, the sun-drenched southern French region continues to excite home decorators with its combination of rustic charm, elegant details, and historical influences. Provence Style showcases the best of the region, with Shauna Varvel’s quintessential 18th-century Rhône valley farmhouse—Le Mas des Poiriers—as its centerpiece. Named for the working pear orchard on the grounds, the property was reimagined by noted local architect Alexandre Lafourcade, who transformed a rough structure into a luxurious expression of the Provençal aesthetic, referencing historical influences, rural traditions, and Parisian taste. Set amid a garden of allées, arbors, and terraces designed by the architect’s mother, renowned landscape designer Dominique Lafourcade, this exemplar of Provençal style is the starting point for exploring the region’s characteristic interior details and exterior features. The book includes chapters on the public spaces of the home, from entrances to living rooms, the private realm of bedrooms and bathrooms, and outdoor areas including patios and kitchen gardens, transporting the reader on a captivating stylistic journey.

A close-up look at 50 artists-their work, their studios, their style-creating a wide variety of art in the HamptonsIt's one thing to admire an artist's work; it's another to get a real feel of the person behind the work. In these pages you'll get a close-up look at 50 painters, sculptors, printmakers, photographers, and mixed-media artists who are living and working on the famed East End of Long Island, New York. Photographer Jaime Lopez has captured each artist both in revealing portraits and at work in their studios, and journalist and curator Coco Myers has contributed insightful interviews. The East End has long been a magnet for artists who are drawn to the inspiring nature of the landscape-the light, the fields, the farms, and of course, the expansive sea. And while the legacy of artists like Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, and others remains strong, the area continues to be rich in talent today. Lopez's photographs and Myers's text reveal the creativity, intelligence, and humor of these 50 artists as well as the vibe of their workplaces and the tools of their craft.
