Embracing Beauty - by Beth Webb (Hardcover)

About the Book

"The highly anticipated second book from esteemed, Atlanta-based interior designer Beth Webb, known for her ethereal, lushly textured interiors, is a study in organic elegance. Inspired by her previous experience as an art dealer, Webb designs beautifully composed spaces. She believes in the power of light, and shadow, in creating atmosphere; a pale, luminous wallcovering may be balanced by the presence of antiques, or a chapel-like white bedroom may segue into a deep gray sitting room. As important is a sense of hand: the feeling of glazed earthenware, a worn oak farm table, the softness of fine linen. Webb is also motivated by the pursuit of joy and the power of beauty--she makes sure these are rooms for living, for gathering with family, for refuge. A celebration of home as sanctuary, Webb's new book instructs and inspires readers to embrace the beauty that is all around us."--

Book Synopsis

The highly anticipated second book from esteemed, Atlanta-based interior designer Webb, known for her ethereal, lushly textured interiors, is a study in organic elegance.

Webb is an internationally recognized interior designer admired for her exquisite, light-filled residences. Her second book features homes from across the country, from Sea Island, Georgia, to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Inspired by her previous experience as an art dealer, Webb designs beautifully composed spaces. She believes in the power of light, and shadow, in creating atmosphere; a pale, luminous wallcovering may be balanced by the presence of antiques, or a chapel-like white bedroom may segue into a deep gray sitting room. As important is a sense of hand: the feeling of glazed earthenware, a worn oak farm table, the softness of fine linen. Webb is also motivated by the pursuit of joy and the power of beauty--she makes sure these are rooms for living, for gathering with family, for refuge.

Accompanied by guiding inspirations from art, landscape, history, and travel throughout, Webb shares fourteen serene residences, from her own home in Brays Island, South Carolina, with its pavilions of wood, stone, and glass nestled under a canopy of ancient oak, to a gabled, storybook Arts-and-Crafts inspired Kiawah Island residence on the edge of the Atlantic.

A celebration of home as sanctuary, Webb's new book instructs and inspires readers to embrace the beauty that is all around us.
