Editorial Reviews

10/01/2016
Veranda senior editor López-Cordero has assembled a collection of 25 homes, previously featured in the magazine, that exemplify the theme of creating a sanctuary whether in a second home or a space in one's residence. For these professionally designed interiors, he explains how the designers, and some homeowners, have created rooms and outdoor spaces to suit various needs and lifestyles. In the more than 200 color photographs, he shows how successfully their wishes have been executed in vacation homes, country estates, and city dwellings located primarily in the United States. VERDICT This coffee-table tome will be useful for ideas on devising a tranquil space or for daydreaming about living in the lavish interiors presented.
