Zusatztext “Since 1991, Odom and Kate Stamps, founders of architecture and design firm Stamps & Stamps, have been creating traditional English-inspired homes and gardens through a sunny California lens. The first section of this book explores their Pasadena home, the converted 1904 carriage house of a Greene & Greene estate and two of its petite guesthouses, plus a handful of local projects that explore more bohemian themes. The second part is devoted to practical advice (even a few cocktail recipes), as well as Kate’s tips on upholstery, flowers and design resources. As the foreword aptly states, the couple creates homes “that prioritize the pleasures of domestic life.” —LUXE "With pristine attention to detail, the Stamps & Stamps design firm in Southern California shows how to create a mood with floral patterns, brimming bookshelves, and overstuffed armchairs.
