If you’re looking for the perfect book to gift this holiday look no further than interior designer Cathy Kincaid’s first title, The Well Adorned Home: Making Luxury Livable. I recently received my copy and can’t stop pouring over the pages of gorgeous imagery–it’s definitely placed Kincaid among my all-time favorites of American decorators working today. Published by Rizzoli with a forward penned by design icons Bunny Williams and John Rosselli the book was bound to be promising, but it more than exceeding my expectations. Kincaid’s work is traditional without being stuffy, warm and richly layered, and always full of great interest. Needless to say, if you like the timeless style I share on this blog, you’re going to love this book. Below, explore some snippets from Kincaid’s portfolio that are shared in the gorgeous publication and feel free to order your own copy here. (Photo: Tria Giovan)
