A glorious celebration of America s most storied handpainted wallpaper company, family owned for 125 years, featuring dozens of rooms by today s top interior designers.
"The story of Gracie wallpaper, founded in 1898 and still family owned by the sixth generation, is one of the great untold stories of American interior design. Best known for their exquisitely detailed designs, Gracie papers have been installed at the White House and many of America's most notable homes. This volume features hundreds of color photographs of contemporary rooms by today's leading interior designers and shows the range not only of the papers themselves--from beautiful florals and birds to panoramic landscapes of American folk scenes and French pastoral hillsides to hunting and maritime scenes--but also the imaginative ways they can be used to create truly transporting spaces. Designs in every imaginable color, from metallics to lush greens, cobalt blues, radiant yellows, to dramatic chocolates show that with Gracie, any room in the home can become a true, custom work of art" --Back cover.
