Modern Nostalgia illustrates how to mix clean, modern style with the traditional furnishings, period antiques, and collectibles you love. Ease into contemporary home design with Modern Nostalgia. Despite predictions that the new millennium would find us lounging on shiny metallic and disposable furniture, most people still want room for familiar classics - whether graceful Windsor dining chairs, a beautiful country French table, or a prized collection of matchbox cars. If you treasure tradition, and nostalgia but long for the easy, simplicity of modern style, this book is for you. Here is a collection of rooms that intrigue with a unique fusion of design ideas--harmoniously mixing heirloom pieces and contemporary looks. This streamlined, modern style guide will help you: Give crowded rooms breathing space, atmosphere and depth. Balance rooms with a blend of old and new. Use "pieces with a past" to create a softer, looser style. Hold on to the things you love, and give them drama, impact, and ease with fresh MODERN style.
