Home Swell Home Designing Your Dream Pad

Sex and the City meets Martha Stewart in this guide to home decorating by the successful team that brought Swell. Home Swell Home is about creating a dream pad--exploring design fantasies and learning how to make them real. The first design book for "zoomers"--twenty to thirty something consumers whose hip and hurried aesthetic has been largely untapped in the home market. Their aesthetic is equal parts retro and techno, nostalgic and futuristic. They're girls with Charlie's Angeles hairdos on beanbag chairs beaming messages at each other on their Palm Pilots. They have cyber speed attention spans. Their tastes run from decadence to disposable chic. They're trendy savvy, but rugged individualists. Magazines like Wallpaper and Dwell cater to them, as do home furnishing chains like Pottery Barn's Elm Street collection and Crate and Barrel's CB2 line. But there's no book to tell them the things they have got to know--until now.Rowley, Cynthia is the author of 'Home Swell Home Designing Your Dream Pad' with ISBN 9780743442770 and ISBN 0743442776.
