Tuscan Escapes by Caroline Clifton-Mogg
This is a spectacular celebration of one the best-loved and most alluring regions of Italy. Featuring an array of beautiful homes, the book is divided into four parts. Natural Charm features rustic houses, characterized by an earthy decorative palette, whose interior design is rooted in the ancient rural traditions of Tuscany. Stylish Simplicity looks at modern interpretations of Tuscan style - from a high-ceilinged barn, now a light and airy loft, to a converted village school. Classic Elegance focuses on larger country homes, restored according a grand decorative design, yet still remaining warm and welcoming, while Idyllic Artistry is devoted to a more eclectic, colourful approach to Tuscan living.
