A house is a dwelling and structure, while home evokes the emotions and memories of a life well lived. A home is where the seasons meld into one another and the next thing we know, a decade has flown by. Home welcomes us after long days, work trips, and the ever-changing rhythm of life. Home evolves, and décor is a key part of that, whether it’s redecorating or remodeling.
In this book, Farmer takes you on a tour of homes that he and his team have designed across the country. Places that evoke the seasons of clients’ families and set the stage for seasons to come. From the farmlands of Georgia to the Carolina Lowcountry, the Blue Ridge Mountains to the citrus groves of Florida, to college towns, Martha’s Vineyard, and a cottage in Mississippi, the homes on display are inspirations in traditional Southern style and reminders that traditional décor can set the tone to celebrate our homes wherever they are.
James Farmer is a Southern author, interior designer, gardening expert, and entertainer known for his ability to create welcoming homes. This will be his third interior design monograph (following A Place to Call Home, Arriving Home, and Celebrating Home) and his eleventh book overall. His work has also been featured by Flower Magazine, House Beautiful, Traditional Home, the Today Show, and many more publications and outlets. Born and raised in Georgia, James has built his business in his hometown of Perry. He lives in Perry, Georgia, and maintains a home in Cashiers, North Carolina.
Emily Followill’s photographs have been featured in Farmer’s books A Place to Call Home and Celebrating Home; in her own book, Southern Rustic Cabin; and in numerous publications, including Veranda, Milieu, Garden & Gun, Traditional Home, and others. She lives in Atlanta.
