Distinctly Modern Interiors Review: A review from a lover of traditional design - Let me start out by saying, I am not a modernist. I love modern traditional design, meaning design that is rooted in tradition but, having been collected over time, includes modern elements in the mix. That having been said, after seeing some online photos I decided to take a chance on this book. In the introduction, the designer describes how she came to embrace modern design, and also her great love for travel. From there, this book has three main sections, each with two or three projects highlighted in each section, for a total of 14 homes. The designers two homes are included in the first section. Having my own preference for more traditional design (and a love for collecting), my favorite chapters were the designers two residences, the two homes featured under "Modernizing Tradition", and also the two in "Hunting and Gathering". As I'm less interested in the "Who's Who" of modern design, I read all the text but frequently skimmed over the specific names that were mentioned. I enjoyed reading the inspiration for each of the projects, and the photos are high quality and lovely. I don't see myself collecting a large volume of books on modern design, but I am happy to add this excellent book to my collection as a splendid example of that style. Review: Beautiful Book - This book is filled with Modern Decor, and each picture i beautifully taken. Perfect for ideas, or just to appreciate Modern interiors. This book is big, and beautiful, Emily Summers is amazing!

BENT ENDS of the book
Like the book, but the said part is “both” ends is “bent” that’s a lot to pay looking like that.
