An intimate celebration of British country life with all the hallmarks
of how design and dogs are as intertwined as roses and Wellingtons. This
dreamy look into some of the most beautiful country homes and gardens in
England, lived in by many of Britain's brightest design stars and their
dogs, is brimming with inspirations.
At Home in the English Countryside showcases a mix of glamorously
bohemian and casually aristocratic country homes captured in original
photography and lively text. Presented are the striking and chic houses
of several of Great Britain's top international designers, from Paolo
Moschino and Kit Kemp to Anouska Hempel and Veere Grenney. Beloved
canines of several sizes and breeds, among them whippets, Labrador
Retrievers, lurchers, Cavalier Kin Charles spaniels, and Jack Russell
terriers, are shown in their picturesque homes and gardens of fragrant
flowers.
The designers offer ideas on how to live stylishly with their dogs. Seen
are dog collars (one of custom leather and green malachite), dog bowls
of antique Spode porcelain, and chic and comfy napping spots.
Anglophiles will be inspired by the lives of these designers, who are
devoted to their canine companions.
