She is beautiful and accomplished and creates a world of sublime prettiness that made me want to do the same. Her china collection is out of this world. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: Carolyne Inspires Me
Comment: I first discovered Carolyne many years ago and she has gone on to a wonderful life. Her NYC double height great room is out of this world and I just returned from Edinburgh, Scotland and stayed at The Balmoral....when I went in to Tea I was amazed. This room looks exactly like Carolyne's. I eagerly await her new Blue & White Book due out this Fall to add to my collection.

Summary: Feast for the Eyes
Comment: What a feast for the eyes! I loved the photography and her lavish table settings. I, too, entertain a lot and use themes to guide my table settings and my menus - so I loved all the ideas that she shares. She plans each "event" around the seasons - utilizing the flowers, food and color palette of spring, summer, winter or fall. I use this book as I do cookbooks - as an inspiration for whatever ocassion is on tap - paging through for anything that jumps out at me.
I thought the shots of the flowers were particularly bold and graphic - encouraging the readers to use fresh flowers as a centerpiece or accent whenever possible.
I have been a huge fan for many years and recently visited Weatherstone (her home in Connecticut) when she had a wonderful tag sale this past June. She was there (in that magnificent setting)signing books and was as gracious and beautiful as ever. Her line of gift wrap is gorgeous - encouraging us all to take the extra time to make even the package look spectacular. For those of you who don't know - she has a wonderful quarterly newsletter available through her website www.CarolyneRoehm.com. It is packed full of sumptuous details and ideas to stimulate all your decorating and entertaining senses.
I am a Connecticut-based Interior Designer/Photo Stylist who loves everything beautiful - and this book is exactly that.
