Kathryn M. Ireland is a maven of materials. In addition to having her own fabric line, she freely and deftly mixes other designers’ fabrics as well as international market “finds.” Blending those with quality ironwork, wood, tile, and furniture pieces, Ireland pulls together a magnificent home of unpretentious grandeur.
This is the first of my many design books that I have read cover to cover. It is about the restoration and renovation of an iconic property in Ojai that was originally owned by the Libbey family. Several famous architects were involved with the property over the years. I love Kathryn's Ireland's textiles and style - Mexico meets Morocco.
