    Description
    Celebrate what's beautiful about traditional style while breaking some of its rules: Take a page out of a designer's book and add your own sense of relaxed whimsy and exuberant personality to create spaces that are versatile, original, and truly livable.
    That's designer Celerie Kemble's philosophy in a nutshell. It's all about blending a classic sensibility with a dose of irreverence and a dollop of humor to achieve a home that's tasteful, eclectic, always evolving, and always welcoming.
    Celerie takes you by the hand, gives you a detailed look at many of her signature interiors, and enthusiastically reassures you that, with the right information and attitude, you can overcome challenges and artfully achieve the ultimate design goal--a perfect blend of beauty and comfort.
    From finding inspiration in childhood memories, current trends, and favorite belongings to working around real-life design dilemmas (such as a lack of space or light, or awkward floor plans) to selecting just the right furnishings (including rugs, lamps, and accessories), 'Celerie Kemble: To Your Taste 'infectiously proves that when making a beautiful home, the process is the best part. Kemble reveals dozens of the coveted residences she has designed, and also teaches readers how to blend their real lives and the fantasy lives they imagine in their own homes. 200 full-color photographs throughout.
