"Good taste can be developed in anyone, just as surely as good manners are possible to anyone. And good taste is as necessary as good manners," declared Elsie de Wolfe, the "first lady" of American interior design. Although de Wolfe decorated the homes of wealthy, socially prominent clients, she always maintained that her vision of elegant but comfortable living is attainable to all. This timeless 1915 book, written in a friendly, conversational tone, explains how to design, furnish, and decorate a house in order to make it a beautiful, useful, and livable home.

De Wolfe pioneered the concept of the home as a representation of the owner's identity, and this book defines her decorating methods, philosophy, and approach to creating spaces for gracious entertaining. Part step-by-step manual and part aesthetic treatise, this volume advocates for simpler yet more refined decor. In contrast to the Victorian penchant for dark furniture, bric-a-brac, and heavy draperies, de Wolfe advised her readers to let in natural light, to replace gaudy colors with beige and ivory, and to abandon clutter. Her practical suggestions, illustrated by period photographs, illuminate the attitudes of a century ago while retaining their resonance for modern-day interior designers.

My picky husband approves of it.
Color: Two Tone - Cobalt Blue
Nice quality. Fits the right amount of slots for cards. Not too big or bulky. The wallet is very nice with the built in anti theft to protect your personal information. The clip on the side makes it perfect for cash only transactions. It is a nice front pocket wallet. Came in a nice tin can as well. The blue on blue that I got is my favorite one. My picky Husband approves as he loves front pocket wallets.

Close, but no cigar
Color: Pop Color - Navy/Red
Most of the features I wanted. Not quite as slim as I though and the mag money clip does hold enough bills, at least for me. I will use it for a while.
