Provides the authoritative, instructional, and fun guide to linens so you can live and entertain with linens with knowledge, ease, and a personalised style that works for you. From her years of experience as founder and owner of couture fine linens company Leontine Linens, Jane Scott Hodges has assembled a trove of expertise, practical advice, and a range of savvy insight into the art of linens in our daily lives, and here she shares them for the first time. Her philosophy centers around the idea that you do not need to have a family crest or host regular luncheons to live elegantly with linens. In this comprehensive volume, there is something to be gleaned by everyone - from the twenty-something aspirer to the long-time linen collector and expert entertainer. Instructional and inspirational, she offers an array of guidance for the table, bedroom, and bath - and all of the elements and occasions thereof. Beautifully illustrated while at once informative, there is also an invaluable do-it-yourself element that shows the reader the potential to change the look of a room with linens without having to redecorate the space. From simple to lavish, Linens transforms the idea of what it means to live and entertain with linens in new and unexpected ways.
