The Spirited Homes of Hunt Slonem by Brian Coleman by Whoopi Goldberg

An iconic American artist's self-proclaimed life's work - bringing historic
mansions to life with bold color, antiques, myriad collectibles, and
objets galore.
My homes are my life's work - making old houses into a new form of my art,"
says Hunt Slonem in his preface. Extraordinary photography, capsule
summaries of each building's history, and a sprinkling of anecdotes open the
doors to Slonem's personal and creative world from a new perspective. This
book about his idiosyncratic, maximalist interior design style - how he employs
color, arranges an abundance of antique furniture, exhibits his personal art
and objects, mixes antique artwith his own contemporary works, and displays
myriad collections is awe-inspiring and inspirational. "More is more" is a fit
adage for what this book reveals.

Brian D. Coleman is a practicing psychiatrist in Seattle, Washington. An oldhouse enthusiast, he has grown his love for historic restoration into an active
second career and is the author of 23 books, including Zuber, Porthault, and
Fortuny, among his most recent. Brian divides his time between Seattle and
New York.
