Rating:  - An assessment of Charlotte Moss: a flair for living
Visually, this is a beautiful book.The photography is excellent, and it is the pictures that provide value.The narrative has less impact, as little in the way of concrete information is given.In the end, however, the various rooms, inspite of their beautiful contents, leave an impression of emptiness.One cannot imagine people actually living in these rooms, and leaving any human imprint.The rooms are perfect as in a museum, but just as in that setting, no one may sit down.
Rating: - Real Antiques, Faux Flair
Moss is really good at the visuals (and textures) of interiors, and she has what's clearly a reverence for the history of home and garden design. Both help create the richness of image and inspiration that are this book's primary appeal. Less attractively, she does seem out of touch, not only with ordinary folks but also with ordinary emotions. You'll get some gorgeous visuals for the steep cover price here, but be warned that there's nothing "lived in" about this "flair for living."

Rating:  - Her BEST book yet!
This book is filled with beautiful photos of the most superbly arranged and layered rooms that Charlotte Moss has ever done. Each page is loaded with visual ideas and requires careful study in order to see everything.

Rating:  - A laypersons perspective
I always purchase design books with some trepidation since I am not a designer and do not own a McMansion.I do have an 1880 square foot ranch home built in the 1980s that deserves to be both beautiful and well preserved. I also have a strong interest in good, functional design that combines beauty and comfort.Although I am certain I could never afford Ms. Moss's services, her book was the next best thing.My mantra is now "your home should reflect who you were, who you are and who you are becoming." ...

Rating: - Timeless
This lovely book has exquist photos and is well written. I also like that it does not look like all the other recent books that show the "new look" but that she has shown us rooms that are timeless and not trendy. It is easy to follow the current fashions, but much harder to creat a room or a series of rooms that indeed look fresh through generations. You only need to make a few minor changes and the room is updated while with the "new look" you will be dated in no time and have to redo everything.
