One of the deans of American interior decoration  William Hodgins follows in the footsteps of the legendary Billy Baldwin and also Sister Parish and Albert Hadley  for whom he worked early in his career. Based in Boston since the late 1960s  Hodginss work encompasses residential commissions from New England to Florida  as far west as California  and overseas. His interiors have been celebrated in the pages of Architectural Digest  House \u0026amp; Garden  House Beautiful  and other magazines and books. This is the first publication entirely devoted to his oeuvre  which spans five decades.  Hodginss rooms are beautiful  thoughtful  and poetic; they are airy  light-filled spaces. They are also  in his words  as extraordinarily luxurious as they can be in a quiet  understated way. Handsome architectural detailing and a soothing palette work their magic and create visual flow; Hodgins is a master artist  his designs reminiscent of Merchant-Ivory films. A Hodgins interior is governed by white  and the decorator invokes the slightest of subtleties and different shades of white. For Hodgins  whites reflect the quality of life and light in a room. They glow behind the art and furniture  are restful  timeless  and age gracefully. Yet Hodgins is also noted for his judicious use of exquisitely clear and jewel-like colors: this skillful combination makes his interiors special  inviting  and comfortable.  Among the forty notable commissions covered in this generously illustrated book are the private quarters of the American ambassadors residence in Paris (1997)  a pied-a-terre in a 1920s Beaux-Arts apartment building on San Franciscos Nob Hill  several prewar cooperative apartments in New York City  and a considerable number of houses and apartments in the Boston and Washington  DC  areas and in Palm Beach  Florida. The majority of his commissions have been carried out for repeat and loyal clients  many of whom have commissioned him to decorate multiple homes. This presentation of his work will be valued not only by professional decorators but also by everyone seeking the best in interior design. 280 color illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45793982251061,"sku":"ByrdShop_0393733467","price":210.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780393733464_bbc46312-859c-4edd-ad11-6c369d50670f.jpg?v=1788292227","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/william-hodgins-interiors-9780393733464","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
