Charlotte Moss: A Flair for Living

Gorgeous rooms, but extremely grand and over the top, May 24, 2008
By Decorating Diva (New York)
I've been a great fan of Charlotte Moss interior design (beginning with my exposure to her Lexington Avenue shop in the 1980's/1990's) and books from her very first, Passion for Detail, published in 1991. Her last, Flair for Living, is a beautiful, over-sized coffee table book with spectacular photos of rooms she designed for her newest home (New York City townhouse) and others she designed for clients.
