 Swedish Beauty
These two authors are well-known Swedish antique dealers in Connecticut and have a new book out this year. This is a delicious tome chronicling breathtaking homes done in Swedish style. The pictures alone will make you want to go out and buy a settee and slightly worn out bureau! This is a beautiful book that makes a wonderful holiday gift or just a gift for the design-lover you know!

Beautifully photographed, and I even enjoyed the text accompanying each home. The resource guide is wonderful. This book is more than a beautiful "coffee table" book.
 Mosty "Modern" Swedish Flavored Styles Featured
The cover of the book leads one to think that this will be a volume of traditional or "antique" Swedish style, but this is not the case. I was personally looking for a book of traditional and old fashioned Swedish interior and exterior styles and this book is not that, thus I gave it three stars. The book is nicely written and there are plenty of photographs and there is a bit of traditional style but the book focuses largely on the modern takes on Swedish style and many of the photos are of places in the United States that have somewhat Swedish flavored styles and definately very modern styles.
good swedish decoration
I was very delighted with this book. The pictures are very fine quality and I was especially excited with the references and pictures of the 10 Chimneys property. I recently visited that property and one could not take pictures of the interiors so this book is a great reference. I only wish there would have been pictures of the master bedroom in the guest house that Alfred had made for his new bride.
Great information
This book has the most beautiful pictures of all kinds of Swedish furniture. Lots of information but most importantly fabulous pictures so you can see how it was used and in what settings. Great if you are adding a few pieces or a lot of pieces to your home. Great resourse for Designers also.
