If you love elegant furniture and soft colors, and you’d rather fill your home with flowers and candlelight than cutting-edge technology, then you’ll adore Romantic Style. In this beguiling book, stylist Selina Lake and interiors writer Sara Norrman show you real homes, beautifully decorated with an eye for the elegant. Warm whites and creams, vintage furniture, lace and embroidery, dainty glassware and decorative china all feature, and while you will find ornate mirrors and antique French armchairs, less is very often more. Romantic Style can be restrained, with just a couple of pieces taking centre stage against a neutral backdrop. This makes it a surprisingly easy look to reproduce. Once you have a feel for the chief components of the style, you can roll it out in any room, adapting it with your own treasured pieces and favorite colors. The book begins by exploring Romantic Inspirations—Vintage Romantic, Simple Romantic, Elegant Romantic and Modern Romantic—four very different facets of the romantic look. Next, Romantic Styling outlines the key ingredients of any romantic scheme, with advice about colors, flowers and fabrics as well as displaying your treasures and lighting. The third section, Romantic Rooms, takes a room-by-room tour of the home, with explanations of how to recreate such a scheme yourself. Romantic Style isn’t a look dictated by passing trends or the latest styles or materials. At its heart lies a desire to create elegant and peaceful interiors that function well, but also uplift and comfort us. Using a mix of contemporary, antique, and flea-market finds, Romantic Style gives any home an serene and gently feminine feel.

Fiction. Once upon a time that doesn't make a blind bit of sense, in a place that seems awfully familiar but definitely doesn't exist, Willem Seiler's obsession with measuring his world--with wrapping it up in his beloved string to keep the madness out--wreaks havoc on the Wakeling family. Noranbole Wakeling, living in the scrub and toil of the pantry and in the shadow of her much wooed and cosseted sister, is worshipped by the madman Seiler but overlooked by everyone else. As lives are lost to Seiler's vanity, she spots her chance to break free of the fetters that tie her to Tiny Village, and bolts. But some cords are never really cut. In her absence, the unravelling of the world she has escaped is complete, and another madness--her mother's--reaches out to entangle her newfound Big City freedom. The unpicked quilt-work of a life in ruins threatens to ruin her own, and it will be up to Noranbole to stitch it all together. Dark and funny in equal measure, LAKE OF URINE is a sui generis romp through every fairy-tale convention and literary trope you can think of, including the wicked stepmother, the fairy godmother, Pinocchio, an enchanted penis, the goose that laid the golden egg, binary code, marmalade art and alcoholic meat snacks you can drink. It is also a merciless takedown of self and self-importance, satirizing a society that exalts the inane, drowns out the sane and eschews the divine for the profane, and a lament for the dreadful weight of our own origins, for the heartbreaking impossibility of absolute reinvention, and the heartening tug of the ties that bind us.
