The elegant, clean classicism of Philip Mitchell's style
is on full display in these homes, where he masterfully
incorporates a wide-ranging mix of antiques, vintage
collectibles, and contemporary pieces-everything
from inherited furniture collections to modern art-in
rooms that are filled with memories and warmth. As a
master of what he calls modern maximalism, Mitchell
embraces the challenge of taking wonderful things that
a homeowner already has and making more of them.
Once Mitchell has established a connecting thread
among a variety of disparate pieces-whether through
finish, material, scale, color, texture, or line-he starts
the process of building the relationships that bring a
space to life.
Brilliant photographs take readers on in-depth tours
of nine homes, ranging from an elegant Upper East
Side pied-à-terre to a classic cottage on the water in
Nova Scotia. Mitchell's personal narrative in elegant
text enlightens, while his takeaways accompanying
each home help readers understand how to blend new
and old, mix colors and patterns, and fill a home with
an eclectic mix that is truly their own.
