Individuality in house-furnishing has seldom been more harped upon than at the present time. The cheap originality which finds expression in putting things to uses for which they were not intended is often confounded with individuality; whereas the latter consists not in an attempt to be different from other people at the cost of comfort, but in the desire to be comfortable in one's own way, even though it be the way of a monotonously large majority. It seems easier to most people to arrange a room like some one else's than to analyze and express their own needs. -from Chapter II: "Rooms in General" This classic 1898 manual of interior design is considered a standard reference of the art, and perfectly useful more than a century later. Here, renowned American architect OGDEN CODMAN, JR. (1863-1951) is joined by American author EDITH WHARTON (1862-1937), whose novels, including The House of Mirth (1905) and the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Age of Innocence (1920), took us into the wealthy-and tasteful-New York society she hailed from. Together, they offer timeless advice on such matters as: [ the importance of balance and symmetry [ how to avoid the superficial application of ornament [ the necessity of adhering to proportion [ the proper material for fireplace andirons [ the usages of cornices [ the decoration of windows [ and much, much more.

Excerpt from The House Dignified: Its Design, Its Arrangement, and Its Decoration The need of the present volume has grown out of the fact that, while palatial houses are springing up everywhere throughout our country, the cost and magnificence of which are widely exploited, but little heed has been given to a true consideration either of environments or of the application of detail. Some word, therefore, seems desirable to check those elaborate outlays which not only produce among lovers of the best a feeling of dismay, but establish among the thoughtless standards that are corrupting in their influence. The word "corrupting" has been used advisedly. There can be no influence so deteriorating in any art, especially in that associated with interior decoration, as the foisting upon a credulous public of gross imitations, and stamping these with names that have always stood for truth and excellence. When these imitations have been guaranteed by that endorsement which a startling price-mark invariably lends, a certain authority, for the moment at least, has been established.

Excerpt from Art in the House: Historical, Critical, and sthetical Studies on the Decoration and Urnishing of the Dwelling The description which we have given of Egyptian houses in general applies also to palaces, whose plan was identical, though on a far grander scale. Approached, like temples, through avenues of human or ram headed sphinxes, they con sisted of a series of courts surrounded by colonnades, to which pylons of colossal proportions gave entrance, and of many small chambers occupied by the king, his wives and children, and the officers of his household with their attendants. There were also several sanctuaries dedicated to as many divinities, where the king, who was deified during life, worshipped his own image as well as the images of his ancestors, and took part in other sacred rites.

Excerpt from Interiors Beautiful and the Decoration of the Home Perhaps no feature of the house is of more importance than the hall. It is there, the first impressions of the dwel ling and its inmates are received. It should have an atmosphere of dignity, yet friendliness. It should invite, not repel. It should be generous, and not mean or niggardly. A small, narrow, cramped hall in a house of any preten sion, at once stamps the character of the owner. Nothing lends such dignity and charm to the hall as the staircase, when well designed. And perhaps among all the types none is so attractive as the Colonial, either curving in graceful lines, or in a straight flight to the floor above. The combination of white spindles and dark mahogany is quite irresistable. Many forms of this favorite type are herewith illustrated.

Excerpt from Our Homes, and How to Beautify Them T is the way with some authors, when they desire to believe they have written a useful book, to say in the preface that it supplies a long-felt want. I should be glad if I could console myself with a similar pious fraud. But to advance such a plea, having regard to the large number of books which have been printed about furniture and the decoration of the house, would be to court sarcastic comment. For truly the name of such books is already legion. To begin with, there are the Histories of Furniture from the earliest periods to the present time profound, and occasionally interesting, compilations. Then there are the Books of Designs issued by furniture makers like Chippendale, Sheraton and Ince - forerunners of the modern Furniture Catalogue. Then there are the great number of pamphlets, treatises, and brochures written on the subject of Art in the Home, in which ladies with a pretty taste dogmatise in the nicest afternoon-tea manner on how to make artistic lamp-shades, paint door - panels, and beautify a drawing room with aesthetic remnants at I/rr% a yard.
