Before she won the Pulitzer, Edith Wharton wrote about rooms. With architect Ogden Codman, she makes the classic case that a calm, honest, well-proportioned home shapes the life lived inside it. You will discover principles of light, proportion, and simplicity that quietly rebuke clutter in any century, told in prose as elegant as the rooms it praises. A heritage classic for lovers of beautiful, restful spaces. Play the sample and walk through the front door.
