Black-and-white pencil draw­ings alongside museum-quality watercolours by Easton’s partner, James Steinmeyer, show the conception and development of the rooms, accompanied by stunning photographs of the finished interiors.

Written with Annette Tapert, author of The Power of Style and former contribut­ing editor to Architectural Digest, and with a foreword by famed designer Albert Hadley, Timeless Elegance will serve as a homage to David Easton as well as an inspira­tion to his many fans.
