House Of Rose

"The Widow of Rose House is close to perfection and any lover of historical romance will adore this debut." - Smart Bitches Trashy Books It’s 1875, and Alva Webster is ready for a fresh start. After three years of being pilloried in the presses for fleeing her abusive husband, his sudden death allows her to return to New York where she is determined to restore a dilapidated Hyde Park mansion, and hopefully her reputation at the same time. She is decidedly not supposed to fall in love. But when a haunting at her new home threatens her careful plans, she must seek help from the eccentric and brilliant and - much to her dismay - very handsome Professor Samuel Moore. Alva doesn’t need more complications in her life, especially not a convention-flouting, scandal-raising one like Sam. Unfortunately, Sam is the only one who can help. Together, the two delve into the tragic secrets wreathing Alva’s new home while Sam attempts to unlock Alva’s history—and her heart. Set during the Gilded Age in New York City, The Widow of Rose House is a gorgeously romantic debut by Diana Biller, with an intrepid and resilient American heroine guaranteed to delight readers as she starts over and finds true love. "A chemistry-fueled debut with a bit of a ghost story, great for readers of gothic romance." - Booklist "Biller mirrors Wharton's genius for revealing the emotional gold lying beneath the Gilded Age, which motivates the novel's massive romantic turmoil." - Bookpage (Most Anticipated Romances)

Marilyn Monroe, Ronaldinho, and now Lolita--the layers of newspaper that line Rose Wylie's studio floor are a frequent source of material for the artist. Drawing from such wide-ranging cultural areas as film, literature, mythology, news images, sports, and individuals she meets in her day-to-day life, Wylie paints colorful and exuberant compositions that are uniquely recognizable. This new limited-edition zine, titled Lolita's House, puts these larger-than-life works front and center, Wylie's animated, vivacious strokes now canvassing the page. Bold, wild, and continually humorous, Rose Wylie creates paintings and drawings that at first glance appear aesthetically simplistic, not seeming to align with any recognizable style or movement, but on closer inspection are revealed to be wittily observed and subtly sophisticated mediations on the nature of visual representation itself. These works make use of an idiosyncratic visual lexicon, the directness of cartoonish figures, and a flattened perspective, but simultaneously betray a deep awareness of art history and painterly conventions. Published on the occasion of Rose Wylie: Lolita's House, this zine presents a new series of paintings and works on paper made specifically for Wylie's second solo exhibition at David Zwirner, London in 2018. Loosely referencing a house that was constructed across the street from Wylie's residence in Kent, England, Lolita's House continues the artist's ongoing fascination with the shifting nature of memory and the multi-layered external associations that become attached to it over time.

An elegant manifesto for Rose Tarlow’s approach of blending the personal with the aesthetic to create timeless, beautiful spaces. One of the most influential designers working in America, Rose Tarlow’s signature approach is as much an emotional matter as it is one of color, light, fabric, and furniture. This essential book encourages readers to decorate with elegance and personal style through simple principles of creative design that are appropriate to any home. Finely designed in a modest size, the book is powerful in its intimacy, offering insights into the mind of a master designer—as well as a glimpse into some of the extraordinary homes she has created. Long out of print, the book is republished in its entirety from the original edition of 2001—with photography from Oberto Gili, Derry Moore, and Tim Street-Porter, among others—and updated with new images and a new afterword by the author. The Private House is a classic of modern interior design and an inspiration to creative homeowners.

Cambridge, Massachusetts-based architect Peter Rose has built on every scale during the first three decades of his practice. High-profile projects, such as his master plan for the Montreal waterfront and his award-winning Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal have brought him both public recognition and the respect of his peers. Besides being known for his artisan's love of solid building materials, craftsmanship, and old-fashioned building methods, it is perhaps no surprise that his residential projects function as laboratories for new ideas. Peter Rose: Houses presents five such houses in complete detail from client collaboration and site evaluation to construction. Rose draws inspiration from the outward simplicity and order of houses of the past but recognizes that their quiet strength depends on a complexity that comes only from thoughtful consideration of site, plan, exterior, and details. Rose insists on a close collaboration with his clients, who come to him because of his reputation for deliberately restrained, livable homes in harmony with the landscape. These residences and second homeson Martha's Vineyard, in New York City, Vermont, and Connecticutare masterful combinations of light, texture, and weight. They are an exquisite fusion of the natural and the man-made, of craft and architecture.
