The decorating evolution of Bryan one of the great patrons of interior design has gone from classic modernism to sumptuous traditionalism to romantic eclecticism and everything in between, with the collaboration of such renowned interior designers as Tom Britt, Mica Ertegun, Susan Gutfreund, Mark Hampton, and Studio Peregalli Sartori. Each residence and each room make up an aesthetic memoir that explores those collaborations, reveals insights into the various processes, and inspires others to look at their own spaces and consider a myriad of beautiful and appropriate options. Anecdotes divulge her astute guidance and the charming idiosyncrasies of some of the twentieth century s greatest decorators. For Bryan, decorating has been a fifty-year journey of education, relocation, and transformation with homes in New York City, Palm Beach, East Hampton, Brussels, and Paris to name a few. Each of the twenty-three residences that Bryan has called her own has been a stepping stone in the development not only of one woman s style, identity, and character but also of American interior-design history.

"A rare perspective guides this interior design volume. Katherine Bryan is, among many things, a longtime patron of American design legends across many different residences. Through her eyes, this volume studies the work she solicited from Albert Hadley, Mark Hampton—who was 'not only a decorator but also a scholar' in Bryan’s words—and other talents over 40 years. Detail shots of chintzes, photos of her children in her furnished houses, and original sketches color this volume, which is also an ode to New York: Four of the featured residences are in Manhattan, three are in Long Island. Her narration, alongside contributions from AD editor Mitchell Owens, proves that this process has shaped her own design sensibilities. In her own words: 'Decorators are teachers, and if you’re lucky, you will become a good student as well as a grateful client.'" — ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST"A patron of interior design, she has embraced a plethora of aesthetics, including modernism, traditionalism, romantic eclecticism, and everything in between.
