The Art of Interior Decoration (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press) Grace Wood

In 1916, Emily Burbank and Grace Wood published The Art of Interior Decoration. The following year Emily Burbank published Woman as Decoration (1917), which was intended as a sequel. She also wrote Be Your Own Decorator (1922). "Beautiful things can be obtained anywhere and for the minimum price, if one has a feeling for line and colour, or for either. If the lover of the beautiful was not born with this art instinct, it may be quickly acquired. A decorator creates or rearranges one room; the owner does the next, alone, or with assistance, and in a season or two has spread his or her own wings and worked out legitimate schemes, teeming with individuality. One observes, is pleased with results and asks oneself why. This is the birth of Good Taste. Next, one experiments, makes mistakes, rights them, masters a period, outgrows or wearies of it, and takes up another.
