Description

Illuminations is an inspirational guide to living by candlelight. From the simplest of concepts (assemble your own private moonlit lake by surrounding the tub with tapers, votives, and tea-lights) to more elaborate ideas (light a pathway through the garden with pillar candles atop burnished copper plates) this essential guide offers inventive ideas and practical advice for using candlelight in the most dramatic, effective, and stylish ways. The illustrated glossary fully explains the different types of candles and candleholders and advises which are best matched to certain occasions. It includes inspiring text and countless glowing touches suitable for every occasion and room of the home.
