"Beautifully photographed, this inspiring book is a must-have for design-savvy readers who desire a simple, but stylish, lifestyle." -KDHamptons.com "If you want someone savvy and skilled to help you navigate the wide array of whites, solid tips for editing (even if you're a collector!) and how to perfect your guest bedroom, this is a must-read. . . Tricia's elegantly simple approach to design and outlook are something to be appreciated as a remedy for our overly complex lives." -FrankiDurbin.com "The first-person account, illustrated with 200 stunning photos, makes for an inspiring read as Foley revisits the pitfalls, triumphs and 'how to's' of dusting off [her] house's old bones and bringing it back to life as an inviting, functional and chic domain. . . The book is packed with tips on what to look for when an older house seems like a bargain, the joy of working at home, organizing storage spaces, casual entertaining, and decluttering without guilt; Foley has been there, done that and tells it all." -NEWSDAY "To be honest, I wasn't sure if I would find inspiration in Foley's book, which features the author's 18th-century Long Island farm house that has been decorated almost solely in atmospheric shades of white. After all, I'm an unabashed lover of color who treats white as a utilitarian hue. But leave it Foley to convince me that there is poetic beauty in a home awash almost solely in white. In Foley's hands, white breathes life into her home's interiors, creating a dreamy elegance that would otherwise be obscured by bold colors. I might remain committed to color, but thanks to Foley, I now have great admiration for her compelling and inspiring point of view." -THE PEAK OF CHIC BLOG "New York-based designer Tricia Foley just published a new book, and it's safe to say we're obsessed. Life/Style is unbelievably gorgeous: clean, simple designs, natural materials, vintage furnishings styled with a rustic sensibility. Plus it's peppered with nuggets of Foley's design wisdom, from tips on styling a table to advice on bringing together a collection of objects to create a polished vignette. And the photography is incredible." -NousDecor.com "Foley's timeless, classical style is characterized by clean lines, natural materials, and vintage furnishings. Through beautiful photographs, she explains how to select the perfect neutral tone; create an artful tabletop; and organize a calming work space, efficient pantry, and more. Stunning and stylish, just like Foley." -COLORADO HOMES & LIFESTYLES MAGAZINE
