Author P. Gaye Tapp analyzes each of her subjects' refined way of living, how she embellished her residences (or left them elegantly stark), and the long-lasting effects on today's generation of designers and connoisseurs of beauty. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book is presented in four sections that describe the aesthetic approaches that the ladies took in decorating their abodes: \"The Fashionably Chic\", \"The Unconventional Eye\", \"In the Grand Manner\", and \"Legacy Style\". Each interior illustrates the crucial aspect of the lady's definitive taste. Some worked closely with decorating legends such as John Fowler, Albert Hadley, Billy Baldwin, Syrie Maugham, and Jean-Michel Frank. Others took to the task of decorating single-handedly--like Pauline Trig re, Sybil Connolly, Vita Sackville-West, and Fleur Cowles. The interiors of these trendsetting ladies defied their time and inspire and delight to this day. In \u003ci\u003eHow They Decorated\u003c\/i\u003e, one can learn from the most notable style muses of the last century.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eP.
