This week, How They Decorated, an extensive and visually-attuned look inside the homes of great 20th century women, was published. The book, which is written by P. Gaye Tapp, is divided into four distinct sections—Legacy Style, In the Grand Manner, The Fashionably Chic, and The Unconventional Eye. That’s a weighty set of sections to live up to, but from visionary artists (Georgia O’Keeffe), to green-thumbed socialites (Bunny Mellon), the book more than covers the gambit of stylish women.

The Times UK
"The life of these “swans”, almost all dead now, is coming up for review in a series of books about their lives. They’re so remote from the expectations of 21st-century girls, they could be Elizabethans. Their stories started with fashion-land books about how they looked and what they wore, and their extraordinary ladies-who-lunch lives. Now the focus has moved to their houses — because these dames had houses across the country, and across continents, like other women had pairs of shoes...This interior rediscovery is starting with P Gaye Tapp’s How They Decorated, which shows what those houses looked like and how their owners lived."
