  • A Place To Call Home: Timeless Southern Charm by James T. Farmer III Gardener and Interior Designer.
    To Purchase: www.amazon.com/dp/142364543X/r...
    The Tartan Topiary is supported by its viewers, thank you. A purchase using the link above will help in our efforts to continue providing book reviews.
    This wonderful visual delight is just over 200 pages. It features the designs of James Farmer III, who is a master at turning a house into a home. He believes a home is a backdrop to our lives. A place we should long to be. A home should offer respite and rejuvenation. It is where we plop our groceries and do our laundry. It is where we relax and lay our heads to sleep. Farmer offers ideas on how to make all areas of our home calm our minds and sooth our souls. One of my favorite books!

    I enjoyed his first design book so much that I purchased the second book the minute it became available. His layered design esthetic is a welcome departure from the sterile empty trends that have dominated the design world in recent years.

      James Farmer has a true gift for decoration. His books were also a delight to read as well as look at.

    James T. Farmer - what a treat! Such beautiful, warm, classic, design. I love that his rooms with book shelf libraries display the books with the spines showing, as opposed to the current trend of books displayed with page-side showing. If all I see is shelf after shelf of white, off white, edges of paper, I think the person who lives there must not read! (Just my person opinion.)

    • @thetartantopiary

      I have often chuckled at that trend, although it does provide a certain look, good luck finding the book you are searching for. I do love Farmer.

      Moisture building in houses that due to the development of climate change can cause books to go mouldy very expensive hard covers can be wasted

    I just found your channel and subscribed! Thanks for the lovely video. Mr. Farmer's work is beautiful. This is how a home should look and feel! I'm so tired of white and beige and MCM! Please do a video on Scott Meacham Wood. I also loved the work of Dan Carrithers and Charles Faudree. Although both are now gone, their style was classic and timeless. I will continue to watch your channel.

    I need a decorator in SC, but doubt that I can afford him. I have his books and have been dreaming about moving here from up north and finally did. I hope to find someone who can help me achieve his aesthetic.
