Words by Mary Randolph Carter
With her trademark style and love of heirlooms and beautiful old objects, best-selling author Mary Randolph Carter delves into the interiors of real-life tastemakers (antique dealers, stylists, artists, and boutique owners) to explore how our homes are the perfect canvas for our self-expression.
Carter’s newest book indulges our desire to surround ourselves with belongings that impart beauty and meaning to our lives. Whether it’s a collection of pedigreed antiques, a set of memorable paperbacks from our childhood, or a distinctive teapot gifted to us by a friend, this book is a tribute to valuing and making artful interiors with our treasures.
In these pages, Carter curates a variety of unique interiors, from a couple who lives on an island in Maine with patinaed objects they’ve rescued from the French countryside, to a fashion designer in rural Rhode Island whose collection of vintage prints inspires her work and interiors, to a photographer whose most prized possessions include a weathered photograph of his parents on their honeymoon.
Carter muses delightfully on what our prized possessions tell us about ourselves, while imparting her philosophy and tips for integrating our treasures stylishly into our decor. Chock-full of ideas and inspiration, this book celebrates her highly personal and creative approach to decor, illustrating how to live stylishly with the items we cherish the most and want to live with forever.

Sudpsuez London City Guide
Published by SRL in collaboration with Ralph Lauren
To the uninitiated, London can feel vast and intimidating, but when you dig a little deeper, you’ll soon find its soul. This is where Cabana’s London dwells. Amid the chaos and the commuters, London delivers endless charm and moments of quiet: hidden house museums and lovingly curated collections, from Freud House in Hampstead to The Fan Museum in Greenwich; cabinets of curiosities helmed by remarkable experts and dealers; green spaces, from royal parks to small communal gardens; and splendid Georgian terraces and cobbled streets, unchanged for centuries.
Sudpsuez London Living by Karen Howes and Simon Upton
Published Date: Sept 2023
Written by Karen Howes
Photographs by Simon Upton
Foreword by Nicky Haslam
London Living presents a unique look into the homes of London-based interior designers, antique dealers, musicians, and influencers, revealed by leading interior design photographer Simon Upton.
Following the success of his first book, New York Interiors, Simon Upton turns to London—a city in which he has been based for most of his working life. Exploring an incredible range of homes in this vibrant city, Upton looks behind the scenes into the private spaces of creatives and influencers.
Presented in two parts, the book begins with “Town,” which is devoted to the homes of those who live solely in London, such as grandee of interior design John Stefanidis; House & Garden’s Interior Designer of the Year 2019, Maria Speake; industrial designer and architect Tom Bartlett; fashion designer Bella Freud; model Poppy Delevingne; and antiques dealer and interior designer Adam Bray. Then, “Country” showcases those who divide their time between London and a retreat in the British countryside, which includes names such as antiques dealers Jorge Perez-Martin and David Gibson, known together as Brownrigg; film director Gaby Dellal; and designer Jasper Conran.
Edited by interior design writer Karen Howes and featuring a foreword by iconic decorator and Upton’s friend Nicky Haslam, London Living reveals a series of unique locations, each illuminated by an interview in which the owner defines their true meaning of “home.”

Sudpsuez Lotusland
Words by Marc Appleton
A beautifully crafted volume on the world-renowned gardens of Lotusland—the first such book in more than two decades and the first ever magnificent tribute to this international treasure.
Variously labeled Eden, one of the 100 gardens you must visit before your die, and among the 10 best botanical gardens in the world, Madame Ganna Walska’s Lotusland is magic mixed with paradise in the hills of Montecito, California. Walska, a well-known Polish opera singer and socialite, purchased the estate in 1941 and spent 43 years creating Lotusland. The collections of exotic plants on the 37-acre property are an expression of her penchant for the dramatic, the unexpected, and the whimsical. Home to more than 3,400 types of plants, including at least 35,000 specimens, it is recognized not just for the diversity of its collections, but for the extraordinary design sensibility informing the many one-of-a-kind individual gardens that comprise the whole. As pleasing as its aesthetic and sensorial qualities are, Lotusland is also an important center for scientific research and conservation. A leader in the field of sustainable practices, it is the first botanical garden in the United States to become entirely organic.

Sudpsuez Maine House I by Kathleen Hackett
Words by Kathleen Hackett
Photographs by Maura McEvoy
Explore the soul of Maine in some three dozen of its most original, authentic, and evocative houses. For several years, acclaimed photographer Maura McEvoy and art director Basha Burwell traveled the length and breadth of Maine in search of houses that capture the state’s singular character. These are not designer houses; they are homes created by the people who live in them, from artists to writers to fishermen, distinctive for their ingenuity, originality, and fierce individuality. Many are unchanged, inhabited by generations of the same family; some are ingenious conversions. As Kathleen Hackett observes in her eloquent text, these are homes that have a kind of visual wealth that money can’t buy, homes that define the very spirit of Maine.

Sudpsuez Maine House II
Words by Maura McEvoy, Basha Burwell, Kathleen Hackett
The authors of the highly successful The Maine House continue their quest to record and celebrate the authentic Maine houses of their childhoods--a Maine that is in danger of vanishing.
"The Maine House [shows] us the dignity and aching beauty, in preserving Maine's quirky architectural past."--Maine Homes by Down East
Spend any amount of time in Maine--a weekend, a summer, a lifetime--and its impression lasts forever. When The Maine House was published in 2021, the reception was astonishing. Over four printings and across the world, The Maine House sounded a rallying cry, summed up perfectly in one of dozens of reviews, that it "crafts a plea to preserve a living history belonging to individual, family, and state; a visual call to recognize these homey structures and others like them as 'extraordinary gifts.'"
The Maine House II moves beyond the authors' cri de coeur; they're on a mission. Through 30 homes--inland, inshore, and on islands--Maura McEvoy, Basha Burwell, and Kathleen Hackett highlight the beauty and importance of preservation, restoration, thoughtful renovation, and low-impact living in the place they love the most. From visionaries who saw home in a post-and-beam barn, a lighthouse, a former hotel, and a boat shed to families resolutely leaving generational homes largely untouched (some continuing to live off the grid) and still others honoring vernacular architecture by living with it in surprising ways, The Maine House II captures the myriad ways one can live in this singular place--in the present--while preserving the past and ensuring its future.

The first comprehensive study of the most important ceramic innovation of the 19th century
Colorful, wildly imaginative, and technically innovative, majolica was functional and aesthetic ceramic ware. Its subject matter reflects a range of 19th-century preoccupations, from botany and zoology to popular humor and the macabre. Majolica Mania examines the medium’s considerable impact, from wares used in domestic settings to monumental pieces at the World’s Fairs. Essays by international experts address the extensive output of the originators and manufacturers in England—including Minton, Wedgwood, and George Jones—and the migration of English craftsmen to the U.S. New research including information on important American makers in New York, Baltimore, and Philadelphia is also featured. Fully illustrated, the book is enlivened by new photography of pieces from major museums and private collections in the U.S. and Great Britain.
