Living Life Beautifully tells the story of how Christina founded legendary fabric company Cabbages & Roses and grew it into a lifestyle brand. Christina talks about her inspirations and influences, and how she works these into her products. Specially-commissioned photography allows us a peek into her newly acquired London apartment, and we see behind the scenes at her family home in the Bath countryside. This 600-year-old cottage is the backdrop for constantly changing interiors—it is where Christina designs her fabrics, experiments with her new wallpapers, and gathers all her favorite antiques, inherited gems, and newly sourced vintage aquisitions. In addition, Christina shows us a selection of other homes and lifestyles she finds truly inspriational, including those of Brigette Buchanan, of interiors company Odd Limited, and Maureen Doherty of Egg.
Living Life Beautifully Reviews
-
A beautiful coffee table type book. Filled with gorgeous photos of how the author lives. The style in general is Scandi-influenced romantic shabby chic, with an emphasis on white and flowers. I'd never heard of the brand "Cabbages & Roses" before; this book is about this brand's aesthetic and vision - which is not just about products, but more of a way of life. Quite an interesting read; you do feel transported to a different world thanks to the very effective pictures and descriptions.

It wasn't quite what I expected - several of the featured homeowners were quite young and didn't seem to be living life as beautifully as the author - but it's a great book for a rainy Sunday morning.

I want to live in this book.
-
I found this book very relaxing and peaceful to look through.
-
Such a beautiful book to look at! The fabrics and ideas...swoon. I've been working more in kitchens with organizing and making things pretty so this book was a perfect fit for ideas and more.

The pictures in the book are pretty.
