At 18, she began a meteoric career at Vogue magazine that took her to posts in London, Milan, Madrid and Paris. She now concentrates on writing in Barcelona where she lives with her daughter. About the AuthorLisa Lovett-Smith was born in 1967 in Barcelona of British parents. She has also published two books on fashion photography, and has curated various exhibitions in the fields of design and photography. Lisa has published five books on interiors, including London Living, the first in the new Living series, and Paris Interiors, Moroccan Interiors and Provençal Interiors.If you look at the names you can also feel that this is not about the little cottages of the region, but some luxurious villas and mansions of these millionaires. Well, this is a beautiful book but the reason I purchased it was in hopes that it would give me some do-able Mediterranean-style decorating ideas. But the book still gives you a great feel of the style and it does have really tasty interiors and gardens from all around the coast. As I said, it contains amazing pictures but primarily of very authentic - old - mediterranean homes and mostly not something that I was looking to have in my home.

This book is exellent for those that are looking to give their live style the mediterranean touch, from room decoration to architectural desing, from colors of the sea to earth tones. I am not claiming that I was misled in anyway, I just wanted to provide this comment for future buyers who might have been thinLisa Lovett-Smith has chosen twenty-two homes, each with its own distinctive style and atmosphere, that capture the essence of Mediterranean decorative style in its immense variety. Mediterranean Living shows an abundance of both traditional and unusual interiors, and is full of original details that will delight and inspire.. Each home is individual, but always respects the Mediterranean instinct for the simple and the beautiful. The mediterranean interiors in this book reflect the color and flavor of this part of the world with its blend of tradition, brilliant improvization and more modern architectural interpretations of classical themes. Mediterranean Living is a remarkable glimpse into the homes and holiday hideaways of creative people whose decorative tastes range from the traditional to the ultra-modern or minimalist. The recurring elements in these seaside homes—color, terracotta tiles, whitewash, simple ceramic styles, the play of light and shadow—reflect current decorating themes and ideLisa Lovett-Smith was born in 1967 in Barcelona of British parents.
